Cable Associates Inc.

Cable Associates Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Eynon, Pennsylvania, manufactures custom cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, and electronic components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (71% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on major defense platforms. The vendor does not hold SBA set-aside certifications and competes in full-and-open procurements, though a subset of Army Materiel Command BPA calls carry total small business set-asides.

Cable Associates' capability portfolio centers on fiber optic cable assemblies, electrical harnesses, connector systems, and specialized wiring for military platforms. Recent prime awards include a $361,744.45 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal (awarded September 2024) for a multiple-application fiber optic platform including testing equipment and training; a $52,637.96 total-small-business BPA call from Army Materiel Command (February 2023) for cable and harness materials supporting the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle program at Letterkenny Army Depot; and recurring purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for power divider radio components and cable assemblies in the $1,000 to $14,700 range. The vendor also holds two prime IDVs: a $1,061,827.16 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Materiel Command at Redstone Arsenal (running through October 2026) for cable and harness materials under federal supply classes 5975, 5995, and 6150 supporting the AMPV program, and a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (expired September 2022) for fiber optic cable assemblies.

Customer concentration is defense-centric and fragmented. The top five customers by award count account for 76% of awards but are distributed across Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (64 awards, $942 thousand), the Missile Defense Agency (16 awards), the Department of the Army (14 awards), Army PEO Missiles and Space (13 awards), and DLA Aviation (13 awards, $96 thousand). By dollar value, the top four customers represent 48% of potential value, led by Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal ($1.5 million across 7 awards), Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command ($942 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime ($268 thousand), and DLA Aviation ($96 thousand). Cable Associates serves 14 distinct federal customer agencies, but no single customer dominates the dollar footprint.

Cable Associates places task orders under five named parent vehicles, most prominently Indefinite Delivery Contract W25G1V09A0440 (9 task orders, $249 thousand combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement W911N222A0001 (4 task orders, $54 thousand). The vendor's award portfolio is concentrated in fiber optic cable manufacturing (49 awards) and aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (22 awards) by NAICS, with wire and electrical cable (51 awards) and cable/cord/wire assemblies for communications equipment (12 awards) dominating by PSC code.

Cable Associates subcontracts heavily to Lockheed Martin Corporation and Laurel Technologies Partnership, supplying specialized wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for production and sustainment of major platforms including the M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System, THAAD missile systems, Precision Strike Missile, Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, and Navy tactical display systems. Sub work spans technical tasks such as test cable kits, harness branching, connector integration, and system-integration support on platforms carrying both classified and unclassified designations.

Activity has grown sharply in recent years — 9 awards in 2022 to 31 in 2024 — but slowed to 5 awards year-to-date in 2026. The vendor reports 157 total awards spanning prime and sub work from 2003 to March 2026, with combined potential value of $5.8 million against $8.9 million obligated (154% of potential value), indicating significant task-order stacking against the named IDVs. Prime awards dominate the footprint, but the vendor's growing sub-award volume under Lockheed Martin and Laurel Technologies on missile systems and Navy platforms represents a material and accelerating revenue stream not fully captured in prime-award potential values.
