Santa Maria Electric, Inc.

Santa Maria Electric, Inc., operating as Santa Maria Electric, is a California-based electrical contractor that subcontracts to prime defense and federal contractors on facility modernization, HVAC systems, power infrastructure, and intrusion detection projects at military installations, primarily as a subcontractor (85% of recent awards are prime contracts, but the vendor holds no prime federal contracts itself — it operates entirely in the subcontractor role). The vendor is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Santa Maria, California.

Santa Maria Electric's recent work centers on electrical infrastructure, HVAC systems, and facility modernization. Named subcontracts include a November 2025 digital transformation acquisition modernization and modification task with Science Applications International Corporation installing video poles and display equipment for a 4,000 UHF capable video data transport system; October 2025 taxiway edge light replacement and HVAC repair tasks under RDZ Contractors, Inc. at a military airfield; a June 2025 HVAC system replacement involving new disconnect switches, wiring, and fan reconnection under RDZ Contractors; two 2024–2025 generator and switchgear installation and reconfiguration tasks under the Launch Operations Support Contract (LOSC) modernizing aging Western Range support equipment for tests, operations, and launches; and a October 2024 intrusion detection systems task under Boeing at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force. The top five customer agencies account for 83% of recent awards, with the Department of the Air Force holding 24 awards and the Department of the Air Force Space Command holding 4 additional awards; the Department of the Army, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and the Space and Missile Systems Center complete the active set. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $13.3 million. Santa Maria Electric operates on Air Force IDCs and BPAs including the 30th Civil Engineering Squadron Vandenberg Space Force Base Construction and Maintenance vehicle (2025–2030) and multiple other indefinite delivery contracts.

The vendor's award activity shows sporadic recent volume — two awards in 2024 and four in 2025 — reflecting a subcontractor position on larger primes and facility-support vehicles rather than a sustained prime presence. Primary teaming relationships include Science Applications International Corporation, RDZ Contractors, Inc., and The Boeing Company on facility and infrastructure work at Vandenberg Space Force Base and other Air Force installations. Capability framing across the award footprint centers on electrical infrastructure installation, facility systems modernization, and maintenance support services at federal military installations, with a secondary focus on intrusion detection and security systems.
