Kriparos Cynthia

Kriparos Cynthia, doing business as Custom Power Solutions, is a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Chesapeake, Virginia, that supplies electrical power equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor (89% of awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor. The company operates as a sole proprietorship and holds Woman Owned Small Business and Woman Owned Business designations; it does not hold a federal contract vehicle but competes as a direct vendor through purchase orders.

Custom Power Solutions specializes in manufacturing power supplies and related electrical equipment, selling primarily to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command. The vendor's recent award footprint spans nine total awards since 2013, with combined potential value of $171 thousand. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for four awards with $125 thousand in combined potential value, anchored by a $82,740 firm fixed-price purchase order for a power supply (NSN 8508728682) awarded in December 2021, a $24,588 total-small-business-set-aside power supply order (NSN 8510676775) awarded in June 2024, and a $9,785 power supply purchase order awarded in March 2026. The Navy Naval Supply Systems Command rounds out the customer base with five awards carrying $46 thousand in combined potential value. Across both agencies, awards concentrate on electrical power conversion equipment classified under PSC Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating, with NAICS spread across miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing, general purpose machinery manufacturing, and electronic component manufacturing. The vendor's activity pattern is sparse and irregular — one award in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in early 2026 — with no recurrent standing IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Custom Power Solutions also holds one subcontract role as a power supply provider to Argon ST, Inc. on a July 2024 sub-award for a signal generator power supply. The company does not compete under set-aside programs on the majority of its prime awards; set-asides appear sporadically (one total-small-business designation) alongside full-and-open competitive awards.
