Mathews Associates Inc.

Mathews Associates Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Sanford, Florida, supplies specialized military batteries and battery assemblies to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing across both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements. The company manufactures nonrechargeable batteries, rechargeable storage batteries, battery assemblies, and ice buoy lithium battery packs for defense and civilian agencies, with a footprint spanning 747 awards valued at $346.1 million combined potential value.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 282 awards and $319 million in combined potential value — roughly 92 percent of the vendor's total dollar exposure — while the Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM), Coast Guard, DLA Aviation, and Naval Supply Systems Command round out the active set at materially smaller scales. This concentration is reflected in the recent delivery order portfolio: a $284,435.58 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from CECOM (February 27, 2026) for non-rechargeable batteries NSN 6135-01-568-3234 with ultimate completion March 1, 2027; a $343,000 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 18, 2025) for 1,373 units of nonrechargeable batteries NSN 6135014783935; a $27,245.46 Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside delivery order from the Coast Guard (June 23, 2026) for 66 ice batteries across two locations; and a $3,064,936.00 firm fixed-price delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 16, 2024) for battery storage products.

Mathews Associates holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts across DLA Land and Maritime, the Coast Guard, and CECOM. The DLA Land and Maritime multiple-award IDIQ for storage batteries carries a $13.935 million ceiling (awarded February 27, 2026, running through February 26, 2031) and is the largest recent vehicle. A Coast Guard single-award IDIQ for ice buoy batteries holds a $710,315.28 ceiling (awarded June 18, 2024, WOSB set-aside, running through June 17, 2029) with monthly task orders for delivery-schedule ice battery packs. A DLA Land and Maritime Total Small Business multiple-award vehicle for battery storage products carries a $13.606 million ceiling (awarded April 23, 2024, running through April 22, 2029). Two single-award DLA Land and Maritime IDIQs cover non-rechargeable batteries and battery assembly products at $1.606 million and $1.976 million ceilings respectively. CECOM holds a $4 million multiple-award IDIQ for non-rechargeable batteries NSN 6135-01-568-3234 (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded September 28, 2023, running through September 27, 2028). An older DLA Land and Maritime multiple-award vehicle for battery storage products valued at $15.676 million (July 21, 2022) expired in 2025 but supported substantial order volume across its lifecycle.

Activity volume has been uneven. Awards averaged 17.6 per year over the past five years but show declining trajectory — 28 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 28 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 year-to-date. Nine awards carrying combined potential value of $5.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or replacement. The vendor's NAICS and PSC posture clusters around Primary Battery Manufacturing (287 awards), Storage Battery Manufacturing (166 awards), and Battery Manufacturing (44 awards) under PSC categories for Nonrechargeable Batteries (370 awards) and Rechargeable Batteries (227 awards), reflecting a tight product-line focus on the two battery chemistries and industrial segment.

Mathews Associates operates a minimal subcontract footprint — three sub-awards to Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. for MK48 MOD 7 torpedo battery memory scuttle assemblies (April and May 2022) — with the bulk of the federal business conducted as prime. The vendor's set-aside posture is predominantly Total Small Business across DLA, with scattered Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides anchoring Coast Guard work and some full-and-open competitive awards. Across its award history, the vendor has maintained SAM registration since at least the early 1980s, signaling sustained federal engagement in battery supply.
