LQB Enterprises LLC

LQB Enterprises LLC, doing business as Bull's-Eye Wire & Cable, is a small business manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire, cable, and related components operating as a prime contractor (100% of awards) to the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. The vendor operates from Lapeer, Michigan and executes small-dollar purchase orders on a consistent basis, with no subcontract footprint and no apparent SBA set-aside designations that recur across the portfolio, though individual awards sometimes carry Total Small Business set-asides.

Bull's-Eye Wire & Cable's federal footprint is narrow and deep. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 1,843 awards (99.5% of the portfolio) with $7.1 million combined potential value, leaving minimal exposure to other agencies—the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation collectively represent five awards worth $29 thousand. Customer concentration is absolute: DLA Land and Maritime dominates both award count and dollar value by an order of magnitude. The vendor has served this single customer since 2009 and holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a potential value up to $250 thousand, primarily for power cables, electrical wire, special purpose cables, magnet wire, and radio frequency cables in support of military logistics operations.

The capability portfolio is concrete and narrow: magnet wire, electrical wire (copper and resistance variants), power cables, special purpose cables, telephone cables, radio frequency cables, stranded wire, wire braid, and related electrical components. Representative work includes a $27,999.86 total small business award in March 2024 for magnet wire delivery with a reels count specified, a $135,850 electrical wire purchase order in September 2023, a $13,225.59 total small business special purpose cable order in May 2024, and recurring orders ranging from under $100 to roughly $27 thousand per transaction, nearly all firm fixed-price purchase orders with performance in Lapeer, Michigan.

Activity has declined year over year—104 awards in 2022 to 7 awards through June 2026—which reflects either a shift in DLA's procurement pattern, vendor capacity constraints, or both. Combined obligated dollars across the portfolio reach $3.9 million (55% of potential value), indicating substantial completion and payment. The recompete window for the next twenty-four months shows only two awards (combined potential value $19 thousand) reaching ultimate completion, which is immaterial exposure. The vendor's top NAICS categories are Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (537 awards), Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (566 awards), and Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying (441 awards), all consistent with wire and cable commodity supply. The top PSC code is Wire and Cable, Electrical, representing 1,847 of 1,852 awards. The vendor competes in full-and-open (no set-aside posture), though occasional individual awards carry total small business set-asides; the vendor qualifies as a small business by size standard.
