Caddell Electric Co Inc.

Caddell Electric Co Inc., a Norfolk, Virginia-based small business, supplies electrical components, wire, insulators, pumps, fans, motors, and related equipment to the Department of the Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor exclusively on small-business-reserved and unrestricted purchase orders, with no subcontracting footprint across its eighty-one federal awards dating to 1982.

Caddell Electric operates in wholesale electrical equipment distribution and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, grounded in NAICS categories for electrical apparatus and equipment merchant wholesale (13 awards) and wire manufacturing (12 awards), with secondary work in motor and generator manufacturing (8 awards), commercial fan and blower equipment (5 awards), and machinery repair and maintenance (7 awards). Its PSC profile reflects the same concentration: wire and cable electrical (19 awards), fans and air circulators (7 awards), electrical insulators and insulating materials (4 awards), and maintenance/repair services for engines, turbines, and engine accessories (4 awards each). Representative recent awards include a $14,923.20 April 2026 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for magnet wire, a $5,065.00 February 2026 NAVSEA order for Nomex paper, a $17,000.00 March 2024 NAVSEA small-business-set-aside for fan equipment, and a $19,174.00 September 2021 Naval Facilities Engineering Command procurement for a Gould's turbine pump with motor.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Naval Sea Systems Command, which accounts for 48 awards (59% of the total) and $469 thousand combined potential value across the entire portfolio. The top five Navy commands (NAVSEA, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, United States Fleet Forces Command Atlantic, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Bureau of Naval Personnel) together with the U.S. Coast Guard represent 88% of all awards and 89% of combined potential value. The vendor sits on one indefinite delivery contract, N0018908A0200, with four task orders valued at $45 thousand combined.

Activity has been sporadic and low-volume in recent years, with only nine awards across 2022–2026 (ranging from one to three per year) against a long cumulative history dating to 1982. Combined potential value across all eighty-one awards totals $700 thousand, with combined dollars obligated reaching $783 thousand—indicating execution at or above projected ceiling values. No recompete cliff is evident given the transactional, low-dollar purchase-order nature of the work and the vendor's established, repeat-ordering relationship with Navy commands.
