Magnetika Inc.

Magnetika Inc.'s Phillipsburg Location Division, doing business as Manufacturing Branch, manufactures specialized electrical components including transformers, reactors, inductors, and coils for the Defense Department as a prime contractor on 655 firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders (99% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on six sub-awards. The company is a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Gardena, California, with primary manufacturing in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, competing in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations on the vast majority of work, though it holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency designated as total small business set-asides.

Magnetika's footprint is concentrated in a narrow customer base and product line. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 578 awards (87% of all recent work) with $5.7 million in combined potential value across power transformers, audio frequency transformers, current transformers, reactors, and related electrical assemblies. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command represents 20 awards ($225 thousand), and the Naval Sea Systems Command eight awards ($63 thousand). This concentration—DLA alone drives 96% of award count and 95% of potential value—reflects Magnetika's role as a specialized low-cost, high-volume supplier of mil-spec electrical components into the military logistics supply chain. Recent representative prime work includes a $32 thousand power transformer delivery order (May 2024), a $143.450 thousand sole-source procurement of low-pass filters for Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (September 2024, with options), and a $98.091 thousand transformer assembly purchase designated as total small business set-aside (June 2022). Individual orders typically range from $2 thousand to $32 thousand, reflecting the transactional, on-demand nature of DLA procurement.

Magnetika's parent contract vehicles are two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: one established October 22, 2025, with a $250 thousand ceiling for current transformers (National Stock Number 5950014327710), running through October 2026; and a second, smaller vehicle established May 20, 2022, also $250 thousand for power transformers, which terminated May 20, 2023. Beyond these, Magnetika places task orders under DLA's broader indefinite delivery vehicles (SPE7M521D61QR with two task orders for $32 thousand combined, SPE7M522D61AJ with two orders for $8 thousand combined, and others). Magnetika does not sit on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-award vehicles; its business model is built on repeated small purchases against DLA's inventory replenishment contracting infrastructure.

In its subcontractor role, Magnetika supplies audio frequency transformers to Lockheed Martin on MK48 Mod 7 work (February 2025), and provides transformer manufacturing and modular transformer platform production to Laurel Technologies Partnership on electronic components work (December 2023 through May 2024). These sub-awards are volumetrically immaterial to the prime footprint.

Activity has been stable to slightly declining year over year—39 awards in 2022, declining to 30 in 2023 and 2024, with a recovery to 35 in 2025 but only 14 awards so far in 2026. Nine awards with combined potential value of $235 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore recompete risk. The combined potential value across all 661 recent awards is $6.6 million, though obligated dollars across those awards total $9 million (137% of ceiling), indicating that Magnetika's actual invoiced performance has consistently tracked above individual order ceilings—a pattern typical of firm fixed-price component manufacturing where unit pricing is locked and cumulative volume drives revenue.

Magnetika's core capability framing reflects its narrow NAICS concentration: 268 awards under Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (334416), and 148 awards under Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (334415). Nearly all work falls under PSC Coils and Transformers. Magnetika competes in the unset-aside market on commodity mil-spec electrical components where pricing, delivery speed, and supply-chain reliability are the decision drivers. The company's corporate structure shows Magnetika Inc. (Gardena) as the parent, with the Phillipsburg division serving as the awarded entity and manufacturing site; no subsidiaries are named in the source.
