Flame Enterprises, Inc.

Flame Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Flame Enterprises Inc.), a for-profit small business based in Chatsworth, California, manufactures and distributes electrical components and precision hardware — electromagnetic relays, switches, circuit breakers, time totalizing meters, connectors, and fault location indicators — primarily as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, with recurring subcontract work to major defense primes. The company competes predominantly on the open market through single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA, though some awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

Flame Enterprises' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in DLA operations. The top five customer agencies by both award count and potential value account for 94% of recent awards, with DLA Land and Maritime commanding the dominant share at 6,416 awards ($97 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation accounting for 571 awards ($9.2 million). The remaining customers—the DLA parent organization, Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command, and the Coast Guard—represent single-digit percentages. Across the past five years, award volume has ranged from 155 to 239 per year, with 2026 activity tracking at 55 awards year-to-date. The company has generated approximately $99.2 million in obligated dollars across 7,658 total awards (64% of the combined $154.6 million potential value).

Flame Enterprises holds multiple single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each carrying $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings. Recent IDV vehicles include a $350,000 no-set-aside contract awarded June 16, 2026 (NSN 6625010819114, fault location indicators); a $350,000 Total Small Business contract awarded March 24, 2026 (NSN 5935006860447, electronic connectors); and a $350,000 no-set-aside contract awarded December 15, 2025 (NSN 5945000636265, electromagnet relays). Task orders issued against these vehicles have historically ranged from $2,125 to $790,044, with most falling between $5,000 and $50,000. Recent representative prime awards include a $215,546 Total Small Business delivery order from DLA Aviation on December 15, 2025 for time totalizing meters (27 units to Cherry Point), a $394,506 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on October 30, 2025 for electromagnetic relays, and a $790,044 purchase order from DLA Aviation on November 14, 2025 for 107 time totalizing meters (NSN 6645013239411).

The company maintains material subcontract relationships with major defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Boeing, L3Harris Technologies, Sikorsky Aircraft, Bell Textron, and Honeywell. Recent sub-awards span aircraft production and sustainment: Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift program materials, June 2025), Boeing (F-15EX and B-52 radar modernization common aerospace commodities, April–May 2025), Raytheon (CIWS and Patriot production switches and relays, June–November 2025), Sikorsky (Black Hawk helicopter parts, March 2025), and L3Harris (BIG SAFARI component manufacturing, May–September 2025). Subcontract work represents 2% of the recent award count (125 of 7,658 awards) but anchors higher-value engagements in military aviation and missile system programs.

By NAICS, the portfolio concentrates in relay and industrial control manufacturing (1,734 awards), switchgear and switchboard manufacturing (1,228 awards), and other electronic component manufacturing (1,091 awards). By PSC code, relays and solenoids dominate (2,829 awards), followed by switches (1,853) and circuit breakers (1,711). Flame Enterprises registered with SAM.gov in June 2001 and has maintained continuous federal contracting activity with DLA for over two decades. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The company's established position as DLA's dedicated single-award supplier for specialized electrical components, coupled with its subcontract credentials across major defense platforms, positions it as a critical node in the military supply chain for rapid procurement of precision electrical hardware supporting aircraft, vehicle, and weapons system maintenance and repair.
