Independent Electric Supply Inc.

Independent Electric Supply Inc., operating as Independent Power Systems, supplies electrical components, wiring, and related equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor (81% of recent awards) and subcontractor, with a portfolio of sixteen awards carrying combined potential value of $164 thousand. The vendor is a for-profit subsidiary of North Coast Electric Company, a foreign-owned parent entity. Independent Electric Supply competes predominantly full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations evident across the award record.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on electrical apparatus, wiring supplies, and power distribution equipment procurement and installation. Top NAICS categories include Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (four awards) and Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction (three awards), with PSC work dominated by Wire and Cable, Electrical and Coils and Transformers. Representative prime work includes SCADA testing and electrical infrastructure upgrades at Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton under a Naval Facilities Engineering Command contract (2022), though the broader prime portfolio spans smaller-dollar awards across navy, special operations, coast guard, veterans affairs, interior, and energy customers.

Customer concentration is fragmented. The top five funding agencies by potential value — Navy Information Warfare Systems Command ($70 thousand), United States Special Operations Command ($49 thousand), Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard ($13 thousand), Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 ($7 thousand), and Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration ($7 thousand) — account for 89% of combined potential value across only five awards, reflecting a low-volume, highly dispersed customer base with no dominant agency relationship. Activity has been sparse and episodic; after steady work in 2010–2014, the award record shows a dormancy gap before three awards in 2022, with no activity in the source data after September 2022. In its subcontractor role, Independent Electric Supply delivers SCADA testing and electrical modification work to Nova Group, Inc. under Naval Facilities Engineering Command electrical upgrade contracts at Bremerton.
