Kulite Semiconductor Products Inc.

Kulite Semiconductor Products Inc., a Leonia, New Jersey-based small business manufacturer, supplies specialized pressure transducers, motional transducers, thermal resistors, and pressure switches to the federal government as a prime contractor (97% of awards) and subcontractor on defense and aerospace platforms. The company is not designated as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA set-aside category in its prime footprint; however, it competes for and wins numerous Total Small Business set-aside awards, particularly through Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation vehicle contracts.

Kulite's federal customer concentration is heavily skewed to DLA Aviation. Of 2,600 total awards across all sources, DLA Aviation accounts for 1,343 awards (72% of the top-customer grouping) valued at $111.6 million combined potential value—representing approximately 67% of the vendor's total federal award portfolio. DLA Land and Maritime follows with 159 awards and $4.6 million in value. The Department of the Army, NASA Shared Services Center, and NASA Langley Research Center round out the top five customer agencies. This concentration reflects Kulite's specialized role as a sole-source or approved-source supplier of proprietary sensing components for military aircraft, naval vessels, ground vehicles, and missile systems; many DLA Aviation awards cite source-controlled drawing specifications and approved-manufacturer NSNs.

Kulite holds or participates in multiple parent contract vehicles. Federal Supply Schedules GS07F5963P and GS24F1416C each carry dozens of task orders, as does an indefinite delivery contract (HSCG3804D202033) valued at $14.3 million across 20 task orders. Four primary IDIQs with DLA Aviation represent approximately $5.1 million in collective ceiling value through 2029: a $2 million full-and-open IDIQ for pressure transmitters (single award, June 26, 2024); a $1.158 million total small business set-aside IDIQ for pressure transmitters, motional transducers, and pressure switches (single award, June 13, 2024); a $712,916 total small business set-aside motional transducer IDIQ (single award, June 28, 2024); and a $350,000 single-award total small business set-aside for thermal resistors with DLA Land and Maritime (January 5, 2026). Kulite also holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (W912HZ21A0015) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center, against which 20 task orders have been placed for pressure sensors and transducers.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years—ranging from 56 to 127 awards annually, with 90 awards in 2025 and 56 in the year-to-date 2026 snapshot. Sixty-one awards (combined potential value $5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competitors.

Kulite's subcontractor footprint reveals deep integration with major aerospace and defense primes. Named sub relationships include Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (V-22 and CMV-22 pressure transducer supply, multiple awards 2025–2026), Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA program transducers), Boeing (MQ-25 EMD, B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program), General Electric (T408 engines), Rolls-Royce (depot-level engine repair, F119 sustainment), RTX/Raytheon (F135 engine control unit, hypersonic missile transducers), Lockheed Martin (aircraft platform sustainment), United Launch Alliance (cryogenic propulsion transducers), and Northrop Grumman (GQM-163 cruise missile). The subcontract work spans engine instrumentation, airframe systems, propulsion components, and test operations across military and space launch platforms.

Kulite's capability portfolio centers on pressure measurement and control instruments: pressure transmitters, motional transducers (accelerometers), thermal resistors, and pressure switches designed for extreme and harsh environment applications—aerospace, defense aircraft, naval systems, ground vehicles, and missile platforms. Representative prime work includes $432,320 for pressure transmitters (NSN 6850-01-320-7010, DLA Aviation total small business set-aside, September 24, 2025); $578,730 for motional transducers (NSN 6695016186602, DLA Aviation total small business set-aside, December 17, 2024); $238,333 for a 64-channel pressure scanner system with Ethernet interface and 16-port 250 PSI module (NASA Shared Services Center sole source, June 25, 2025); and $74,159 for pressure transducers supporting NASA missions (NASA Shared Services Center, September 25, 2024). An outlier is a $28,000 Other Transaction Agreement with the U.S. Air Force for a Next Generation Pressure Scanner Prototype (September 5, 2025). NAICS concentration sits in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (703 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (399 awards), and Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (313 awards). PSC concentration is driven by Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments (865 awards) and Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments (719 awards).

Kulite competes predominantly as a full-and-open prime but captures material volume through total small business set-asides on DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime IDIQs—a posture that reflects the vendor's small business classification and the government's preference for set-aside vehicles in commodity sensor procurement. The vendor has not been awarded any federal grants in the source data; its footprint is entirely contract-based. With over 400 patents in proprietary transducer technology and a forty-plus-year federal procurement history, Kulite has established itself as an approved and source-controlled supplier to the defense industrial base, positioning it as both a target for OEM component purchases and a dependency for major prime contractors' platform sustainment and new-development programs.
