Ryan Electronics Corporation

Ryan Electronics Corporation, doing business as Ryan Electronics Corp, is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer and distributor of military-specification electrical components based in Bristol, Connecticut, operating as a prime contractor on defense supply contracts. The company manufactures and supplies electrical wire, power cable, radio frequency cable, and specialized cable assemblies to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and other federal agencies, competing exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements despite its veteran-owned designation.

Ryan Electronics operates almost entirely within a single customer relationship. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 2,213 of 2,225 total prime awards—99.5% of award volume and $13.3 million of the $13.3 million combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. The remaining customer agencies—the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs, Naval Sea Systems Command, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center, the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, and the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command—collectively represent five awards totaling $52 thousand. This concentration is extreme and defines the vendor as a specialist DLA supply-chain partner rather than a diversified federal contractor.

Ryan Electronics' capability portfolio centers on military-specification electrical infrastructure products. Award descriptions repeatedly reference electrical wire (NAICS 335929, Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing), power electrical cable, radio frequency cable, and cable assemblies for defense applications. Representative recent work includes a $33.7 million power electrical cable delivery order (March 23, 2026), a $43.07 million radio frequency cable delivery order (December 12, 2025), a $25.78 million power cable purchase order (January 6, 2026), and a $12.3 million electrical wire purchase order (February 17, 2026). Awards range from sub-$200 small orders to individual purchase orders and delivery orders exceeding $60 thousand. The company holds five active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings, established between July 2025 and March 2026, covering electrical wire, power cable, and radio frequency cable. Place of performance is consistently Bristol, Connecticut, with delivery to DLA depots throughout the Continental United States and overseas consolidation points.

Activity has grown substantially year over year—154 awards in 2022 to 410 in 2025—though 2026 data through mid-April reflects only 139 awards to date and should not be treated as a full-year projection. The five awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $25 thousand, presenting minimal recompete exposure at the portfolio level given the size and velocity of the DLA transaction flow. Ryan Electronics is listed as a subcontractor to Raytheon Company on a November 2025 award for wire and hook-up work supporting a Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar antenna upgrade in Puerto Rico, though sub-award representation in the source is sparse.

Ryan Electronics Corporation is a child entity of Multi / Cable Corporation, a veteran-owned manufacturer also based at 37 Horizon Drive in Bristol, Connecticut. The parent company likewise operates as a for-profit manufacturer of goods with a veteran-owned designation. The subsidiary structure and the identical headquarters address suggest Ryan Electronics may function as a specialized operating unit within a broader cable and electrical component manufacturing group, though the source does not describe corporate strategy or operational relationships between the two entities.

All 2,220 awards in the source's primary NAICS and PSC coding fall under Wire and Cable, Electrical (PSC code), with category concentration split between Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (1,052 awards), Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying (711 awards), and Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (333 awards)—a classification pattern typical of DLA's commodity-based procurement taxonomy rather than a signal of vendor diversification. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open, non-set-aside postures across all named awards despite holding a veteran-owned certification, indicating either strategic choice or DLA's preference for competition-based source selection on its electrical-products vehicle.
