Heale Manufacturing Co LLC

Heale Manufacturing Co LLC is a small business ISO-certified manufacturer of electrical components and assemblies that operates as a prime contractor supplying cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, switch assemblies, circuit breaker boxes, and electrical leads to the Defense Logistics Agency. The company competes almost exclusively full-and-open (114 of 115 awards carry no set-aside designation), though a small number of recent awards fall under Total Small Business set-asides. Heale is a for-profit limited liability corporation based in Vernon, Wisconsin, operating under NAICS codes dominated by Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (84 awards) and Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (7 awards), with primary PSC coding in Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (61 awards) and Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (17 awards).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-vendor: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 76 awards valued at $1.3 million combined potential value, and DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 37 awards valued at $687 thousand combined potential value. These two DLA organizations represent 100% of Heale's customer base across 115 awards. The third customer, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, has placed only 2 awards totaling $111 thousand.

Heale holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation. The most recent, awarded February 20, 2026, carries a $350 thousand ceiling for cable assemblies (NSN 5995006791425) and runs through February 19, 2027. An earlier $250 thousand single-award IDC awarded September 20, 2022, covers cable assemblies, switch assemblies, and circuit breaker boxes and runs through September 19, 2027; delivery orders against this vehicle have ranged from $6,187 to $13,089 per order. A second $250 thousand IDC with DLA Land and Maritime carries parallel scope. The top named vehicle in the source carries 9 task orders valued at $104 thousand combined. Heale's IDV work is issued as delivery orders and purchase orders against these three standing contracts rather than through government-wide vehicles.

Recent work representative of the portfolio includes a $7,001 purchase order from DLA Aviation awarded May 4, 2026, for cable assembly components with performance in Vernon; a $16,344 delivery order from DLA Aviation awarded November 18, 2025, for cable assemblies and thermal items; an $87,018 purchase order from DLA Aviation awarded August 11, 2022, for wiring harnesses; and a $31,267 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime awarded February 2, 2023, for a wiring harness. Awards range from under $250 to approximately $87 thousand, with most falling in the $5,000 to $15,000 range.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor earned 26 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 5 in 2024, and only 2 each in 2025 and 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across the 115 awards is $2.1 million with $906 thousand obligated (43% realization rate). The recompete cliff shows minimal near-term exposure: only 1 award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carries potential value of $7 thousand.

Heale's subcontractor footprint consists of a single sub-award as of the source date: a September 5, 2024, electrical lead assembly material sub-order under BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. The vendor operates almost entirely as a prime supplier to DLA rather than as a sub on larger defense integration programs. Place of performance concentrates at the vendor's Vernon, Wisconsin facility and at DLA consolidation points for shipment, with some awards specifying multiple CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots as delivery destinations.
