Magnetika Inc.

Magnetika Inc., a Gardena, California-based manufacturer of specialty electronic components, provides transformers, reactors, inductors, and related magnetics to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (85% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes, competing predominantly full-and-open with no SBA set-aside designations on its prime work.

Magnetika manufactures custom and standard power transformers, pulse transformers, reactors, and inductors primarily for aerospace and defense applications. The company holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 with small business set-aside designations, enabling rapid procurement of specialized electrical components for military logistics. Representative recent prime work includes a $43,868 power transformer delivery to DLA Land and Maritime under firm fixed-price purchase order (August 2023), a $40,300 delivery of assets in support of the National Airspace System to the Department of Defense Headquarters under purchase order (December 2024), and a $28,564 four-unit power transformer order from DLA Land and Maritime with delivery to the DLA Distribution Center San Joaquin (November 2025). A secondary line of prime work flows through the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters (three awards, $130 thousand combined potential value).

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates the footprint with 190 awards and $1.6 million in combined potential value across 89% of recent awards. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command follows with 13 awards and $126 thousand, while the Department of the Army, the Department of Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, and the DLA account for the remainder of material volume. The two rankings align closely — DLA Land and Maritime anchors both counts and dollars — with no tension between volume and value.

Magnetika's subcontractor footprint anchors to two primes: Raytheon Company (18 sub awards including transformer and reactor work on the SM-6 Blk IA, MK-99 production, AMRAAM, and FCS Mk 99 Mod 14 programs) and Lockheed Martin Corporation (15 sub awards delivering transformer converters, trigger transformers, filter transformers, and inductors for PAC-3 missile production). Boeing receives secondary sub work on the Wideband Global Satellite Communications program. Magnetika's subcontract activity spans critical defense platforms including the PAC-3 air defense system, F-35 fighter jet integration through prime relationships, the AMRAAM air-to-air missile, and satellite communications systems.

Activity has fluctuated modestly — 17 awards in 2022, rising to 20 in 2024, then declining to 13 in 2025 with only three awards recorded as of mid-2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: two awards with combined potential value of $39 thousand reach ultimate completion in that window. The vendor's top NAICS categories reflect its manufacturing focus: Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (104 awards) and Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (51 awards), with secondary work in Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (19 awards). PSC coding is concentrated in Coils and Transformers (211 awards). The source indicates Magnetika was established in 1960 and maintains secondary manufacturing capability in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
