Electro-Line Inc.

Electro-Line Inc., a for-profit small business manufacturer of electronic components and electrical equipment headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, supplies military-grade switches, connectors, electrical protectors, and specialized hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with all performance at its own Dayton facility and no subcontracting footprint.

The company competes full-and-open on the vast majority of awards; across its recent portfolio, only a subset of purchase orders and two newly awarded indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. Electro-Line's customer concentration is extreme: the DLA accounts for 97% of awards and combined potential value, with the DLA Land and Maritime division alone representing 3,995 awards valued at $23.5 million and the DLA Aviation division responsible for 673 awards valued at $3.7 million. The remaining customer agencies (Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment, Troop Support Hardware, and other minor DLA sub-offices) together account for less than 3% of the footprint. This monolithic dependence on a single contracting office defines Electro-Line's competitive posture and supply-chain role entirely.

Electro-Line's work is characterized by high-velocity, low-to-moderate-value transactional procurement: rotary switches dominate the PSC-level profile (2,256 awards), followed by electrical connectors (1,120 awards), miscellaneous electrical and electronic components (452 awards), resistors (257 awards), and electrical hardware and supplies (220 awards). Recent representative work includes a $47.8 thousand purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for pressure switches (May 2026), a $68 thousand order for dummy connectors (December 2025), a $61.7 thousand order for rotary switches (September 2025), a $54 thousand order for connector receptacles (June 2025), and a $57.2 thousand order for switch subassemblies (February 2026). The company also holds two newly awarded single-award indefinite delivery contracts, each valued at $350,000 and designated as Total Small Business set-asides, for rotary switches (NSNs 5930005839919 and 5930005783109), with ultimate completion dates of January 27, 2027. These contracts replace or refresh two prior $250,000 IDCs that appear to have expired or completed.

Activity declined year over year from 375 awards in 2022 to 51 in the first half of 2026, and the combined obligated dollars ($33.2 million) exceed combined potential value ($28.9 million), reflecting a backlog of fulfilled orders. Nine awards carrying combined potential value of $87,000 face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure concentrated in routine electrical component procurement. The vendor's NAICS profile is dominated by Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (1,775 awards) and Electronic Connector Manufacturing (802 awards), reflecting its core business as a fabricator of defense-critical replacement and repair parts serving the military equipment maintenance and logistics sustainment mission of the Department of Defense. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since May 2001 and has no documented federal grant or subcontractor relationships; it operates exclusively as a direct supplier to DLA purchase orders and indefinite delivery vehicles.
