CDI Industries Inc.

CDI Industries Inc., doing business as Coaxial Dynamics, manufactures precision electronic components — detecting elements, filters, directional couplers, and related RF/microwave parts — as a prime contractor supplying the Defense Logistics Agency and Naval systems commands on a full-and-open, small-business-set-aside basis. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, with manufacturing operations in Parma Heights, Ohio, and competes for individual purchase orders and delivery orders valued typically between $69 and $100,000 against four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts held with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling under total small business set-asides.

Coaxial Dynamics' federal footprint is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime alone accounts for 344 of 431 total awards (80% of the source's award count) with a combined potential value of $4.6 million, while a second tier of DLA entities (DLA proper, 25 awards; Navy NAVSEA, 15 awards; Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, 2 awards) and the Federal Aviation Administration (3 awards, $192.8 million combined potential value) round out the customer base. The FAA awards stand apart — three large helicopter-related electronics procurements totaling $192.8 million in potential value — but represent outliers against the dominant pattern of high-volume, small-dollar DLA Land and Maritime replenishment orders. Across the top five customers by award count, coverage reaches 90% of recent awards; the two rankings diverge sharply at the potential-value tier, where FAA's three large contracts dominate dollars while DLA Land and Maritime anchors volume and sustained repeatable demand.

Coaxial Dynamics holds five named parent vehicles, all Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. The top vehicle, IDC SPM7M110D5A56, has generated nine task orders totaling $57 thousand; SPM7M109D5X80 has produced six task orders worth $29 thousand; and three additional IDCs (SP093504D5G09, SP093505D6J29, SP093504D5A52) carry five, five, and three task orders respectively. Individual purchase order values cluster between $285 and $14,450, with the largest single DLA Land and Maritime order (excluding FAA work) reaching $100,000 for low pass filters awarded in September 2023. The company has maintained continuous federal contracting activity since 2001, with 21 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, dropping to 5 in 2024 and 8 in 2025, reflecting the nature of DLA's replenishment-order cadence rather than a programmatic decline; two awards appear in 2026 year-to-date as of the source date. No recompete cliff data is provided in the source, but the Indefinite Delivery Contract with the completion date of November 30, 2022, shows expiration in the past, suggesting potential vehicle refreshes or conversions to successor IDCs. Coaxial Dynamics operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); the source contains no subcontract activity.

The company's capability portfolio centers on RF/microwave passive components across five primary NAICS categories: Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (121 awards), Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing (59 awards), Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (57 awards), Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (49 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (48 awards). PSC concentration follows: Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments (168 awards), Filters And Networks (143 awards), and Antennas, Waveguides, And Related Equipment (98 awards). Representative recent work includes a $59,400 firm fixed-price order from DLA Land and Maritime in June 2025 for 9 low pass filters, a $14,450 order in February 2024 for low pass filters, and numerous $1,000–$7,000 detecting-element orders spanning 2022 to 2026. The combined potential value across all 431 awards stands at $199.2 million, though obligated dollars total only $5.8 million (3% of potential), indicating that many purchase orders represent firm commitments not yet fully invoiced at the source-data capture date.
