Route Electronics 22 Inc.

Route Electronics 22 Inc., a for-profit small business based in Mountainside, New Jersey, supplies electronic components, cables, connectors, and electrical equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing under total small business set-asides on the majority of awards and full-and-open on a material minority. The vendor has registered as a federal contractor since at least 2001 and serves the Bureau of Prisons' Federal Prison Industries program as its dominant customer, with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command as a secondary source of volume.

Route Electronics 22 Inc.'s customer base is heavily concentrated in the Bureau of Prisons. The top five funding agencies account for 84 percent of recent awards by count. The Bureau of Prisons' United States Penitentiary Marion leads in combined potential value, with 133 awards totaling $5.3 million, while the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command places the most orders by volume, with 233 awards valued at $2.6 million. The Bureau of Prisons' Federal Medical Center Lexington and Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix collectively account for 358 awards valued at $2.6 million. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office holds 18 awards worth $2.4 million in combined potential value. Together, these five customers represent 73 percent of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. The disparity between award count and dollar value reflects the vendor's role: high-volume, low-dollar purchase orders for raw materials and component supplies to support Federal Prison Industries manufacturing and facility maintenance, mixed with occasional larger orders reaching six figures.

The vendor competes on five primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract W25G1V09A0020, carrying 112 task orders valued at $842 thousand combined potential value. Indefinite Delivery Contract W25G1V04A0020 holds 96 task orders totaling $1.5 million. Contract DAAB1700A0020 carries 94 task orders with no dollar value specified in the source. Two additional Bureau of Prisons IDCs, DJU4600002468 and DJU4600004158, account for 95 task orders combined.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor recorded 23 awards in 2022 but declined to nine awards annually in 2024 and 2025, with only three awards recorded in 2026 to date. This downturn has not triggered recompete exposure; only one award with an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months carries $36 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor has invoiced $12 million against $17.7 million in combined potential value across all awards (68 percent obligation rate), indicating steady drawdown of prior-year commitments even as new awards have slowed.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly defined by product category. The top NAICS codes reflect component wholesale and manufacturing: Other Electronic Parts and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (218 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (198 awards), and Electronic Connector Manufacturing (181 awards). The top PSC categories track similarly: Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components (281 awards), Connectors Electrical (268 awards), and Electrical Hardware and Supplies (120 awards). Route Electronics 22 Inc. delivers micro-circuits, resistors, capacitors, cables, connectors, boxes, switches, and raw materials in kit form to support Federal Prison Industries production and facility electrical infrastructure. Representative awards include a $102.3 thousand order from Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix for electronic components and cables to support inmate vocational training (March 2025, full-and-open), a $62.9 thousand total small business set-aside from the same facility for micro-circuits, resistors, and capacitors (October 2024), and a $42.5 thousand total small business set-aside from Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix for cables and electrical equipment (May 2025). The vendor also maintains work with Federal Medical Center Lexington and United States Penitentiary Marion under similar set-aside and competitive terms, supplying raw materials for future production orders at Federal Prison Industries facilities in Lexington and Phoenix.

The vendor does not subcontract; 100 percent of awards are prime contracts. Route Electronics 22 Inc. operates as a sole proprietor or small firm in the electronic components and materials supply space, with no visible teaming arrangements or sub awards in the source data.
