LFW Distribution Cable Manufacturing Inc.

LFW Distribution Cable Manufacturing Inc., a woman-owned, minority-owned small business manufacturer based in Bedford, Texas, manufactures specialized cable assemblies and wiring harnesses for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under total small business set-aside and full-and-open designations. The vendor operates a dedicated manufacturing facility in Bedford where all work is performed and competes across both set-aside and unrestricted procurements, with the majority of recent delivery orders issued without set-aside restrictions despite holding eligibility under small business designations.

LFW's customer base is highly concentrated. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 61 of 63 recent awards ($857 thousand combined potential value), with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime representing the remaining two awards ($1 thousand). This concentration reflects LFW's core capability as a specialty cable and electrical component manufacturer for military aviation logistics and spare-parts inventory. Representative work includes a $14,637 delivery order awarded December 19, 2025, for specialized cable assemblies under a total small business set-aside (completion June 5, 2026); a $16,467 delivery order awarded April 20, 2025, for cable assembly components under no set-aside designation (completion October 6, 2025); and a $10,978 delivery order awarded June 15, 2026, for cable assembly components under total small business set-aside (completion November 30, 2026). All work is procured under LFW's single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation, established November 30, 2023, with a $250 thousand ceiling and performance period through November 28, 2028. Two parallel IDVs (SPE4A620D5194 and SPE4A624D5183) have generated 11 and 5 task orders respectively since the contract base inception.

Activity has been episodic over the past five years — one award in 2024, three in 2023, four in both 2022 and 2025 — with only one award (combined potential value $11 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio spans primarily Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (60 awards) and Electronic Connector Manufacturing (2 awards) by NAICS, with PSC categories dominated by Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (57 awards). LFW holds no subcontract positions and operates exclusively as a prime contractor, with no parent contract vehicles beyond the two DLA Aviation IDVs. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $359 thousand (42% of the $859 thousand combined potential value), reflecting the firm fixed-price, order-by-order nature of the delivery-order flow.
