Cannon Load Banks, Inc.

Cannon Load Banks, Inc., a for-profit electrical equipment manufacturer based in Palmetto, Georgia, supplies electrical load banks, test sets, electrical components, and related testing and maintenance equipment to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders. The company does not hold set-aside certifications and competes full-and-open on the vast majority of its work, though two of its active indefinite delivery contracts are designated Total Small Business set-asides.

The company's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Defense Logistics Agency programs. DLA Aviation accounts for 51 awards valued at $12.3 million combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime represents 33 awards valued at $1.8 million, together representing 52% of recent award volume and 91% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army (31 awards, $259 thousand), the Department of the Air Force (16 awards, $83 thousand), and the Naval Sea Systems Command (12 awards, $67 thousand) complete the active customer set. Cannon Load Banks works across 64 distinct federal agencies, but the DLA relationship dominates both in call frequency and dollar magnitude.

Cannon Load Banks holds three active indefinite delivery contracts: a $1,387,920 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for electrical load banks (NSN 6150-01-631-3247) running through December 2029, a $250,000 single-award Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for electrical test sets (now expired as of May 2024), and a second $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for electrical test sets (expired March 2023). The company also maintains position on the Federal Supply Schedule (GS07F0575W), under which 56 task orders have been placed valued at $729 thousand combined potential value. Named delivery orders and purchase orders include a $133,380 delivery order from DLA Aviation for electrical load banks (September 2025), a $121,500 delivery order from DLA Aviation for load banks (October 2024), a $33,840 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical test sets (July 2023), and a $61,920 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical test sets (September 2022). More recently, the company received a $40,375 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation for one electrical load bank (NSN 6150-01-494-0884) on February 17, 2026, with delivery due December 8, 2026. The company also supplies nonaircraft gas fans, relay subassemblies, switches, toggles, and indicator lights across smaller-dollar purchase orders.

Award activity has declined in recent years — seven awards in 2022 to three in 2026 (through March). Only one award in the source is scheduled for ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, valued at $40 thousand, meaning the company faces minimal near-term recompete pressure. Cannon Load Banks subcontracts to Leidos on a science operations and maintenance support task for the United States Antarctic Program, but the vast majority of its federal business is as a direct prime supplier. The company has maintained continuous federal contracting presence since at least 1994, holds active SAM.gov registration, and is registered on the GSA Schedule through October 2025. Primary NAICS categories are Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (125 awards) and Motor and Generator Manufacturing (68 awards), with primary PSCs in Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (93 awards) and Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments (57 awards).
