C U Enterprises LTD

C U Enterprises LTD, a woman-owned small business subsidiary of parent company CU Enterprises LTD based in Lompoc, California, supplies specialized mechanical, electrical, and aviation-related components to the federal government as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly on full-and-open basis without set-aside designation across its prime portfolio, though approximately 8% of awards carry Total Small Business or competitive 8(a) set-aside designations.

The vendor's footprint is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) purchase orders. The top five customers account for 98% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Aviation (2,924 awards, $17.2 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (2,246 awards, $11.9 million combined potential value). When ranked by dollar magnitude rather than award count, the vendor's customer base broadens slightly—Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ranks third with 33 awards valued at $7.9 million combined potential value, followed by the Army's Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal at $3.9 million across 12 awards. Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command places fifth with 43 awards carrying $586 thousand in combined potential value. The customer concentration pattern reflects a heavily defense-focused supply chain, with the DLA divisions accounting for approximately 94% of combined potential value.
