R & B Electronics Inc.

R & B Electronics Inc., a small business manufacturer of defense-grade electronic components headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor supplying electrical leads, terminal boards, connector receptacles, splice sets, nuts, clips, and related electronic hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and subordinate federal agencies under firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders. The company competes predominantly under full-and-open federal procurement, with no small business set-aside designation applied to the majority of its award portfolio, though recent Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) are designated Total Small Business set-asides with ceilings of $250,000 to $1.54 million.

R & B Electronics' customer base centers exclusively on Defense Logistics Agency divisions. DLA Aviation accounts for 1,034 awards and $13.1 million in combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime holds 189 awards and $8.6 million combined potential value—together representing 98 percent of recent awards and 95 percent of combined potential value across the portfolio. Activity has remained steady over the past five years (73 awards in 2022, declining to 14 in 2026 year-to-date), with combined potential value of $22.8 million across 1,284 total awards and actual obligations of $5 million (22 percent of potential). The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months presents minimal exposure—only two awards totaling $2 thousand in combined potential value complete within that window.

Capability framing derives from 1,283 prime contracts spanning two dominant NAICS categories. Under NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), R & B Electronics furnishes electrical leads, terminal boards, splice sets, and terminal board covers under delivery orders typically valued between $600 and $25,000. Under NAICS 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing), the company supplies connector receptacles, nuts, sleeves, electrical clips, lanyards, fuel tank caps, and electrostatic dischargers. Recent representative contracts include a $46,345.83 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 13, 2025) for 971 units of electrical clips for B-52 Stratofortress aircraft under MIL-DTL-83413/12A specification; a $21,125.72 non-set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation (April 20, 2025) for electrical leads; and a $15,890.02 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation (March 22, 2024) for electrical leads. The company also performs manufacturing at a secondary facility in Grand Prairie, Texas, in addition to its primary Sault Ste. Marie location.

R & B Electronics' parent vehicle footprint consists of eight active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, each with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $1.54 million and performance periods extending through 2030. The largest vehicle is IDC SPE4A122979 with DLA Land and Maritime, valued at $1,541,782 through June 25, 2030, for electrical clips and related hardware supporting B-52 aircraft sustainment. Five smaller IDCs with DLA Aviation each carry $250,000 ceilings and extend through 2026 and 2030, covering electrical leads, terminal boards, nuts, and general electronic hardware. The top five parent vehicles by task-order count comprise 144 orders with $614 thousand in combined potential value. Firm fixed-price delivery orders across the vehicle portfolio typically range from $600 to $25,000, with individual IDCs guaranteeing minimum unit quantities (40 to 467 units per contract) and estimated order frequency of four to twelve orders per year. R & B Electronics holds no positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple-award schedules, or civilian-agency vehicles—the entire footprint represents direct DLA procurement relationships.

The company registered in federal contracting in 2002 (per award descriptions) and has sustained continuous performance across DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. Subcontractor activity is negligible—one sub-award identified under Kihomac Inc. (June 13, 2024) for a bus bar component on an F-16 harness IDIQ represents the only known subcontractor engagement in the source data. R & B Electronics operates as a for-profit corporation with no disclosed parent organization or active subsidiaries beyond itself. The award portfolio exhibits stable, recurring transactional work with predictable order sizes and completion timelines, characteristic of DLA's approach to sourcing small-quantity electronic components from certified manufacturers capable of meeting military specifications and supporting global defense supply chain consolidation points across Continental and Overseas Continental United States locations.
