About G & W Electric Co
G & W Electric Co, doing business as G & W Electric Specialty Co, manufactures high-voltage electrical switchgear, switchboards, and specialized electrical equipment for federal agencies as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open with no set-aside designations across most of its federal footprint. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, classified as a small business under NAICS 333613 (Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing) and NAICS 333612 (Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing), with a secondary merchant-wholesaler presence in electrical supplies.
G & W Electric's customer base is fragmented across thirteen distinct federal agencies, with modest concentration at the top tier. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command leads by potential value (2 awards, $192 thousand combined), followed by GSA's Public Buildings Service National Capital Region and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (each $87 thousand), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (4 awards, $85 thousand combined potential value). No single customer dominates the portfolio — the top five customers account for 62% of combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $96.1 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Mobility Command (awarded September 2024, ultimate completion June 2025) for a 15 kilovolt high-voltage switch replacement at Joint Base Charleston, North Carolina; a $47.9 thousand purchase order from VA VISN 6 (awarded April 2026) for emergency electrical switch replacement in Bolingbrook, Illinois; and a $21.6 thousand purchase order from VA VISN 6 (awarded September 2023) for electrical shop training and systems updates at Salisbury, North Carolina.
G & W Electric's federal footprint consists almost entirely of small purchase orders and task orders under indefinite delivery contracts (SPE8E324D0007, F3360182C0194, F3360188C0044), with no major IDIQs or GWACs in the recent active set. The vendor carries minimal recent activity — one award in 2026, one in 2025, and four in 2024 — but a long historical presence in federal sales dating to 1982. Combined potential value across all awards totals $784 thousand against $1.1 million in obligated dollars, indicating contract overruns or subsequent modifications. G & W Electric subcontracts minimally (2 sub awards, 7% of total), with recent work as a sub to Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics on two task orders (July 2024) supplying 15 kilovolt, 95 kilovolt BIL solid dielectric switches. The vendor's capability footprint is sharply defined: switchgear manufacturing and high-voltage switch supply and installation dominate the award portfolio, with secondary work in electrical wiring devices and power distribution equipment.
