Federal Custom Cable, LLC

Federal Custom Cable, LLC Federal Custom Cable Division, doing business as Federal Custom Cable LLC, manufactures and supplies electrical connectors, cable assemblies, antenna equipment, radio frequency cabling, and related electrical components to the Defense Logistics Agency and the broader Department of Defense as a woman-owned small business prime contractor. The Irvine, California-based company holds SBA certification as a woman-owned small business and competes predominantly on full-and-open procurements, though it also wins work under total small business set-asides and woman-owned small business set-asides.

Federal Custom Cable's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward a single buyer. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 610 of 729 total awards (84% of recent activity) and $38.9 million of the combined $40.4 million potential value across all awards—nearly 96% of the vendor's total pipeline. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command is a distant second with 47 awards and $1.1 million combined potential value. The DLA Aviation division, the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and the United States Marine Corps round out the customer set but contribute less than one percent each to total dollar value.

Concrete recent work illustrates the vendor's core capability. A $177,940 March 2026 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order calls for 62,000 feet of qualified radio frequency cable meeting military specifications (NSN 6145005422773) with delivery in 150 days. A $131,964 October 2025 delivery order procures antenna equipment under an existing indefinite delivery contract. A $96,921 December 2025 special-purpose-cable purchase order (total small business set-aside) requires 9,900 feet of cable (NSN 6145015091473) to a DLA distribution facility in Irvine. A $62,300 November 2025 award supplies 89 antenna group units (NSN 5985014854672) under total small business set-aside designation. Multiple smaller orders for electrical wire, connectors, connector receptacles, and cable assemblies flow continuously through the contract portfolio—typical order values range from $1,300 to $40,000. Collectively these awards represent task orders drawn against a series of indefinite delivery vehicles, most notably a primary $1.96 million DLA Land and Maritime IDC (SPE7MX22D0099) running through August 2026 covering antenna equipment, RF cabling, power cables, and specialized cabling.

Federal Custom Cable holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime across the source data. The largest, SPE7MX15D0139, has generated 24 task orders worth $3 million in combined potential value. Three newer single-award IDCs—each ceiling $350,000—were awarded in December 2025, January 2026, and March 2026 for connector body plugs (woman-owned small business set-aside), antenna groups (total small business set-aside), and connector plugs (total small business set-aside), respectively. Seaport Next Generation brought 12 task orders, and SPE7MX20D0104 generated 12 orders worth $1.1 million. The vendor's reliance on DLA vehicles is nearly complete; other agencies contribute negligible dollar volume and order count.

Activity has grown steadily year over year: 67 awards in 2022, 103 in 2023, 158 in 2024, and 162 in 2025, with 47 awards in the first five months of 2026. Only one award in the vendor's portfolio faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $178 thousand in combined potential value—a minimal recompete exposure compared to the overall pipeline.

As a subcontractor, Federal Custom Cable supplies build-to-print cable assemblies and electrical components to Science Applications International Corporation on multiple defense platforms. Documented sub awards span the Modern Vehicle Fielding (MVF) integration and fielding support program, the MADIS (Mounted Area Defense System) full-rate production effort, the SUSV C3 (Situational Understanding System Vehicle) production and platform integration effort, and production support for the CEG (Close-in Explosive Ordnance Disposal) metal and cable fabrication line. These sub awards, dated August 2025 through May 2026, position Federal Custom Cable as a cable and connector supplier within SAIC's defense vehicle and platform-integration work stream.

Federal Custom Cable's footprint is tightly concentrated: a single agency (DLA Land and Maritime) accounts for 96% of potential value, a single prime (SAIC) accounts for all visible subcontract work, and a single product category (wire and cable, electrical) accounts for 411 of 729 awards. The vendor competes through established indefinite delivery vehicles rather than pursuing new contract vehicles or competing for work outside the DLA ecosystem. Firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders dominate the award structure, reflecting transactional, component-supply work rather than system integration or professional services.
