Contact Industries Inc.

Contact Industries Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of electrical components headquartered in Lexington, Ohio, supplies magnetic contactors, electrical contacts, input contactors, and related electrical switching and control devices to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 289 firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open competition—recent awards carry no set-aside designation, though the vendor holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, four or six of which carry total small business set-aside designations at the IDC level—and does not appear on any multi-award GWACs or government-wide vehicles outside its DLA IDC portfolio.

Contact Industries' customer concentration is extreme and narrow. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 183 awards and $5.2 million in combined potential value (79% of the total portfolio), followed distantly by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation with 67 awards and $815 thousand. Combined, DLA accounts for approximately 97% of award count and 91% of combined potential value, with residual exposure to Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command and Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command. The vendor's top five parent vehicles are all single-award DLA IDCs valued at $250,000 each: Indefinite Delivery Contract SP043004D0860 carries 16 task orders, SP043004D1104 carries 12 task orders, SPM43004D1583 carries 11 task orders, SPM4M107D3035 carries 10 task orders (combined potential $182 thousand), and SPE7M124D60CJ carries 8 task orders. Work performed under these vehicles consists entirely of firm fixed-price delivery orders for magnetic contactors and electrical contact products, with individual order values ranging from under $500 to approximately $43,700. Recent activity shows decline from 24 awards in 2022 to just one award year-to-date in 2026, reflecting either a reduction in DLA ordering velocity or a shift in Contact Industries' competitive standing within the DLA supply chain.

The vendor's capability footprint is highly specialized. Contact Industries manufactures magnetic contactors, electrical contacts, input contactors, and related electrical switching devices used in military vehicle, vessel, aircraft, and weapons-system maintenance and sustainment. Representatively, the vendor has received a $20,701.92 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (Oct 20, 2025) for magnetic contactors, a $43,773.28 purchase order for electrical contacts (Dec 19, 2024), and a $13,047.90 purchase order for magnetic contactors (Aug 18, 2025). NAICS concentration reflects this focus: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing accounts for 156 awards, Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing accounts for 41, and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing accounts for 28. Primary Standard Industrial Classification is Electrical Control Equipment (250 awards), with smaller shares of Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components and Relays and Solenoids.

Combined potential value across all 289 awards totals $6.6 million, with $4 million (60%) obligated as of the snapshot date. Activity has trended downward—from 24 awards in 2022 to 7 in 2025 to 1 award in the first quarter of 2026—suggesting either a recompete loss, reduced DLA demand, or a shift in Contact Industries' competitive positioning within DLA's electrical-component supply chain. The vendor holds no federal contract vehicles beyond its seven DLA IDCs and maintains 100% prime positioning with zero subcontract volume.
