Connectec Company, Inc.

Connectec Company, Inc., doing business as Connectec Co Inc., manufactures aerospace and defense electrical, mechanical, and structural components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 3,198 awards spanning small component parts through multi-million-dollar contracts. The Irvine, California-based small business competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with over 60% of its recent awards designated for set-aside protection, though it also wins full-and-open competitive awards. Connectec is not a participant in federal grant programs and maintains a single sub-award relationship as a lower-tier subcontractor.

Connectec's capability footprint centers on manufacturing specialized military components: electrical connectors and cable assemblies; gun parts including breach locks, feed mechanism covers, and mortar mounts; power distribution units; wiring harnesses; recoil systems and related ordnance equipment; and fastening components such as pins, springs, and retaining clips. Representative prime work includes a $4.9 million delivery order from Army Contracting Command Warren in April 2026 for 245 switch assemblies (NSN 5930-01-702-8016); a $32.1 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Department of the Army in May 2024 for 120mm cannon components under the Cornerstone OTA program; a $2.76 million definitive contract from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command in September 2025 for mortar mounts under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $1.55 million definitive contract from TACOM in March 2025 for branched wiring harnesses. The company also executes recurring task orders across defense agencies ranging from sub-$5,000 to over $600,000 in value.

Customer concentration reflects deep penetration within Army supply chains. The top five customers account for 76% of award count. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by volume with 876 awards ($48.1 million), followed by TACOM Life Cycle Management Command with 718 awards ($81.1 million), and DLA Aviation with 456 awards ($46.9 million). By potential value, however, the ranking shifts: Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal anchors the portfolio with 214 awards worth $172.2 million combined, followed by Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition with 42 awards at $142.9 million, and TACOM at $81.1 million. This divergence signals that while DLA places numerous smaller task orders, Army ammunition and materiel commands drive the largest individual contract values.

Connectec holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts as parent vehicles. The top vehicle is a $72.7 million IDC (W15QKN16D0055) with 65 task orders; the source documentation does not specify the contracting agency for this vehicle. Other active IDCs include a $10.33 million single-award contract with ACC Warren for switch subassemblies (through July 2030), a $3.7 million DLA Land and Maritime IDC for M240 machine gun feed mechanism covers (through February 2030), and several smaller $250,000–$458,000 ceiling vehicles with DLA Aviation and Army commands. These vehicles enable the government to issue delivery orders and purchase orders on an as-needed basis.

Activity has remained stable year over year—115 awards in 2022, declining to 103 in 2024, then rising to 115 in 2025—with 24 awards recorded in the first quarter of 2026. The company faces 44 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing $53.6 million in combined potential value and therefore recompete opportunity. Connectec's manufacturing focus places it squarely in ordnance and connector NAICS categories: Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing accounts for 545 awards; Electronic Connector Manufacturing for 364 awards. PSC coding shows 478 awards under Connectors, Electrical; 299 under Guns, Through 30MM; and 282 under Guns, 75MM Through 125MM.

Connectec subcontracts minimally in the federal space. The source documents only one sub-award: a July 2024 order as a lower-tier supplier to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for a 60MM mount component. The company's federal posture is overwhelmingly prime-centric, reflecting its role as a direct supplier to Army and DLA procurement offices rather than as a subcontractor supporting larger primes. Connectec has been registered in the System for Award Management since September 2001, positioning it as an established supplier with over two decades of federal contracting history.
