Automated Business Power, Inc.

Automated Business Power, Inc., doing business as A B P, is a small business manufacturer of advanced power supplies, battery storage, cable assemblies, and specialized electronic components that operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across federal defense and civilian agencies. Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland with operations in Montgomery Village, A B P is a child entity of Mountain Optech, Inc. and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with the majority of its portfolio carrying small business designations across delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts.

A B P's capability portfolio centers on ruggedized power systems and communications equipment for military and government logistics. Representative prime work includes a $137.6 million Army purchase order for an HF Communications Tactical Operations Center kit powering the L3Harris AN/PRC-150 transceiver, a $115.3 million Air Force purchase order for three self-contained uninterruptible suitcase-style power-audio systems for AN/PRC-152, AN/PRC-148, and AN/PRC-117G tactical radios, and a $150.4 million Air Combat Command purchase order for Harris radio cases and ancillary equipment. A B P holds multiple active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, including a $1.43 million single-award IDC (expires February 2028) for power supplies and a $350 thousand DLA Aviation IDC (December 2026) for cable assemblies, all designated as Total Small Business set-asides.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 672 awards ($48.7 million combined potential value) representing 29% of recent awards by count, followed by the Department of the Army (225 awards, $8.1 million), United States Marine Corps (175 awards, $13.7 million), and DLA Aviation (129 awards, $7.5 million). These five agencies represent 57% of award count. By potential value, DLA Land and Maritime again leads, but Air National Guard (54 awards, $15.6 million) ranks second, signaling significant direct Air Force spend concentrated in relatively few large orders. The Marine Corps ranks third by dollars ($13.7 million), trailing Army Materiel Command's Communications Electronics Command ($8.5 million).

A B P places the vast majority of work through indefinite delivery contracts. The top parent vehicle by value is listed as "Buildings and Building Materials" with 1,279 task orders and $85.5 million combined potential value—likely a consolidated reporting artifact for DLA IDC task orders. Specific named IDCs including SPE7LX19D5091 and SPE7L521D5002 account for 225 additional task orders. This vehicle-heavy posture means A B P's revenue depends on renewal of standing IDCs with DLA and Army, with no significant GSA Schedule or GWAC presence in the footprint.

Activity has declined modestly from 79 awards in 2022 to 56 in 2024, recovering partially to 70 in 2025. Only 9 awards appear in 2026 year-to-date. A single award faces completion in the next twenty-four months with a $15 thousand potential value, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but also a compressed pipeline. Combined obligated dollars stand at $153.8 million against $518.8 million in combined potential value—a 30% obligation rate typical of indefinite delivery contracts with unexercised option quantities.

A B P's NAICS footprint reflects its product mix: Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (1,285 awards), Capacitor/Resistor/Coil/Transformer Manufacturing (296 awards), Storage Battery Manufacturing (189 awards), and Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (170 awards). Its PSC profile mirrors this—Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (834 awards), Batteries, Rechargeable (245 awards), and Radio/Television Communication Equipment (179 awards).

In its subcontractor role, A B P delivers electronic communications cases and communications equipment to General Dynamics Information Technology and Tidewater Distributors LLC. The vendor's three recent sub-awards (April 2026, March 2026, September 2025) suggest selective teaming on larger programs rather than a deep bench of prime relationships.
