About the company
California Breakers, Inc., doing business as Cbione, manufactures and reconditions low and medium voltage circuit breakers and electrical switchgear equipment for federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. Cbione is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Vista, California, operating under primary NAICS codes 333248 (Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance).
Cbione's capability portfolio centers on circuit breaker inspection, overhaul, reconditioning, and replacement services to ANSI/NEMA and OEM standards, with secondary work in switchgear supply and electrical equipment repair. Representative recent prime work includes a $54,275 total small business set-aside delivery from Air Force Space Command (July 2025) for a replacement Square-D circuit breaker for BX switchgear at an Aurora, Colorado facility; a $163,914 small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs (July 2024) for utility relay and trip unit supply to support main breaker repairs at Richmond VAMC; a $124,505 delivery order under the Bureau of Reclamation's $3 million Master IDIQ for reconditioning of 11 circuit breakers (January 2023); and a $225,555 purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (January 2023) for Square-D Masterpact circuit breaker supply, performed without set-aside.
Customer concentration skews heavily toward two agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation anchors 70% of combined potential value ($3.9 million across 12 awards) and holds the Master IDIQ for circuit breaker reconditioning at western hydroelectric facilities. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard represents 66% of award count (17 awards) but only 9% of potential value ($492 thousand), indicating a pattern of numerous, smaller-dollar maintenance and repair task orders across Coast Guard vessels and installations. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Veterans Affairs, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration account for the remaining material dollars.
Cbione operates as a single-vehicle prime under the Bureau of Reclamation's $3 million Master IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Contract 140R1020D0003), which has issued six task orders generating $597 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor does not sit on GWACs, GSA Schedules, or agency-wide multiple-award vehicles; work is awarded through individual purchase orders and task orders under agency-specific contracts.
Activity has declined materially. Awards peaked at nine in 2024 but dropped to five in 2025 and three year-to-date in 2026, reflecting a post-IDIQ slowdown. Only three awards (combined potential value $71 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure but material pipeline risk as the Bureau of Reclamation IDIQ nears maturity. Combined potential value across all 56 prime awards stands at $5.5 million, with $2.5 million obligated (45% draw-down), a mature posture for a small vendor with a dominant customer concentration in a single IDIQ vehicle.
Cbione holds no named subcontracting role and operates entirely as a prime contractor. Work is performed at the vendor's Vista, California facility and at customer sites nationwide, including Coast Guard installations, Army and Air Force bases, Navy vessels, VA medical centers, and Bureau of Reclamation hydroelectric dams in the western United States.
