Protronic LLC

Protronic LLC, doing business as Protronic Defense, is a woman-owned small business based in Wake Forest, North Carolina, that supplies specialized electronic and mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively across multiple Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open purchase orders, with total small business set-asides appearing across roughly 40 percent of recent prime awards.

The vendor's footprint centers on legacy defense component supply—filters (air, fluid, media), transducers, switches, cable assemblies, circuit card assemblies, thermocouples, transmitters, power supplies, relays, antennas, interface units, dehydrators, couplers, and electrical hardware. Recent representative work includes a $127,260 purchase order from DLA Aviation for pressure transducers (awarded September 2024, completion December 2025), a $117,073 total-small-business-set-aside from DLA Aviation for mirror support assemblies (awarded June 2025), a $115,942 total-small-business-set-aside from DLA Aviation for temperature transmitters (awarded November 2025), and a $66,221 total-small-business-set-aside from DLA Land and Maritime for fluid filter elements (awarded September 2024). The vendor holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts, each valued at $250,000: one with DLA Land and Maritime for 10 Gigabit SFP transceivers (extended through March 2026), and one for fluid filters through August 2026.

Customer concentration is absolute and narrow. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 232 awards and $3.3 million combined potential value (59% of the portfolio); DLA Aviation holds 175 awards and $1.7 million (30%); and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents 69 awards and $619 thousand (11%). All 476 awards in the source are prime purchases—no subcontractor footprint is present. The vendor competes on individual purchase orders and indefinite delivery vehicles exclusively through the Defense Logistics Agency; no GWAC, BPA, or government-wide vehicle participation is evident in the source.

Activity accelerated from eight awards in 2022 to a peak of 193 in 2023, then moderated to 143 in 2024, 116 in 2025, and 16 through mid-2026 (reflecting the recent award date snapshot). Combined potential value sits at $5.6 million across all 476 awards, with $4.8 million obligated to date. The recompete cliff is modest: ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $497 thousand, presenting a modest recompete exposure for the vendor.

The top component categories by NAICS and PSC reflect the breadth of electromechanical legacy supply: current-carrying wiring device manufacturing (38 awards), instruments for measuring and controlling industrial process variables (29 awards), radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (24 awards), pressure and temperature measuring and controlling instruments (46 awards by PSC), centrifugals and filters (33 awards), and cable and cord assemblies (30 awards). All work performs in Wake Forest, North Carolina; some recent orders specify secondary performance locations such as Titusville, Florida or delivery to DLA distribution centers nationwide and internationally. Protronic Defense operates without named subcontractors, maintaining full prime responsibility on all awards.
