Orbit International Corp.

Orbit International Corp., through its Orbit Instrument division, manufactures defense electronics and specialized electronic components for naval and military platforms as a prime contractor in the firm fixed-price purchase order and delivery order market, operating entirely outside set-aside categories with 99% of recent awards as a prime.

The company is a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, with four named subsidiaries: Behlman Electronics, Inc., Integrated Consulting Services, Inc., Tulip Development Laboratory, Inc., and Simulator Product Solutions LLC (self-certified small disadvantaged business). Orbit competes full-and-open across its prime portfolio, with no small business or other set-aside designations appearing in its recent federal award history. The company's product line centers on data entry keyboards, trackballs, control panels, color entry panels, communication panels, bullnose keyboards, radar control units, enclosure assemblies, and mounting trays — mission-critical user-interface and mounting components for naval platforms, aircraft systems, and ground defense equipment.

Naval Supply Systems Command dominates Orbit's customer base, representing 295 awards with $14.4 million in combined potential value (71% of awards covered by top-five customers). The Department of the Navy overall accounts for the largest share of activity, followed by the Department of the Army (particularly the Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command with 24 awards valued at $4 million) and Naval Sea Systems Command (26 awards, $2.7 million). Defense Logistics Agency places a secondary volume of orders (64 awards, $200 thousand potential value), and the company serves 22 distinct federal customer agencies. Dollar value obligated ($58.7 million) significantly exceeds combined potential value ($32.7 million), indicating substantial completion and reorder velocity on existing vehicles. Recompete exposure is minimal: only two awards ($316 thousand combined potential value) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Orbit's largest parent vehicles are legacy naval indefinite delivery and basic ordering agreements through Naval Supply Systems Command — Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010405GA606 (54 task orders, $427 thousand potential value), Basic Ordering Agreement N0010411GA300 (34 task orders, $493 thousand potential value), and Basic Ordering Agreement N0010418GBE01 (15 task orders, $939 thousand potential value) — alongside an Army Materiel Command vehicle, DAAB0703DK210 (11 task orders, $6.7 million potential value). Recent prime examples include a $308.25 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for a bullnose keyboard aircraft accessory (January 2026), a $247.95 thousand firm fixed-price order from Naval Supply Systems Command for an ordnance panel (April 2025), and a $369.75 thousand definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for bullnose keyboards (December 2022).

Orbit operates as a subcontractor to major defense primes on aerospace and electronic systems integration work. Recent sub awards include an audio control panel set for a console display multiplexer under Lockheed Martin (February and March 2025), P-8 aircrew training device engineering manufacturing development upgrades under Boeing (multiple increments from October 2023 through June 2025), an electromechanical input device assembly for Raytheon (January 2025), and MQ-9 Reaper keyboard and trackball assemblies under General Atomics (December 2024). The subcontract share is minimal (1% of total awards) and represents supplementary work rather than core business strategy.

Activity has remained stable at 8–11 awards annually over the past five years, with 787 total awards in the source data spanning back to 1980. The top procurement categories align with the product portfolio: Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (90 awards), Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (66 awards), and communications and navigation equipment manufacturing (68 combined awards across two NAICS). The vendor's award history reflects sustained specialization in legacy naval electronics components and user-interface hardware rather than modernization or cloud-based services — a stable, high-volume commodity supplier position anchored to long-standing naval logistics and supply relationships.
