Genuine Cable Group, LLC

Genuine Cable Group, LLC, operating as Seacoast Electric, is a for-profit subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company that supplies electrical power cables, fiber optic cables, special-purpose cables, and related cable assemblies to the federal government as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively in the open market with no set-aside designations across 399 recent awards spanning prime contracts (83%) and subcontracts (17%), with headquarters in Chesapeake, Virginia and performance consolidated at that single location.

Seacoast Electric's federal footprint centers on electrical and communications cable supply. Representative recent work includes a $443,025 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command on July 7, 2025, for MK38 MOD 4 cables and electrical components; a $143,880 Defense Logistics Agency order on August 22, 2024, for 44,000 feet of radio frequency cable; and a $164,956 DLA Aviation contract on September 28, 2023, for cable assemblies (NSN 5995016526047). The vendor holds a primary NAICS posture split across wire and cable manufacturing categories—Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (62 awards), Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (52 awards), and Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (46 awards)—with PSC coding dominated by Wire and Cable, Electrical (193 awards) and Fiber Optic Cables (35 awards).

Customer concentration is extreme and focused on the defense industrial base. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 196 awards (88% of combined potential value at $2.8 million), followed distantly by Naval Sea Systems Command (68 awards, $761 thousand combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (28 awards, $491 thousand combined potential value). These three customers represent the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal footprint. Seacoast Electric's engagement with DLA is transactional—routine purchase orders for standard and specialized cable products to replenish military warehouses and distribution centers—with no long-term vehicles anchoring the relationship; DLA Land and Maritime orders range from several hundred dollars to over $450,000 per award, with most clustering in the low five figures.

The vendor maintains minimal vehicle presence. Five parent vehicles carry task order activity: SPAWAR Afloat C4ISR Installations 2019 (11 task orders), an indefinite-delivery contract N0018906A0102 (6 task orders, $28 thousand combined potential value), One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (4 task orders), Engineering and Support Services for Hull, Mechanical and Electrical Systems (4 task orders), and Seaport Next Generation (3 task orders). The vendor's prime footprint is driven by direct DLA and Navy purchase orders rather than seat position on broad government-wide or agency-wide vehicles.

Activity has grown sharply in recent years—from three awards in 2022 to 104 in 2024—but declined to 70 awards in 2025 and only eight awards through May 2026, suggesting potential pipeline contraction or data lag. Eight awards (combined potential value $298 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure given the routine, transaction-based nature of the cable-supply business.

As a subcontractor, Seacoast Electric supplies cable and wire products to major naval and defense integration primes including Huntington Ingalls Inc. (CVN 80 carrier construction and engineering efforts; multiple awards from 2025 through early 2026), General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. (NAWCAD Wolf Ship and Air C5ISR Systems Support task orders; multiple 2025 awards), Leidos Inc. (undersea warfare combat systems product support and related cable assemblies; 2024 and 2025 awards), VT Milcom Inc. (electrical supplies for USS Carney; 2024 awards), and Textron Systems Corp. (LCAC 100-class craft long-lead time material; 2025 awards). Subcontract work reflects the vendor's core electrical cable competency applied to naval shipbuilding, carrier modernization, and combat systems installation programs.

Seacoast Electric operates as a subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company, a larger for-profit corporate parent headquartered in Marietta, Georgia with automotive and industrial distribution businesses. The subsidiary's federal contracting posture is narrowly specialized—cable supply to defense logistics and naval operations, with minimal exposure to civilian agencies, IT services, or non-hardware procurements. The vendor's competitive advantage rests on commodity cable supply and reliable delivery to DLA and Navy purchasing systems rather than on technical differentiation, set-aside leverage, or prime contract vehicle placement.
