Newvac, LLC

Newvac, LLC, doing business as Newvac Division, is a small business manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components based in Chatsworth, California, competing as a prime contractor (96% of awards) across full-and-open and total small business set-aside federal procurements for the Department of Defense. Newvac is a child entity of AAR Supply Chain, Inc., and specializes in manufacturing cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, connectors, receptacles, and related defense electronic components for military aircraft, naval systems, and logistics platforms. The company's recent federal work spans 639 awards with combined potential value of $118 million, obligated at $108.3 million.

Newvac's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward naval and aviation logistics. The top five funding agencies account for 93% of recent awards by count. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command leads by volume (200 awards, $33.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (181 awards, $10.4 million), the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (155 awards, $4 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (40 awards, $62.7 million), and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (21 awards, $2 million). The potential-value ranking diverges: Naval Sea Systems Command dominates dollars despite lower award count, anchored by a $50.9 million Mark 41 Vertical Launching System cable set contract awarded September 2022 with completion through November 2028, a $3.77 million SWA5 cable receptacle assembly contract (May 2023 through December 2027), and a $3.03 million CWFP cable assembly contract under total small business set-aside (May 2024 through December 2026). NAVSUP's $33.9 million portfolio includes a $2.61 million CWLD cable receptacle connector assembly contract (May 2023 through December 2027) and a $1.92 million CWFP cable assembly contract (December 2022 through July 2025).

Activity has trended downward from 54 awards in 2023 to 34 in 2025, with 13 awards year-to-date in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 23 awards carrying $14.9 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion, creating recompete exposure. Top parent vehicles include a Basic Ordering Agreement (N0010411GA101) with 41 task orders worth $1.4 million, five agency IDCs with six to seven task orders each ranging from $80 thousand to $208 thousand in combined potential value. Newvac's set-aside posture skews toward total small business designations on higher-dollar contracts, with full-and-open competition used for smaller purchase orders and delivery orders.

The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on military-grade cable assemblies and electronic interconnect components. Representative prime work includes a $235 thousand electronic connector purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (December 2025), a $260 thousand definitive contract for CWLE receptacle connector assemblies from Naval Sea Systems Command (October 2024), a $233 thousand Mine Neutralization System cable assembly contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (July 2024 under sole source), a $665 thousand wiring harness order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (September 2024 under total small business set-aside), and recurring delivery orders under a $250 thousand Defense Logistics Agency Aviation indefinite delivery contract (renewed November 2024, five-year term through November 2029). Product Service Code concentration is highest in miscellaneous electric power and distribution equipment (236 awards), electrical connectors (150 awards), and cable/cord/wire assemblies (127 awards). NAICS spread across power and distribution transformer manufacturing, electronic connector manufacturing, and other electronic component manufacturing reflects a diversified but tightly focused electronic components portfolio.

Newvac operates as a subcontractor on defense prime work, with recent subs to Lockheed Martin Corporation (F-35 long-lead cable assemblies, Hellfire II and Air-to-Ground Missile System cable and harness assemblies), BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (F-16 support equipment), Science Applications International Corporation (MK 48 Mod 7 torpedo receptacle connector assemblies), General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. (Mark 41 VLS engineering and component upgrade services), and Derco Aerospace (aircraft spares manufacturing).
