Hose-Mccann Telephone Co, Inc.

Hose-Mccann Telephone Co, Inc., doing business as Hose-Mccann Communications, is a woman-owned small business manufacturer of communication systems and components for federal defense and maritime agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 2,336 awards (98% of its recent portfolio) under total small business and full-and-open set-asides. The company, headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, specializes in electrical bells, loudspeakers, microphones, handsets, circuit card assemblies, telephone equipment, amplifiers, and related electronic components for military vessels and federal logistics operations, with secondary representation through its subsidiary United Marine Communications of Florida, Inc.

Hose-Mccann's customer base concentrates heavily on Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by volume and dollars (792 awards, $19.4 million combined potential value), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (346 awards, $13.5 million). These two DLA divisions account for roughly 48% of awards and 67% of combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (209 awards, $4.2 million), Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (218 awards, $4 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Construction and Equipment (301 awards, $3.8 million) round out the top five, together covering 91% of combined potential value across all customers. The vendor's customer footprint spans 23 agencies, but DLA dominance—particularly through Land and Maritime and Aviation—is characteristic of the award portfolio.

Hose-Mccann holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA divisions, each valued at $350,000 with annual contract periods. Recent IDCs awarded include contracts for dynamic microphones (Land and Maritime, March 2026), electrical bells (Aviation, January 2026), electro loudspeakers (Land and Maritime, December 2025), communication systems and components (Aviation, December 2025), electrical bells (Land and Maritime, November 2025), and electrical equipment components (Land and Maritime, November 2025). These vehicles enable task order issuance without separate competitive procurements. Beyond IDCs, the vendor places orders under various Defense Logistics Agency purchase order and delivery order vehicles, with top vehicles (by task order count) including IDC SPE4A619D0182 (17 task orders, $351 thousand), SPE4A618D5496 (14 task orders, $249 thousand), and SPE4A614D0290 (10 task orders, $238 thousand).

Recent prime work exemplifies the vendor's core capability portfolio. Representative awards include a $663,075 delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 2025) for 315 units of station-to-station phone line components; a $419,775 delivery order from DLA Aviation (November 2025) for B-B phone and distance line electronic components; a $212,250 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2025) for 75 units of electroacoustic loudspeakers; and a $99,398.50 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (August 2025) for USS Oakland Integrated Voice Communications System technical support services, awarded on a sole-source basis as the original equipment manufacturer. Smaller, recurring orders for electrical bells, loudspeaker horns, microphones, handsets, and related components dominate the portfolio, reflecting DLA's fragmented procurement of communication equipment across multiple Defense Logistics Agency depots.

Award concentration and trajectory show steady activity without sharp growth. The vendor recorded 149 awards in 2022, declining to 125 in 2023, rebounding to 169 in 2024, then 141 in 2025, with 37 awards so far in 2026—a pace consistent with prior years. Fifteen awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) complete within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. By NAICS, the portfolio clusters in communications equipment manufacturing: Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (376 awards), Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (341 awards), and Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing (299 awards) dominate. By PSC code, Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems (497 awards) and Headsets, Handsets, Microphones and Speakers (459 awards) lead, reflecting the vendor's product-focused footprint.

Hose-Mccann subcontracts in limited volume (36 awards, or 2% of the portfolio). Named sub work includes detail design and construction support to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company on the T-AO 205 tanker new construction (multiple subawards, November 2025 through July 2025), ship repair availability support to East Coast Repair & Fabrication for the USNS Hershel "Woody" Williams (August and November 2025), and dial telephone work to Vigor Marine on the USNS Earl Warren post-shakedown availability (October 2025). These subcontract relationships reflect maritime platform modernization and repair sustainment, leveraging Hose-Mccann's OEM expertise in communication systems for Navy and Military Sealift Command vessels.

The vendor competes predominantly under total small business and full-and-open set-asides, with set-aside designation appearing across the majority of awards. Its woman-owned small business certification drives qualification for most DLA procurements it pursues. The company maintains a long federal footprint (first award recorded March 1981) and has become entrenched as a communication equipment supplier to DLA logistics operations, evidenced by recurring purchase orders and delivery orders against standing IDCs rather than separate competitive procurements for discrete requirements.
