Julian A. Mcdermott Corporation

Julian A. Mcdermott Corporation, doing business as Julian A Mcdermott Corp, manufactures electrical and safety-related lighting equipment—including light beacons, pontoon safety lights, emergency floodlights, and electrical cases—and sells these products as a prime contractor to the Defense Department and civilian federal agencies under firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards in the source) and competes in both full-and-open and small-business set-aside categories, with recent small-business set-aside wins against NAICS 335139 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing).

Julian A. Mcdermott Corporation is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Ridgewood, New York, with operational performance at Glendale, New York. The company has held a SAM registration since December 2001 and characterizes itself as a small business. No SBA designations (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) are present in the source.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized lighting solutions and electronic components for defense supply. Representative recent work includes a $39.84 thousand small-business set-aside purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (awarded December 2024) for 160 pontoon safety lights with 1–3 mile range and 90,000–100,000 hour LED lifespan, delivered to support the Dredge Goetz pontoon fleet in Wisconsin; a $36.43 thousand small-business set-aside order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (awarded February 2023) for emergency floodlights; and multiple purchases of light beacons and electrical cases from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions ranging from $1.49 thousand to $5.98 thousand per order throughout 2023–2025.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for 68% of recent award count (23 awards across Land and Maritime, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and Aviation sub-organizations) carrying a combined potential value of $207 thousand. By dollar value, the top five customers account for 91% of combined potential value, led by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($200 thousand, 1 award), DLA Land and Maritime ($87 thousand, 10 awards), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($77 thousand, 7 awards), DLA Aviation ($43 thousand, 4 awards), and the Army Corps of Engineers ($40 thousand, 1 award). The vendor holds positions on five DLA indefinite delivery contracts (DLA40081C4221, DLA40088C1045, DAAD0581C9648, DLA40081C5322, DLA40082C0565) with one to two task orders each.

The award portfolio shows consistent but modest volume: two awards in 2024 and 2025, two in 2023, two in 2021, and one in 2020. Combined potential value across all 69 recent prime awards totals $491 thousand, though combined dollars obligated reach $2.1 million—indicating that many older awards from the vendor's tenure since 2001 carried higher values than recent purchase orders. The vendor operates across multiple lighting and electrical equipment NAICS categories, with 34 awards classified under electric portable and hand lighting equipment and 14 under electric vehicular lights and fixtures.
