Dcx-Chol Enterprises, Inc.

Dcx-Chol Enterprises, Inc., doing business as Elecsys Division Of Dcx-Chol, manufactures specialized electronic components including cable assemblies, connectors, conduit assemblies, and related electrical products for the Department of Defense as a small business prime contractor. The Elecsys Division, headquartered in Pekin, Illinois, is a subsidiary of Los Angeles-based Dcx-Chol Enterprises, Inc., a Subchapter S corporation. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with approximately 40 percent of recent awards carrying small business set-aside designations across its prime footprint; the remaining awards are full-and-open competitions.

Dcx-Chol's customer concentration sits heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency's aviation and logistics divisions. The top five funding agencies account for 91 percent of awards by count and 81 percent of combined potential value. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates both metrics—902 awards valued at $43.9 million combined potential value—followed by DLA Land and Maritime (511 awards, $17.5 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (56 awards, $15.8 million), DLA unrestricted (114 awards, $1.5 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (41 awards, $1.8 million). The concentration on DLA Aviation reflects the vendor's core role as a component supplier for depot-level repair and military logistics programs across aviation systems. Naval Supply Systems Command's $15.8 million potential value anchors a significant multiple-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $9.66 million for submarine cable assemblies—a five-year IDIQ awarded May 13, 2024, with completion through May 12, 2029.

Representative prime work spans purchase orders and delivery orders for specialized components. Recent awards include a $543,000 Total Small Business definite contract from DLA Aviation (November 13, 2025) for nonmetallic conduits under NSN 5975003002371; a $217,600 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 16, 2024) for electrical connectors (NSN 5935016941500); a $3.0 million single-award IDIQ from DLA Aviation (July 17, 2025) for Test Sets, Blasting Caps (National Stock Number 4925-009993454) with a five-year performance period through July 16, 2030; and a $180,000 cable assembly order from DLA Aviation (February 13, 2026) for NSN 5995014163979. The vendor holds six additional single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and one with Army Materiel Command, with ceilings ranging from $24,000 to $250,000, all set aside for total small business.

Elecsys operates as 99 percent prime contractor across its award footprint (1,763 prime awards versus 12 sub-awards). Activity has been steady but moderately declining in recent years—83 awards in 2022 declining to 30 awards in 2026 (first four months). Sixty-three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.7 million, presenting recompete exposure on mid-sized task order vehicles. The vendor subcontracts to Raytheon Company on CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) production work, including cable assemblies, harnesses, tubing fabrication, and connector supply for Patriot system procurements (awards March 2026, June 2024). Dcx-Chol also supplies long-lead aerospace commodities as a Boeing subcontractor on CH-47F helicopter procurement (August 2025).

The vendor's top named parent IDV vehicles are DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime single-award contracts, with the largest recent IDIQ ceiling being the $3.0 million Naval Supply Systems Command submarine cable assembly contract. Task order activity across the top five parent vehicles totals approximately 53 task orders valued at $2.7 million combined potential, indicating steady drawdowns against established IDVs. The vendor's product portfolio centers on defense-grade electronic connectors (499 awards), electrical hardware and supplies (478 awards), miscellaneous electrical equipment components (450 awards), cable and cord assemblies (228 awards), and aircraft parts (76 awards). Primary NAICS categories are Electronic Connector Manufacturing (334417), All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (335999), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419); primary PSC is 4610 (Connectors, Electrical).

Dcx-Chol's Elecsys Division performs nearly all work in Pekin, Illinois, with administrative oversight at the Los Angeles parent office. The company maintains AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality certifications. As a small business manufacturer, the vendor's set-aside posture spans Total Small Business designations on most IDVs and roughly 40 percent of purchase orders; the remaining orders compete full-and-open. The vendor's subcontracting footprint to major primes (Raytheon, Boeing) reflects its role as a component supplier within the larger defense industrial base, supplementing its primary role as a DLA-facing supplier of logistics and repair parts.
