Minco Products Inc.

Minco Products Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Fridley, Minnesota, designs and manufactures flexible circuits, heaters, sensors, and integrated thermal solutions for federal agencies as both a prime contractor (81% of recent awards) and subcontractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The company has over fifty years of federal supply experience and operates across multiple NAICS categories centered on heating equipment, thermal components, and specialized electrical manufacturing — Primary PSC coding reflects Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components and Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments.

Minco's customer base is highly dispersed across twenty-three distinct federal agencies, with no dominant customer. The top five agencies by award count account for 37% of recent awards and include NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (6 awards), the CDC Pittsburgh (5 awards, $243 thousand combined potential value), the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards), the Navy's Office of Naval Research (3 awards, $26 thousand), and the Department of Commerce (2 awards, $14 thousand). Dollar concentration diverges sharply from award volume: the CDC Office of Acquisition Services and Department of Health and Human Services combined account for 87% of the $908 thousand combined potential value across the prime portfolio, driven by a single $462 thousand HHS award. NASA awards, frequent by count, carry minimal dollar value per award. Recent representative prime work includes a $122,075 CDC purchase order for thermal components (July 2022), a $34,875 NASA sole-source purchase order for Cal Cell Heater Emitters and Detectors and temperature sensors (January 2025), and a $13,199 Shared Services Center purchase order for customized heaters (March 2026).

Minco's activity has been sporadic — one to five awards annually over the past five years, with the most recent award in March 2026. The combined potential value across all recent awards ($908 thousand) has been exceeded by obligated dollars ($1.4 million), indicating work completion in excess of initial valuations or contract modifications. In its subcontractor capacity, Minco supplies heaters, sensors, and flight parts to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on multiple Dragonfly Extended Phase B Mission and INTERSTELLAR Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) subcontracts under the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Indefinite Delivery Contract 80MSFC20D0004, and supplies heated window assemblies for laser range finder applications and wideband global satcom components to Boeing. The vendor holds no seats on government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide IDIQs; task-order work flows through agency-specific IDCs and blanket purchase agreements, with NASA's 80MSFC20D0004 accounting for six task orders.
