Aschbacher & Associates Inc.

Aschbacher & Associates Inc., a small business electronic components supplier based in Beavercreek Township, Ohio, delivers passive and active electrical components — resistors, capacitors, filters, coils, transformers, switches, and specialized radio frequency parts — to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontractor footprint. The vendor competes full-and-open on Defense Logistics Agency purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, carrying no SBA set-aside designations despite holding total small business set-aside IDCs.

Aschbacher's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 4,307 of the vendor's 5,032 total awards (85.6%) and $29.8 million of the $36.6 million combined potential value (81.4%), with DLA Aviation contributing 179 awards and $1.5 million. The top five customer entities account for 96% of awards by count. Aschbacher operates almost exclusively within the Defense Department's supply chain for electronic components supporting military systems and equipment maintenance. The source data spans from 1982 forward, reflecting four decades of DoD engagement, though the vendor's most active period is recent: 2022–2026 show consistent annual volume between 253 and 288 awards, with 60 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 across a truncated quarter.

The vendor holds two principal indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: a $350 thousand fixed plastic capacitor IDC awarded November 26, 2025 (single award, no set-aside, 12 orders per year anticipated, 60-day delivery requirement), and a $250 thousand fixed metallic capacitor IDC established in August 2022. The top five named IDCs by task-order volume include two additional DLA vehicles (SPE7M520D61FT and SPE7M520D61FH, each carrying 6–7 delivery orders). Aschbacher issues purchase orders directly off these vehicles and receives discrete purchase orders from DLA distribution depots; awards range from sub-$100 components to orders exceeding $70,000.

Capability portfolio centers on passive components: resistors (1,138 awards), filters and networks (1,082 awards), capacitors (974 awards), coils and transformers (533 awards), and switches (424 awards) dominate the award count. Representative recent work includes a $118.5 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order for fixed plastic capacitors (February 2026), a $61.6 thousand rotary switch order (November 2025), a $58.1 thousand radio frequency coil set-aside (June 2025), and a $53.3 thousand radio frequency filter total small business set-aside (September 2025). Aschbacher performs all work at its Beavercreek Township facility or Paterson, New Jersey warehouse and delivers to DLA distribution centers (W1A8) and Navy depots nationwide. The vendor has maintained federal contractor registration since January 2002.

Activity is flat year-over-year within the 2022–2025 band (253–288 awards annually) and shows minimal decline in obligated dollars. Obligated spend ($44.9 million across the award portfolio) exceeds combined potential value ($36.6 million) by 23 percentage points, indicating mature execution across older contract vehicles. In the next twenty-four months, 39 awards carrying $567 thousand in combined potential value reach completion, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor competes on full-and-open basis, not under set-asides, despite its eligibility and frequent receipt of total small business set-aside purchase orders. Aschbacher's posture is volumetric and transactional: hundreds of small purchase orders annually against two or three standing IDCs, supporting DLA's just-in-time procurement model for electronic components critical to defense logistics and military readiness.
