Madison Electric Co

Madison Electric Co, doing business as Madison Electronics, is a foreign-owned, Warren, Michigan-based electrical and electronic distribution firm that supplies electrical components and equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, exclusively through full-and-open competition with no set-asides. The company operates as a parent corporation with a subsidiary, Madison Electric Company, and maintains over 100 years of industry experience supplying federal defense and civilian agencies. Madison Electronics competes entirely in unrestricted competition across the defense supply base.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on distribution of electrical components and equipment to support military depot maintenance, logistics, and operational readiness. Representative prime work includes a $117,968.90 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center in April 2026 for Modicon M580 Programmable Logic Controller equipment and Schneider Electric industrial automation hardware components supporting Glenn Research Center's legacy Quantum PLC system upgrades, a $46,712.29 purchase order from NASA in May 2026 for Schneider PLC hardware equipment automation components, and a $350,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime component awarded March 31, 2026, for electrical components including circuit breakers, battery storage systems, cable assemblies, terminal lugs, connectors, power supplies, switches, fuses, relays, and test equipment. The firm holds multiple active indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency valued collectively at approximately $1.75 million across cable assemblies, terminal lugs, and other electrical component categories. Three recent single-award IDICs awarded in early 2026 each carry $350,000 ceilings and one-year performance periods through early 2027.

Customer concentration is pronounced and heavily defense-focused. The top five customer agencies account for 97 percent of award count. The Defense Logistics Agency dominates both volume and dollars: the Land and Maritime component alone placed 6,824 awards (combined potential value $65.1 million), while the Aviation component issued 2,151 awards ($17 million potential value). The Troop Support Construction and Equipment component accounts for 706 awards ($2.4 million potential value), and Naval Supply Systems Command issued 39 awards ($889 thousand potential value). NASA and the Department of the Army round out the active set with single-digit to double-digit orders at sub-million values. This concentration reflects the vendor's core role as a qualified supplier for rapid procurement of electrical components on the DLA's qualified products lists across military depot consolidation points nationwide and overseas.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. Madison Electronics recorded 1,612 awards in 2022, dropping to 888 in 2023 and 2024, further declining to 862 in 2025, and then to 252 awards year-to-date in 2026 (as of May 21). The combined potential value across all 10,195 historical awards stands at $91 million, with $32.2 million (35 percent) obligated. A recompete cliff of sixteen awards with combined potential value $348 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint; all 10,195 awards are prime contracts issued directly to Madison Electronics.

Product concentration reflects electrical distribution. The top NAICS categories are All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (1,370 awards), Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (933 awards), Storage Battery Manufacturing (833 awards), and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (783 awards). The vendor's PSC ordering patterns show strong concentration in Batteries, Rechargeable (1,423 awards), Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (1,111 awards), Electrical Hardware and Supplies (893 awards), Circuit Breakers (684 awards), and Switches (673 awards). Individual purchase orders typically range from sub-hundred-dollar line items for terminal lugs, fasteners, and connectors to multi-thousand-dollar orders for power supplies, floodlight assemblies, heating elements, and test equipment. The vendor's Schneider Electric Alliance Industrial Automation Distributor certification surfaces as a decision gate for participation in NASA procurements requiring certified distributor status.

The company's structure as a foreign-owned corporate entity, combined with its $1.75 million in active DLA IDICs and sustained high-volume ordering from Land and Maritime across thousands of small to mid-size purchase orders, positions it as a specialized supplier within the military logistics supply chain. The sharp decline in award velocity since 2022 and the modest recompete exposure in the near term suggest the vendor may face pipeline pressure or shifting consolidation patterns within DLA's vendor base.
