R & D Electronics, Inc.

R & D Electronics, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Brownsboro, Alabama, manufactures specialized electronic components and assemblies for defense applications as a prime contractor on single-award indefinite delivery vehicles with the Defense Logistics Agency and Army, and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin on military weapons systems integration. The company operates predominantly full-and-open (93% of recent awards carry no set-aside designation), though it qualifies for and has received woman-owned small business set-asides on selective contracts and several IDVs designated for total small business.

R & D Electronics delivers cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, power distribution boxes, and related electrical components manufactured to military specifications for defense logistics supply chains. Representative prime work includes a $274,215.36 total small business set-aside purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (awarded October 31, 2024) for missile controller components with completion through October 2027; a $670,894.14 definitive contract from Army Contracting Command Warren (awarded February 29, 2024) for distribution boxes supporting defense supply operations through February 2025; a $355,936.72 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (awarded August 20, 2024) for missile controllers with completion through November 2026; and a $213,127.50 delivery order from the Army's Joint Munitions Command (awarded June 15, 2023) for W110 cables supporting weapons systems and munitions programs. On the subcontractor side, R & D Electronics supplies cable assemblies, harnesses, buzzer assemblies, and controller components to Lockheed Martin for Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) production; recent sub-awards include components for M270A2 MLRS production (multiple awards dated December 2024 through February 2025), PRSM Increment 2 development (awarded February 27, 2025), and HIMARS production (multiple awards dated September–October 2024). The company also provides subcontract support to Defense Systems and Solutions for engineering and harness fabrication work and to Boeing on aerospace upper-stage assembly and integration (awarded June 29, 2023, for Ares I Upper Stage development).

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Army and DLA. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of combined potential value: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads with 308 awards ($23.9 million), followed by Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command with 336 awards ($24 million), the Department of the Army with 190 awards ($8 million), Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command with 18 awards ($4.1 million), and Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command with 6 awards ($4 million). By award count, the same five agencies comprise 84% of total activity, reflecting R & D Electronics' role as a dedicated defense supplier.

R & D Electronics holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its prime work: a $665,895.62 IDC with DLA Aviation for cable assembly specifications (awarded October 18, 2022, ultimate completion October 17, 2027); a $1,433,524.50 IDC with DLA Aviation for cable assemblies and power distribution boxes (awarded August 15, 2022, completion August 14, 2027); an $852,510 IDC with the Army's Joint Munitions Command for W110 cables (awarded May 15, 2023, completion May 14, 2024); a $534,842 total small business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation for specialized cable assemblies supporting the Multiple Launch Rocket System (awarded October 27, 2025, completion October 26, 2027); a $550,000 IDC with DLA Aviation (awarded November 18, 2025, completion November 17, 2030); and several $250,000 IDCs with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime spanning 2022 through 2029. Task orders under these vehicles have ranged from approximately $30,000 to $210,000. The company's top five parent vehicles by task order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A614D0337 (13 task orders, $556 thousand), SPE4A620D5589 (11 task orders, $189 thousand), SPE4A623D5B64 (10 task orders, $255 thousand), SPE4A618D0307 (9 task orders, $727 thousand), and SPE4A620D5339 (9 task orders, $230 thousand).

Recent activity has grown materially: 30 awards in 2022 to 92 in 2024, with 32 awards placed in 2025 and 7 in the first quarter of 2026. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $912 thousand) have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The vendor's product portfolio skews toward electrical power and distribution equipment (550 awards under PSC "Miscellaneous Electric Power And Distribution Equipment") and cable, cord, and wire assemblies (108 awards under PSC "Cable, Cord, And Wire Assemblies: Communication Equipment"), with secondary concentration in guided missile remote control systems and specialized equipment. The company brings over 50 years of manufacturing experience in defense electronics and has established itself as a responsive supplier within the defense industrial base, particularly for logistics support to MLRS, HIMARS, Patriot air defense, and munitions programs. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal activity—0.4 FTEs in FY2024 as a named subcontractor on one SCI record—indicating R & D Electronics' federal revenue is predominantly product-based procurement, not labor-hour services work.
