Aponte Power Services LLC

Aponte Power Services LLC Amanda Aponte Division, doing business as Aponte Power Services LLC, is a SBA-certified women-owned small business (WOSB) based in Portland, Oregon, that supplies electrical equipment, components, and maintenance services to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and other civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and woman-owned small business designations. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with 100% of recent awards designated as set-aside work.

Aponte Power Services' customer base centers overwhelmingly on Army Corps of Engineers districts. The top five customer entities by award count account for 86% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla (140 awards, $14.1 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers as a consolidated entity (57 awards, $5.2 million), the Portland District (46 awards, $1.3 million), the Seattle District (9 awards, $787 thousand), and Department of the Army proper (8 awards, $2.2 million). Dollar-value rankings diverge slightly: the Nashville District (6 awards, $8.2 million combined potential value) anchors the second-largest dollar share despite placing fewer awards than the portfolio's Portland and Seattle districts, reflecting higher-value infrastructure projects. A single large award to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2024 for solar radiation sensors ($1.125 million, woman-owned small business sole source) and episodic work with the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Geological Survey round out the customer roster. Across 301 total awards spanning seventeen years, Aponte Power Services has served twenty-three distinct federal agencies.

The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on electrical equipment procurement and infrastructure maintenance for dams, locks, and federal water resource facilities. Representative prime work includes a $1.119 million purchase order (July 2024) for medium-voltage interrupt switches, transformers, and motor control centers for Pickwick Lock; a $638 thousand purchase order (June 2024) for low-voltage switchgear, motor control centers, panelboards, disconnect switches, and transformers at Melton Hill Lock in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; a $298 thousand award (October 2025) for transformer replacement and hatchery electrical upgrade at Dworshak Dam, Ahsahka, Idaho; a $1.125 million woman-owned small business sole-source award from NOAA (July 2024) for solar radiation sensors and supporting equipment to replace obsolete sensors for the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Recap Array; and a $131 thousand purchase order (August 2022) from the Bureau of Reclamation for repair and installation of 250-horsepower electric motors at the Cold Springs Pumping Plant. Smaller awards typical of the portfolio ($16 thousand to $100 thousand) cover specialized parts such as ABB SF6 breaker overhaul kits, motor control center upgrades, submersible cables, lighting fixtures, and monitoring system components. Primary NAICS categories reflect this mix: All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (138 awards), Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (20 awards), Power Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (15 awards), and Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (15 awards).

Aponte Power Services holds a single indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity blanket purchase agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, valued at $1 million with a ceiling and performance period through February 23, 2030, awarded January 31, 2025. This BPA serves as the primary contracting vehicle: ninety-eight task orders placed under BPA W912EF15A0001 (the predecessor or related BPA line) carry $3.1 million in combined potential value, representing the largest share of the vendor's active pipeline. Thirteen additional task orders ($217 thousand combined potential value) sit under a second Corps BPA (W912EF15A0004). The remaining seven identified parent vehicles—BPAs with the Nashville and Seattle Districts and an indefinite-delivery contract—collectively account for fewer than a dozen task orders and minimal dollar volume.

Award velocity has remained steady to slightly declining over the past five years (ten awards in 2022 and 2023, eleven in 2024, seven in 2025, one in 2026 year-to-date), with combined obligated dollars of $22 million against $34.4 million in combined potential value across the entire portfolio. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $1.4 million—a modest recompete cliff relative to the vendor's total portfolio. This low exposure reflects the portfolio's heavy weighting toward historical, lower-value task orders under long-standing BPA vehicles, many of which closed out in prior years.
