Comsaco, LLC

Comsaco, LLC, doing business as Comsaco Inc., manufactures specialized electrical components and assemblies for maritime and naval applications as a prime contractor on Defense Logistics Agency purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The Norfolk, Virginia-based small business is a subsidiary of U.s. Pioneer, L.L.C., a HUBZone-certified parent company, and competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside protection—though a portion of its IDC vehicles carry total small business set-aside designations.

Comsaco's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely in single-award IDCs and delivery orders issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. Over the past several years, the vendor has delivered terminal boxes, junction boxes, rotary switches, fuse boxes, power transformers, lighting fixtures, connector assemblies, gaskets, and indicator lights to DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation. Representative work includes a $334,628 terminal-box purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025, 2,261 units to San Diego distribution), a $246,500 total small business set-aside terminal-box award (June 2025, 1,065 units), a $245,000 total small business set-aside jack-box contract (June 2025, 275 units), a $87,057 terminal-box delivery order for DLA Aviation (June 2025, 51 units), and a $74,990 first-article test award for a contractor qualification effort from DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025, total small business set-aside). Recent activity shows 16 awards in 2026 (as of mid-April), 85 in 2025, and 62 in 2024, trending up slightly after a decline from 187 awards in 2022 to 141 in 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 1,082 awards (52% of the footprint) worth $22.7 million in combined potential value, and DLA Aviation accounts for 596 awards (29%) worth $12.5 million. Together, the two DLA components represent 81% of award count and 85% of potential value. DLA's Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the parent Defense Logistics Agency agency round out the top five customers, but their combined share is modest. Comsaco holds at least 16 active single-award IDCs with DLA entities, each with $250,000 ceiling values, issued between late 2022 and March 2026. Eight awards with combined potential value of $487 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation vehicles.

Comsaco's product portfolio is heavily weighted to electrical components for naval logistics: terminal boxes (370 NAICS awards classified to All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment), lugs and terminal strips (417 awards), connectors (211 awards), switches (506 awards across multiple PSC 59 categories), transformers (120 awards), and lighting fixtures (112 awards). The vendor's capability set aligns precisely with recurring DLA supply-chain demand for standardized shipboard electrical parts. Award values range from under $1,000 for micro-purchases to over $550,000 for large volume terminal-box orders, with firm fixed-price delivery orders typically spanning 3–6 months.

In its subcontractor role, Comsaco supplies terminal boxes, indicator lights, brackets, enclosures, and fasteners to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on nuclear carrier (CVN 80/81), guided-missile destroyer (DDG 51 class), and amphibious assault ship (LHA 9) construction and advancement planning efforts. Sub awards to Huntington Ingalls span terminal boxes on DDG-135 and DDG-137, detail-design contributions for CVN-80/81 builder's-risk coverage, and engineering-support items for CVN-80. Comsaco also subcontracts to Electric Boat Corporation on submarine weapon-cradle fastener and design-load requirements and to Serco Inc. on USS Colorado (SSN 788) C4I hardware installation. The vendor's sub footprint is modest—37 awards (2% of total activity)—and all sub work flows to major naval shipbuilders rather than other tiers.

Comsaco competes entirely in full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles; it holds no positions on government-wide contracts, GWACs, or agency-wide blanket purchase agreements outside DLA's single-award IDCs. The vendor's market position depends on maintaining DLA relationships and winning recompete bids as existing IDCs expire. Activity has decelerated from 2022–2023 levels, though 2025 marked a partial recovery and 2026 is early. The company's established role as a critical supplier of standardized naval electrical components to the DoD supply chain, combined with its HUBZone-certified parent ownership and small-business status, positions it as a stable but narrowly focused vendor in the maritime equipment-supply ecosystem.
