Orbital Corporation Of Tampa

Orbital Corporation Of Tampa, doing business as Orbital Corp, is a minority-owned, Subcontinent Asian American–owned small business manufacturer of military-specification electronic components and precision-engineered assemblies for the Defense Department, operating exclusively as a prime contractor from its Zephyrhills, Florida facility. The company competes full-and-open without predominant set-aside reliance, though approximately 20–30% of its awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations across its DLA portfolio.

Orbital Corp manufactures cable assemblies, electrical cord assemblies, wiring harnesses, connectors, switches, microphone elements, headsets, handsets, and related defense electronics. Representative work includes a $76,897 delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 2026) for electrical cord assemblies under Total Small Business set-aside; a $226,941 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) for handsets under Total Small Business set-aside; a $90,563 purchase order from DLA Aviation (March 2025) for wiring harness components under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $73,234 delivery order from DLA Aviation (June 2025) for electrical cord assemblies. The company also holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, each valued between $250,000 and $350,000, covering cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, power cables, headset-microphones, and related components, with performance periods extending through 2026–2031.

Customer concentration is acute. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation represents 1,003 awards (60% of the 1,663-award portfolio) with $15 million combined potential value; DLA Land and Maritime represents 535 awards (32%) with $15.5 million potential value. Together, these two DLA components account for approximately 98% of all awards and 99% of combined potential value. The remaining 14 customer agencies—primarily Department of the Army Materiel Command and other DLA subdivisions—account for less than 2% of awards and less than 1% of dollars. Orbital Corp serves exclusively as a prime; the portfolio contains zero subcontractor awards.

Activity has grown steadily: 51 awards in 2022, 80 in 2023, 97 in 2024, and 108 in 2025 (50 awards recorded as of mid-April 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, 41 awards with combined potential value of $550 thousand reach ultimate completion, presenting modest recompete exposure. The top five parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE7MX14D0124 (19 task orders, $241 thousand), SPE7MX20D0114 (10 task orders, $361 thousand), SPE7M120D61BV (9 task orders, $91 thousand), SPE7LX14D0104 (8 task orders, $86 thousand), and SPE7M520D5016 (8 task orders, $129 thousand)—all DLA vehicles. Award work clusters in four NAICS codes: Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (716 awards), Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (226 awards), Electronic Connector Manufacturing (206 awards), and Power Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (140 awards). By Product Service Code, Cable/Cord/Wire Assemblies (499 awards) and Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (580 awards) dominate. The company's $31.5 million combined potential value across all awards reflects $21.2 million obligated (67% burn rate).

Orbital Corp's footprint is tightly aligned to DLA's electronic components supply chain for military aviation and land/maritime platforms. The company operates no identified subcontractor relationships, performs all manufacturing in-house at Zephyrhills, and has maintained SAM registration since 2001. Its established role as a critical DLA supplier—evidenced by 1,663 awards since the source's inception—positions it as a responsive, single-facility provider of commodity and specialized electronic accessories meeting military specifications across defense logistics operations.
