Murray Benjamin Electric Company LLC

Murray Benjamin Electric Company LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, supplies military-specification electrical components and specialized cabling to the federal government as a prime contractor on indefinite delivery contracts and purchase orders, with 99% of its recent award footprint in prime contracting and recurring work concentrated at the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime.

The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation and competes predominantly through HUBZone and Total Small Business set-asides; set-aside work characterizes approximately 45% of recent prime awards, with the balance awarded full-and-open or through existing indefinite delivery vehicles. Murray Benjamin's core capability portfolio centers on military-specification electrical infrastructure products: power cables, fiber optic cables, radio frequency cables, circuit breakers, electrical connectors, stuffing tubes, and specialized cable assemblies for shipboard and defense logistics applications. Representative work includes a $476,000 total small business set-aside power cable procurement from DLA Land and Maritime awarded August 2025 for 3,200 feet of qualified products list cable; a $267,295 circuit breaker supply contract from Naval Supply Systems Command designated total small business set-aside and completed March 2026; a $91,399.77 fiber optic cable assembly delivery order from DLA Aviation awarded August 2025; and a $30,245.50 cable and wire order from United States Penitentiary Marion under total small business set-aside completed November 2025.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Land and Maritime dominates the portfolio at 5,356 awards and $161.6 million in combined potential value—76% of all prime awards and 64% of total dollar magnitude. Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and DLA Aviation together account for an additional $47.2 million across 793 awards. The top five agencies represent 92% of award count and 86% of potential value, indicating narrow customer diversification anchored entirely to Department of Defense logistics and naval commands. Most awards execute against seven single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and awarded between August and October 2025, plus one $550,000 DLA Aviation IDC awarded August 2025 and running through August 2030; these vehicles carry combined potential value of $2.3 million and collectively represent the company's dominant contracting mechanism.

Activity has declined modestly year over year—439 awards in 2022 falling to 75 awards in 2026 year-to-date through July—though the shift reflects consolidation into larger individual purchase orders and indefinite delivery task orders rather than total revenue decline. Obligated dollars stand at $206.1 million against $250.1 million in combined potential value (82% realization), reflecting substantial executed work. Within the next twenty-four months, 44 awards with combined potential value of $5.4 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure.

Subcontract footprint remains minor (1% of award count, 84 total sub-awards) but reflects strategic naval and combat systems work. Named prime contractors include General Dynamics Information Technology, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Serco Inc., QED Systems Inc., Vigor Works LLC, and Prism Maritime Inc., with work spanning cable assemblies and electrical components for ship combat systems installations, vessel construction, and C4ISR platform upgrades. These relationships position Murray Benjamin as a qualified supplier for major shipbuilding and naval modernization primes rather than a subcontractor on broader systems integration.

Murray Benjamin Electric has held federal contracts continuously since at least July 1991 and maintains SAM.gov registration since June 2001. Recent indefinite delivery award activity (eight IDCs totaling $2.3 million potential value, all awarded in early 2026) aligns with the company's strategic positioning as a rapid-supply vendor for standardized electrical infrastructure components supporting military logistics operations across continental and overseas locations. The company's product concentration in wire, cable, and circuit breaker categories (4,074, 907, and 765 awards respectively across the broader portfolio) underscores specialization in commoditized electrical components rather than engineered systems.
