Koehlke Components Inc.

Koehlke Components Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and authorized distributor of electrical, mechanical, radio frequency, and fiber optic components and assemblies based in Franklin, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized interconnect solutions and component parts to the Department of Defense on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis, with occasional small business set-aside awards. The company competes across an extremely high-volume purchase order footprint centered on defense logistics supply chains, delivering cable assemblies, wire rope assemblies, wiring harnesses, electrical connectors, antenna subassemblies, and related mechanical and electronic components to military vehicle and aircraft maintenance, communications systems, and equipment operations.

Koehlke's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime dominates the footprint at 1,655 awards valued at $12.3 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation at 1,008 awards valued at $5.5 million. A third DLA entity (general) accounts for 362 awards valued at $1.9 million. Together, these three DLA organizations account for 86% of total award count and 84% of combined potential value. Beyond DLA, the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command, and the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command represent secondary customers, but with markedly lower exposure. The sourced award portfolio spans 27 distinct customer agencies, but DLA's dominance is absolute.

Koehlke's award volume has grown markedly: 96 awards in 2022, 108 in 2023, 201 in 2024, and 97 in 2025 (with 12 recorded in the first quarter of 2026). The combined potential value across all awards is $27.1 million, though obligated dollars total $37.8 million—a 140% ratio indicating that invoiced spend is outpacing stated ceilings, a signal of active, high-volume transactional work. Twenty-five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $312 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure given the very large overall portfolio.

Koehlke holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts anchoring its relationship with DLA. Recent IDV awards include two single-award contracts issued February 27, 2026, by DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $350,000 for retaining plates and electronic connectors with one-year terms or ceiling, and two single-award contracts issued July 23, 2025, by DLA Aviation for electrical leads and cable assemblies, each valued at $250,000 with similar one-year or ceiling-based terms. The company also maintains a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal valued over $1 million for cable and harness materials supporting the Letterkenny Army Depot. Representative recent prime work includes a $456,194.70 definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 17, 2025) for fiber optic cable assemblies and components, a $105 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (October 14, 2024) for cable assemblies, an $86,400 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 7, 2025) for antenna subassemblies, and numerous smaller firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from under $1,000 to $61 thousand, primarily for cable assemblies, wire rope assemblies, wiring harnesses, and connectors.

The sourced award listing identifies only one subcontract relationship: a May 21, 2024 sub-award under prime contractor DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC for a wiring harness branched assembly. Koehlke's business model is predominantly prime-focused, with 100% of recorded awards in the source reflecting prime contractor status.

Set-aside posture is mixed but weighted to full-and-open competition. Most purchase orders carry "No Set-Aside Used" designations; however, a meaningful subset of awards—particularly larger purchase orders and some IDVs—are designated as "Total Small Business" set-asides, reflecting Koehlke's eligibility and selective pursuit of reserved opportunities. The vendor does not carry SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) as stated in the source corporate identity.

Koehlke's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in interconnect solutions and component assembly manufacturing and distribution. The top NAICS codes are Electronic Connector Manufacturing (863 awards), Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (465 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (169 awards), and related manufacturing categories. Top PSC codes are Connectors, Electrical (1,108 awards), Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (362 awards), and Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (293 awards). The company manufactures or stocks qualified products for military specifications and National Stock Numbers, with delivery windows typically 50–163 days from order, and operates across multiple DLA depots in CONUS and OCONUS locations via consolidation and containerization logistics. Koehlke has been registered to receive federal contract awards since March 2002 and maintains System for Award Management (SAM) registration.
