About the company
Live Wire LLC, a Vermont-based manufacturer of audio equipment and military communications components operating under the trade name Sonetronics, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Whitney Blake Company that delivers specialized microphones, headsets, earphones, handsets, microphone elements, and related acoustic components to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders, competing entirely in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation (approximately 75% of awards) and total small business set-asides (approximately 25% of awards).
Live Wire LLC's federal customer base is highly concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The DLA Land and Maritime division dominates the portfolio, accounting for 111 of 124 total awards and $14.7 million of the $14.8 million combined potential value — 99% of all dollars. The DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division holds 11 awards for $39 thousand, and the DLA Aviation division holds 2 awards for $39 thousand, together representing less than 1% of combined potential value. Representative prime awards include a $219.3 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded February 10, 2025, for 11,000 dynamic microphones (NSN 5965012778589) designated as a total small business set-aside with delivery to the DLA Distribution Center at San Joaquin; a $107.1 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order awarded June 5, 2025, for 574 units of headset-microphones (NSN 5965011281410) with delivery to DLA Distribution Warner Robins; and a $55.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded January 15, 2026, for 2,354 microphone element components (NSN 5965008439957) designated as full-and-open competition with delivery to DLA Distribution Jacksonville within 57 days.
Live Wire LLC operates under three active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. The SPE7MX16D0016 IDV has generated 47 task orders carrying $547 thousand in combined potential value. The SPE7MX18D5017 IDV supports 5 task orders totaling $476 thousand. The SPE7MX19D5034 IDV backs 3 task orders valued at $27 thousand. These vehicles provide standing procurement authority for microphone booms, microphone elements, and related audio components on an as-needed basis.
Award activity accelerated substantially in 2025, with 16 awards compared to 6 in 2024 and 9 in 2023. The portfolio reflects extreme product-category concentration: 104 awards fall under audio and video equipment manufacturing (NAICS 334310), 11 under apparel accessories and other apparel manufacturing (related to acoustic membrane procurements), and 7 under other electronic component manufacturing. The primary PSC code is Headsets, Handsets, Microphones and Speakers (110 awards). The award footprint spans military communications support across domestic DLA distribution centers including Jacksonville, San Joaquin, and Warner Robins, with performance occurring at Live Wire's facility in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Live Wire LLC competes as a prime contractor only; the source does not reflect subcontract activity. As a subsidiary of Whitney Blake Company, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, Live Wire LLC operates as a captive supplier within the defense industrial base for specialized audio components, with no set-aside ownership designation visible in the current portfolio.
