Inter-Coastal Electronics, LLC

Inter-Coastal Electronics, LLC (doing business as Ice), a Mesa, Arizona-based for-profit limited liability company and subsidiary of Electric Fuel Corporation, manufactures advanced electronic systems for defense and aviation applications as a prime contractor (85% of recent awards) and subcontractor on Army simulation and training programs, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Ice's capability portfolio centers on tactical engagement simulation systems (TESS), aviation training devices, chaff delivery systems for aircraft survivability, circuit card assemblies, missile spare parts, and contractor logistics support and field service representative work for military training infrastructure. Recent prime work includes a $10.06 million delivery order for TESS hardware procurement from the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (awarded September 2025), a $16.84 million delivery order for chaff delivery systems supporting aviation training devices under the $94.3 million CHAFF Delivery Orders for Aviation Training Devices IDV (issued June 2024), a $7.12 million tactical engagement simulation system procurement for the Netherlands' Chinook aircraft (June 2024), an $8.8 million delivery order for TESS B Kits procurement under the Netherlands IDIQ from Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command (February 2024), and a $7.84 million definitive contract to deliver a tactical engagement simulation system to Morocco (January 2022). On the electronic components side, Ice holds a $350,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for electronic connector backshells (awarded March 2026) and executes multiple smaller purchase orders for missile spares and connector components across Army Aviation and Missile Command and DLA. Ice's GSA Multiple Award Schedule labor portfolio spans ten categories priced from $87.76 to $242.17 per hour, covering technician, engineer, project manager, and subject matter expert roles with education requirements from high school through bachelor's degree and no security-clearance-dependent roles.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army training and simulation programs. The top five funding organizations account for 78% of recent awards by count; PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation dominates the potential-value ranking with 64 awards worth $35.26 billion combined potential value, while Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command contributes 16 awards valued at $183.9 million, and Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command holds 35 awards worth $30 million. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places numerous smaller purchase orders (34 awards, $2 million combined value) for electronic components. This concentration reflects Ice's deep positioning in Army aviation training modernization and international military assistance programs.

Ice holds a substantial footprint on Army training and simulation IDVs. The company's single-award $92.3 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command for Aviation Training Systems (TESS and Training Aircraft Survivability Equipment) anchors most international security-assistance delivery orders and runs through November 2028. The $94.3 million CHAFF Delivery Orders for Aviation Training Devices IDV with PEO STRI (through June 2029) supports domestic aviation training system procurement. Ice also holds a $947,354 single-award IDV with Army Aviation and Missile Command for circuit card assemblies and missile spare parts (through September 2027) and the recently awarded $350,000 DLA Land and Maritime backshell IDV. Activity has been volatile — 13 awards in 2022, declining to 11 in 2023, then surging to 54 in 2024 before dropping to 10 in 2025 — with twelve awards (combined potential value $77.9 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore entering recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Ice delivers tactical engagement simulation system labor, technical support, and training laser designator work to Lockheed Martin on multiple Army Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (ATADS) maintenance task orders supporting the National Training Center, Joint Readiness Training Center, and Light Utility Helicopter and AH-64E training systems. Recent sub work includes incremental funding modifications for TESS labor and material support across multiple Lockheed Martin Army training contracts (awarded January through December 2024), M-TADS/PNVS training laser designator support (multiple awards 2024), and support for the Fort Knox Digital Air/Ground Integration Range project. Ice also subcontracts to Bell Textron on the Future Vertical Lift FLRAA (Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft) program for tactical engagement training subsystem engineering and test support (awards November 2025, October 2024, and February 2025), to HII Mission Technologies on National Training Center Instrumentation System network expansion (June 2024), to HX5 LLC on Apache M-TADS/PNVS production and technical services (multiple 2024 awards), to General Dynamics One Source on Fort Bliss Range 83 exercise work (March 2024), and to Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation on Test & Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments and Spectrum (TETRAS) engineering services (January 2024). Across both prime and sub portfolios, Ice maintains a specialized and narrow customer base anchored to Army aviation training modernization, security assistance programs for allied nations, and logistics support for existing defense platforms.
