Hose-Mccann Telephone Co, Inc.

Hose-Mccann Telephone Co, Inc., doing business as Hose-Mccann Communications, a woman-owned small business headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, manufactures and supplies communication equipment and electrical components to federal defense and maritime agencies as a prime contractor on over 2,350 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open across the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) customer base, with modest recourse to total small business set-asides on a subset of awards; it maintains a subsidiary, United Marine Communications Of Florida, Inc., also woman-owned small business designated.

Hose-Mccann's capability portfolio centers on loudspeakers, microphones, electrical bells, telephone systems, circuit card assemblies, handsets, amplifiers, and related audio and signaling components for shipboard public address and general alarm systems, vessel telephone networks, and maritime communication infrastructure. Representative work includes a $663,075 DLA Aviation purchase order (February 2025) for 315 station-to-station phone line components; a $419,775 DLA Aviation order (November 2025) for B-B phone and distance line components; a $212,250 DLA Land and Maritime procurement (December 2025) for electroacoustic loudspeakers; and a $99,398.50 Naval Sea Systems Command sole-source purchase order (August 2025) for USS Oakland integrated voice communication system technical support, justified on original equipment manufacturer status and proprietary IVCS expertise. The vendor also performs circuit card assembly repair work (Coast Guard and Navy Supply Systems Command orders) and ship repair support under prime shipbuilders on Navy auxiliary vessel construction programs.

Customer concentration is acute: the top five agencies by award count represent 79% of all awards and 91% of combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime dominates, with 801 awards valued at $20.1 million; DLA Aviation follows with 350 awards at $13.9 million. Military Sealift Command (210 awards, $4.3 million), the Coast Guard (222 awards, $4.2 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (302 awards, $3.8 million) round out the active set. This concentration reflects Hose-Mccann's positioning as a specialized supplier of communication components to defense logistics and maritime operations rather than broader DoD prime work.

Hose-Mccann holds seven active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, each carrying $350,000 ceilings and total small business set-aside designations, across Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions for loudspeaker-microphones, dynamic microphones, electrical bells, electro loudspeakers, and station-to-station phone lines. These IDCs, most awarded between December 2025 and May 2026 with one-year performance periods, enable task order issuance without rebid and anchor the vendor's recurring revenue stream. Award activity has declined moderately: 149 awards in 2022 fell to 125 in 2023, recovered to 169 in 2024, settled to 141 in 2025, and run at 60 through September 2026 (partial year snapshot). Combined potential value across all 2,395 awards totals $50.7 million, though obligated dollars reach $56.1 million, indicating prior-year execution exceeds current pipeline visibility.

The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (98% of awards). Subcontract exposure is minimal: six sub-awards to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company for detail design and construction work on the T-AO 205 fleet replenishment oiler; two awards to East Coast Repair & Fabrication for USNS Hershel Woody Williams ship repair labor and material; and one to Vigor Marine for USNS Earl Warren post-shakedown availability dial telephone work. These subs position Hose-Mccann as a component supplier on large-scale naval construction and maintenance, not a systems integrator. SCI-reportable service contract activity is negligible: one FY2025 record shows 0.1 FTEs as a named subcontractor, indicating the vendor's federal footprint is dominated by goods procurement (loudspeakers, bells, microphones) rather than labor-intensive services.

Product concentration by PSC and NAICS reflects a narrow, deep capability set: miscellaneous alarm, signal, and security detection systems (500 awards); headsets, handsets, microphones, and speakers (468 awards); telephone and telegraph equipment (251 awards); and miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (220 awards). Audio and video equipment manufacturing, telephone apparatus manufacturing, and other communications equipment manufacturing account for over 1,000 awards combined. This specialization in repetitive, qualified-products-list components for military vessel systems and DLA supply chains insulates Hose-Mccann from broader IT or systems competition but ties profitability to volume, set-aside access, and DLA procurement cycles. Ten awards totaling $561 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure across the IDC portfolio and individual purchase orders.
