CMC Electronics Inc.

CMC Electronics Inc., a Canadian aerospace and defense electronics manufacturer headquartered in Saint-Laurent, Quebec with operational facilities in Ottawa, Ontario, is a prime contractor delivering specialized avionics components, circuit card assemblies, and electronic systems to the U.S. federal government. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, with 95 percent of its recent award footprint as prime contracts and 5 percent as subcontractor work.

CMC Electronics operates across defense and civilian logistics platforms, with a capability portfolio anchored in precision electronic assemblies, navigational systems, and avionics components for military aviation sustainment. Representative prime work includes a $696,280 DLA Aviation purchase order for 65 panel indicating line items awarded in August 2023, a $957,420 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for control panel electronics awarded in February 2022, and a $498,150 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for 66 switch assemblies awarded in April 2024. Smaller but recurring awards cover circuit card assemblies, lamp board assemblies, filter indicators, optical instrument windows, and cable assemblies—the commodity backbone of the company's federal footprint.

Customer concentration is steep and reflects the logistics-focused nature of CMC's prime business. The Defense Logistics Agency dominates both award volume and dollar value, accounting for 63 percent of recent awards across three DLA sub-agencies: DLA Aviation (216 awards, $36 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (242 awards, $8.9 million), and DLA corporate (149 awards). The Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command anchors the remaining major dollar value at $19.8 million across 78 awards. The top five customer categories represent 91 percent of combined potential value. Activity shows sharp growth through 2024 (52 awards, up from 3 in 2022) but has contracted to 34 awards in 2025 and 2 awards year-to-date through mid-2026, signaling a recent cliff or pause in new purchasing.

CMC Electronics places task orders under five named indefinite delivery vehicles, with the heaviest concentration on Indefinite Delivery Contract FA862520D3000 (14 task orders) and Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4027 (12 task orders)—both Air Force vehicles tied to sustainment and procurement of avionics components. Indefinite Delivery Contract DAAH2303D0153, an Army contract, carries 4 task orders valued at $3.9 million. The portfolio also includes SPRBL116D0012 (6 task orders, $936 thousand) and FA810621D0001 (8 task orders). Only $232 thousand in combined potential value reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure but also suggesting reduced near-term pipeline activity.

In its subcontractor role, CMC Electronics supplies avionics and electronic components to a roster of tier-one primes: Textron Aviation Defense (sustainment engineering and program management for T-6 aircraft and foreign military sales, including T-6 sustainment support and navigation database subscriptions), Lockheed Martin (C-130J combined aircraft delivery, GPS/WAAS systems, and M-TADS/PNVS assemblies), L3Harris Technologies (RC-135 sustainment and BIG SAFARI electronic component manufacturing), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (UH-60M and Combat Rescue Helicopter aircraft parts and service), and Canadian Commercial Corporation (UH-60 flight control computer overhaul). These relationships anchor CMC's exposure to production and sustainment programs for military rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms, and include foreign military sales work for Tunisia and Vietnam T-6 programs and Norwegian F-35 upgrades.

CMC Electronics has maintained active federal contractor registration since June 2001 and operates as a parent entity with no named subsidiaries in the source. The company's award footprint reflects a pure-play avionics and electronic component supplier posture, with NAICS concentration in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (139 awards), Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (107 awards), and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical and Nautical System Manufacturing (90 awards). Across 31 federal customer agencies, CMC competes on technical qualifications and established supply relationships rather than through small business set-asides.
