Behlman Electronics, Inc.

Behlman Electronics, Inc., a subsidiary of Orbit International Corp. based in Hauppauge, New York, manufactures and delivers specialized power conversion equipment — power supplies, frequency converters, static inverters, and AC/DC electrical components — to the Department of the Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders, with a smaller subcontractor footprint under defense primes. The company operates predominantly full-and-open, without SBA set-aside designation across most of its prime work, though recent NAVSUP awards carry Total Small Business and Partial Small Business set-aside markings.

Behlman's customer concentration is acute and Navy-centric. The top five funding agencies account for 70% of recent awards by count, but the dollar distribution is heavily skewed: the Naval Air Warfare Center (Naval Air Systems Command) dominates potential value at $44.7 million across 16 awards, while Naval Supply Systems Command, despite leading in award count at 155 awards, carries only $7.2 million in combined potential value. The gap signals Behlman's role as a routine supplier of smaller components and repair work to NAVSUP and a design-phase or modernization supplier to NAWC. Naval Sea Systems Command places 66 awards for $378 thousand combined potential value, Defense Logistics Agency contributes 28 awards, and the broader Department of the Navy spans 27 additional awards. The Air Force and Army Materiel Command account for smaller shares. Across 426 total awards since 1992, Behlman has worked with 46 distinct customer agencies, though the Navy footprint represents the dominant pipeline.

Recent prime capability examples include a $203 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded December 31, 2025) for 11 units of a specialized power supply to support naval systems, a $170.950 thousand NAVSUP order (January 27, 2026) for a power supply delivered through November 2026, and a $75.021 thousand Partial Small Business purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (January 15, 2024) for an AC Source hardware unit supporting the Navy's mobile familiarization lab. Repair work includes a $2.9 thousand NAVSEA order (November 22, 2024) for static inverter repair and a $1.37 thousand NAVSUP order (January 11, 2023) for regulator repair.

The subcontract footprint is concentrated among tier-one defense primes. Behlman subs to Raytheon on multiple power supply efforts including FCS MK 99 Mod 14 and intelligent electronics unit production work (awards dating 2021–2024), Lockheed Martin on VPX AC/DC power supply and related modernization kits (2024–2024), L3Harris Technologies on BIG SAFARI motor and generator manufacturing and spare parts for spares support (2025), SRC on Multi-Domain Agile Condor Enhancements power supply development (2022, 2024), and Joint Technical Solutions on Redstone test and engineering support services including AC power source (October 16, 2024). Recent sub awards also include CH-47F foreign military sales work through Science and Engineering Services and Defense Systems and Solutions (June–July 2025). Across these relationships, Behlman supplies power conversion, motor and generator, and electrical component subsystems.

Behlman sits on five named parent vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule GS24F1445C (48 task orders, $502 thousand combined potential value), Scientific Equipment and Services (25 task orders, $408 thousand combined potential value), and three indefinite delivery contracts: N6833517D0039 (5 task orders, $22.7 million combined potential value), SP043097D0690 (5 task orders), and N0016404D9002 (4 task orders). The IDC N6833517D0039 carries material value and likely anchors modernization or design work, while the GSA schedule vehicle and scientific-equipment vehicle reflect transactional component supply.

Activity has been volatile. After six awards in 2022 and three in 2023, the company placed ten awards in 2024, dropped to seven in 2025, and has logged two awards in the first quarter of 2026. Only two awards (combined potential value $185 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company's NAICS profile centers on Motor and Generator Manufacturing (66 awards) and Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (57 awards), with PSC concentration in Electrical Converters Nonrotating (211 awards) — a direct reflection of its power conversion core capability. Across all awards, Behlman has obligated $47.7 million against $61.9 million in combined potential value (77% realization rate), suggesting active execution across a mature prime and sub footprint.
