Management Solutions, L.C.

Management Solutions, L.C., doing business as Esstech Engineering, manufactures and distributes electrical components and aviation support equipment as a small business prime contractor, with 100% of its federal awards held as prime contracts and no subcontractor role. The company competes predominantly full-and-open, with recent awards split between total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements issued across multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts.

The Louisa, Virginia-based vendor specializes in firm fixed-price delivery of wiring harnesses in branched and standard configurations, specialized and radio frequency cable assemblies, electrical insulation sleeving, conductor splices and splicing kits, light assemblies including night vision goggle positioning variants, and nonmetallic conduit for military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. Recent representative work includes a $1,055,161 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for branched wiring harnesses (March 23, 2025), a $501,236 total small business set-aside purchase order for wiring harnesses (March 23, 2025), and a $363,096 delivery order from DLA Aviation for light assemblies, NVG position (October 17, 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Aviation accounts for 7,634 of 8,003 awards (95% of the portfolio) valued at $81.5 million combined potential value, with all other federal customers together representing only 5% of awards. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal places a distant second with 154 awards and $45.2 million combined value, reflecting two separate customer bases with inverse award-to-dollar patterns — DLA Aviation's high-volume, smaller-transaction model versus Army's lower-volume, higher-value transactions. DLA Land and Maritime adds 80 awards at $11.7 million. The vendor serves sixteen federal agencies total but operates almost entirely within DLA's aviation logistics ecosystem.

Management Solutions holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA Aviation, each with $250,000 ceiling values and completion dates through 2030, plus three newer IDC vehicles awarded in 2025-2026 with ceilings of $350,000 to $2,041,540. The top five parent vehicles show extreme concentration: SPE4A620D5096 carries 2,307 task orders (though potential value shows as $250,000, likely a data artifact), SPE4A617D6815 carries 2,064 task orders, and SPE4A616D5804 carries 625 task orders. These vehicles are the conduit for the vast majority of small orders; the vendor's award portfolio reflects decades of small, recurring delivery orders averaging under $10,000 in the DLA Aviation supply chain.

Activity shows sharp recent deceleration. The vendor recorded 653 awards in 2022, 814 in 2023, but only 258 in 2024, 138 in 2025, and 18 through April 2026. This decline reflects either changes in DLA procurement patterns, contract consolidation, or reduced ordering frequency rather than loss of standing — the vendor's multiple active IDVs remain in place through 2030, with the newest awards made as recently as February 2026. Thirty awards completing in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.7 million and face routine recompete.

The vendor does not subcontract and operates as a sole proprietor LLC manufacturer. All work is performed at its Louisa, Virginia headquarters. NAICS profile is dominated by "All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing" (3,879 awards), "Noncurrent-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing" (2,550 awards), and "Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing" (618 awards); PSC concentration is electrical insulators and insulating materials (6,240 awards). Federal grant work is not present in the portfolio; all activity is contract-based. The company has held federal registration in SAM.gov continuously since October 2001, with a documented track record as a DLA Aviation core supplier for specialized electrical consumables and wiring assemblies across multiple service branches' aviation maintenance and repair infrastructure.
