Fromm Electric Supply Of Reading, Penna., LLC

Fromm Electric Supply Of Reading, Penna., LLC, doing business as Fromm, LLC, is a small business electrical components and hardware distributor operating exclusively as a prime contractor, supplying standardized commodities including circuit breakers, connectors, switches, relays, cable assemblies, lighting fixtures, and related electrical hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Navy. The company holds no SBA set-aside certifications and competes across both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside awards, with set-aside work comprising approximately 25 to 30 percent of recent orders by count.

Fromm is headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, and operates under NAICS codes reflecting electrical equipment manufacturing (Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing, Electronic Connector Manufacturing, Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing), with primary PSC focus on Circuit Breakers, Connectors Electrical, Electrical Hardware and Supplies, and Switches. The company maintains a subsidiary, Fromm Electric Supply Corp. Of Reading, Penna., and operates exclusively without subcontract activity — all federal work flows through Fromm as prime contractor.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA accounts for 99 percent of portfolio volume, split heavily between DLA Land and Maritime (5,041 awards, $47.4 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (1,790 awards, $23.1 million combined potential value). The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 157 awards totaling $8.6 million combined potential value, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents an additional 496 awards. The portfolio spans 7,673 total prime awards since 2009, with $82.8 million in combined potential value and $44.5 million obligated to date (54 percent).

Fromm holds five single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA components, each with a $350,000 ceiling: one with DLA Land and Maritime for electromagnet relays (March 3, 2026 through March 3, 2027, Total Small Business set-aside), one with DLA Land and Maritime for circuit breakers (May 19, 2026 through May 19, 2027, Total Small Business set-aside), one with DLA Aviation for cable assemblies and related items (May 18, 2026 through May 17, 2031, Total Small Business set-aside), one with DLA Land and Maritime for spring tension clips (April 7, 2026 through April 7, 2027, Total Small Business set-aside), and one with DLA Aviation for cable assemblies (June 15, 2026 through June 14, 2031, no set-aside). Recent representative work includes a $244,944 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in March 2026 for circuit breaker procurement, a $159,326 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in May 2026 for encoder shaft angle components under Total Small Business set-aside, a $66,277 DLA Aviation purchase order in July 2026 under Total Small Business set-aside for base and mounting electrical components, and a $59,973 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order in March 2026 for a controller. Individual orders range from under $1,000 to $50,000 with firm fixed-price, commercial-item procurement structures and 60-to-90-day completion cycles.

Activity has declined year over year, from 698 awards in 2022 to 252 in 2026 (annualized), reflecting a shift in portfolio composition toward fewer, higher-value orders and consolidation within DLA supply channels. Only six awards totaling $539 thousand in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint, no teaming relationships, and no participation in government-wide acquisition contracts, IDIQs, or BPAs outside its five single-award DLA indefinite-delivery vehicles. Fromm's competitive posture is characterized by deep specialization in standardized electrical commodity fulfillment to DLA depot consolidation points across CONUS and OCONUS locations, with performance concentrated in Reading and Allenwood, Pennsylvania.
