New England TEK LLC

New England TEK LLC, a woman-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Lawrence, Massachusetts, operates as a prime contractor supplying electronic components, hardware, and specialized equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Navy through nearly 660 awards over the past several years, competing full-and-open without set-aside designation on most transactions.

New England TEK is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structured as a tax-exempt corporate entity. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though a material subset of awards—including two anchor IDV contracts worth $250,000 each—carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. The company's NAICS footprint centers on bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (123 awards), current-carrying wiring device manufacturing (37 awards), and magnetic and optical media manufacturing and reproduction (36 awards); PSC concentration reflects storage products, nuts and washers, screws, IT end-user support hardware, and welding and soldering supplies.

The vendor's capability portfolio is granular and transactional: supply of disk drive units (ranging from single-unit to bulk orders reaching $226 thousand), specialized cable assemblies and electronic components, electrical clips and fasteners, soldering flux and supplies, insulation sleeving, circuit breakers and relays, pressure gauges, flow control valves, filters, connectors, and electric vehicle charging stations. Representative awards include a $226.9 thousand disk drive unit purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment (March 2025, Total Small Business set-aside), a $220.4 thousand disk drive unit order from the same customer (November 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), and a $56.3 thousand filter element order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2024, no set-aside).

Customer concentration is acute and homogeneous. The top five agencies account for 98% of recent awards by count. DLA Aviation leads by award count at 222 orders worth $821 thousand combined potential value, but DLA Land and Maritime ($1.6 million combined potential value across 220 awards) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($1.6 million across 161 awards) dominate the dollar rankings. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command rounds the active set with 35 awards worth $858 thousand. This concentration mirrors DLA's structure: New England TEK supplies across four DLA components (Aviation, Land and Maritime, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and Troop Support Medical), with the latter accounting for only 8 awards worth $47 thousand.

New England TEK holds two single-award IDV contracts, both with DLA. The January 2024 $250,000 cable assembly IDV with DLA Aviation runs through January 2029 under Total Small Business set-aside and has generated delivery orders in the $1,200–$3,700 range since award. The April 2025 $250,000 cable assembly IDV, also with DLA Aviation and running through April 2030, is likewise a Total Small Business vehicle. Small numbers of task orders also flow under DLA-issued IDVs such as SPE7M824D60AE (8 orders, $85 thousand) and SPE4A624D5370 (7 orders, $18 thousand), though these vehicles appear to be wider-community contracts on which New England TEK places occasional orders rather than awards to the vendor directly.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor recorded 174 awards in 2022, 218 in 2023, 93 in 2024, 33 in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 658 awards totals $5 million, with $3.5 million (70%) obligated. The trajectory reflects both cyclical procurement patterns within DLA and possible loss of volume to competitors or consolidation within New England TEK's customer base. No recompete cliff data is present in the source; however, the steep year-over-year decline in 2024–2025 signals either completion of prior-year awards without renewal or reduced demand from core customers.

New England TEK operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor delivers goods directly from its Lawrence facility without named teaming relationships or sub-vendors.
