Rocker Solenoid Co

Rocker Solenoid Co, an Asian-Pacific American-owned small business manufacturer based in Huntington Beach, California, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized electrical and mechanical components—primarily solenoid assemblies, valves, valve components, seals, and related parts—to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Army. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, securing roughly half its recent awards through that designation; the remainder are full-and-open or no-set-aside procurements. Rocker Solenoid Co is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and has registered in the System for Award Management since 2002, bringing over 65 years of industry experience to aerospace and defense component manufacturing.

Rocker Solenoid Co's customer concentration is acute and heavily weighted to Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 244 awards and $23.9 million in combined potential value—81% of the top-five customer footprint and dominating both volume and dollars. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places a second tier of business (75 awards, $2.3 million), while the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, despite only 11 awards, carries $9.1 million in potential value, anchoring the second-largest customer by dollars. The remaining customer concentration sits with the Air Force and Army. Recent representative prime work includes a $2.09 million definitive contract from DLA Land and Maritime awarded in November 2024 for solenoid subassemblies (NSN 5945014605121) under a total small business set-aside, a $788.6 thousand March 2026 purchase order for 154 units of solenoid subassemblies to a DLA Distribution facility, and a $698.7 thousand August 2023 purchase order for 445 electrical solenoid units under total small business set-aside with delivery to DLA Distribution Barstow.

Activity has grown steadily from twelve awards in 2022 to 34 in 2025 (three awards year-to-date in 2026), with a combined potential value of $37.6 million across 495 total awards (prime and sub). The vendor faces recompete exposure of $6.1 million in combined potential value across thirteen awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Rocker Solenoid Co recently secured a new single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from DLA Land and Maritime in November 2025 with a ceiling value of $5.85 million and performance extending through November 2028, designated as a total small business set-aside for procurement of solenoid components and related assemblies.

Rocker Solenoid Co's subcontractor footprint is minimal—98% of its awards are prime contracts. Named sub work includes electronic assembly manufacturing and servocylinder assembly deliveries to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (supporting XM914E1 and XM813 cannon production for the Stryker 30MM program, awarded June 2025 and December 2024) and Woodward HRT Inc. (servocylinder assemblies, multiple awards spanning 2023 through 2024). Additional subs include Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation and related work on counter-unmanned aircraft system batteries.

The vendor's capability portfolio is tightly scoped to electromechanical component manufacturing, with 240 awards classified under the Relays and Solenoids PSC and 69 under Valves, Powered. Dominant NAICS categories include Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing (51 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (38 awards), Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (35 awards), and Speed Changer/Gear Manufacturing (37 awards). Nearly all purchase orders follow a firm fixed-price structure with delivery windows ranging from 10 to 800+ days. The vendor holds no major parent vehicles other than the newly awarded IDC.
