Erra-Mil Components Inc.

Erra-Mil Components Inc., a Chicago-based woman-owned small disadvantaged business, supplies precision electronic and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing on an unrestricted basis across purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts with no reliance on set-aside designations despite holding small-business certifications.

Erra-Mil operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of 123 awards) and manufactures discrete component parts rather than providing services. The company specializes in saturable reactors, power transformers, control assemblies, springs, latches, rings, switches, and support hardware—all items listed under Electronic Connector Manufacturing (NAICS 334417) and Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (NAICS 334416). Representative recent work includes a $67,114.65 delivery order for saturable reactors placed against a DLA Land and Maritime IDC in August 2024, a $22,371.55 saturable reactor delivery order placed in August 2024, a $31,320.17 saturable reactor delivery order from January 2024, and a $13,341.34 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for a power transformer awarded in December 2024 by DLA Land and Maritime. All work is performed in-house at Erra-Mil's Chicago facility with no subcontract footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-customer dependent. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 87 awards (71% of total awards) and $2.2 million in combined potential value (88% of the portfolio), followed distantly by DLA Aviation with 23 awards and $233 thousand in potential value. DLA Troop Support Hardware and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment together comprise 13 awards and $39 thousand. The vendor has no work outside the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem and no exposure to civilian agencies, service branches, or defense primes.

Erra-Mil holds three active indefinite delivery contracts, all with DLA Land and Maritime. The most recent IDC (SPE7M123D60AL, awarded October 31, 2024, ceiling $250,000, running through October 31, 2025) is a Total Small Business set-aside for saturable reactors; it anticipates 3 to 10 delivery orders annually with a guaranteed minimum of one. Two prior IDCs (SPE7M524D60AZ and SPE7M521D60BB) carried $250,000 ceilings each and are now expired or expiring (November 2024 and November 2023 respectively). Historical delivery orders under these contracts ranged from approximately $8,000 to $67,000, reflecting discrete, mission-critical procurement. Of the 123 total awards, delivery orders against the three IDCs account for 14 orders, with the remaining 109 awards classified as purchase orders placed directly against DLA standing requisitions.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor recorded 16 awards per year in 2022 and 2023, 10 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026 (most recent award March 11, 2026). Combined potential value across the entire 123-award portfolio stands at $2.5 million, with $1.5 million (59%) obligated. Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $8 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but also suggesting a flattened procurement profile. The vendor has held awards dating to November 2008, establishing longevity as a DLA supplier, but recent activity suggests either saturation of DLA component demand or competitive pressure in Erra-Mil's narrow parts categories. The company competes unrestricted on full-and-open basis despite holding woman-owned small disadvantaged business certifications; the single Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from December 2024 is the sole exception in the recent sample.
