Power Connector LLC

Power Connector LLC, a Joint Venture Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business based in Bohemia, New York, manufactures and supplies electrical connectors, backshells, covers, adapters, cable assemblies, and related electronic components to federal agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, though approximately 11% of recent awards carried total small business or partial small business set-aside designations.

Power Connector's customer base centers overwhelmingly on the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customer entities account for 58% of awards by count and 47% of combined potential value. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix leads by potential value (342 awards, $28.3 million), followed by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office (139 awards, $17.7 million), the broader Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons pool (1,311 awards, $15.7 million), the United States Penitentiary Marion (51 awards, $13.1 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (49 awards, $10.7 million). Prisons work dominates dollars — electronic components and raw materials for Federal Prison Industries production at Phoenix and other facilities account for a substantial share of the award portfolio. DLA Land and Maritime procurement rounds out the profile with 675 awards ($10.2 million combined potential value) for electrical connector plugs, backshells, covers, adapters, and receptacles under multiple indefinite delivery contracts.

Power Connector's capability footprint is defined by electronic connector manufacturing (NAICS 334417, 1,578 awards) and current-carrying wiring device manufacturing (625 awards), with secondary work in hardware and cable assembly. Representative prime awards include a $320.3 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix for electronic components and raw materials (December 2021), a $291.9 thousand non-set-aside order from the same facility for similar components (September 2023), a $143.6 thousand DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for 5,063 electrical connector plugs under open competition (May 2025), and a $124.8 thousand partial small business set-aside order from the United States Penitentiary Marion for cable, connectors, and electrical equipment (November 2024). The award cadence has declined sharply — from 45 awards in 2022 to 14 in 2025 and 1 in the first quarter of 2026 — suggesting either recompete exposure, transition in customer demand, or pipeline consolidation.

Power Connector holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000, awarded between 2021 and 2022 to supply connector plugs, backshells, covers, adapters, and related electrical components on an as-needed basis. The largest parent vehicles by task-order count are internal IDC structures: IDC DJU4600002853 (101 task orders, $3.6 million combined potential value) and IDC 4600001082 (62 task orders, $174 thousand), both with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office. These are single-award vehicles enabling routine purchase-order issuance for inventory replenishment and facility maintenance.

In its subcontractor role, Power Connector delivered credit modifications in support of a Stryker vehicle delivery order under General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. in March 2024. The vendor is a child entity of TPC Engineering Holdings, Inc. (a for-profit corporate parent), though TPC Engineering does not appear to exert operational influence on Power Connector's federal footprint.

The source data spans from October 1990 to March 2026, recording 4,437 prime awards with $183.5 million combined potential value (of which $132 million is obligated). No recompete cliff is explicitly identified in the source, but the steep decline in awards per year over the past four years warrants monitoring for contract transitions at the Bureau of Prisons and DLA.
