Schaedler Yesco Distribution Inc.

Schaedler Yesco Distribution Inc. operates as a wholesale distributor of electrical supplies, lighting fixtures, wiring, automation equipment, and datacomm infrastructure, competing exclusively as a prime contractor across 493 federal awards with no subcontract footprint. The company, headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and operating the Schaedler Yesco Distribution division from Swatara, Pennsylvania, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that has maintained active federal vendor registration since 2002.

The company's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and Army operations. The top five funding agencies account for 67% of awards by count: the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command leads in award volume with 190 contracts and $2.2 million combined potential value, while the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal dominates in dollar value with 74 awards worth $25.9 million combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places 14 awards totaling $5.1 million; DLA Distribution handles 43 awards for $203 thousand; and Naval Facilities Engineering Command accounts for 10 awards valued at $242 thousand. The divergence between award count and dollar value reflects Redstone Arsenal's reliance on a single $750,000 five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA W911N221A0002) established November 1, 2020, which generates high-dollar task orders despite lower order volume compared to Navy supply ordering patterns.

Schaedler Yesco distributes electrical and electronics hardware across multiple parent vehicles. The Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0275T carries the highest order count with 94 task orders generating $182 thousand in potential value, while the Army's BPA W911N221A0002 sustains 40 task orders worth $54 thousand and another Army BPA (W911N213A0001) carries 22 task orders for $65 thousand. A Navy Basic Ordering Agreement (N0010410GA009) supports 15 task orders valued at $244 thousand.

Recent representative work illustrates the product scope: a $76,170 firm fixed-price award from the Federal Correctional Institution Schuylkill (August 2021) for LED light fixtures; an $85,508.92 Army Corps of Engineers purchase order (September 2022) for electrical supplies supporting Laurel River Lake Power Plant in Somerset, Kentucky; a $31,066 Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation contract (September 2022) for a DC switchboard and components for the Yellowtail Powerplant in Fort Smith, Montana; and recurring BPA calls from ACC Redstone covering emergency lights, wiring, batteries, fixtures, conduit, LED lamps, and related components, with individual task orders typically ranging from $9 to $9,746.

Activity has decelerated sharply: the vendor held 13 awards in 2022 and 17 in 2023, but only 3 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 to date, reflecting a substantial drop in ordering velocity. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $8 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate horizon. However, the underlying $750,000 Army BPA structure provides a contract vehicle foundation that, if extended or rebid, could anchor future task order flow. The company's product category concentration centers on Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (132 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (105 awards), and Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (64 awards), with PSC code strength in Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, and Associated Hardware (144 awards) and Electrical Hardware and Supplies (40 awards).

Schaedler Yesco does not compete under SBA set-asides; 67 of 493 awards carry total small business set-aside designations (primarily Army BPA calls), but most awards (426 total) carry no set-aside designation, indicating the vendor competes predominantly full-and-open against commercial suppliers. Combined potential value across all awards is $39.6 million, with only $4.5 million obligated (11%), characteristic of many small-dollar task order vehicles with low spend-to-ceiling ratios.

Schaedler Yesco is a full service small business that specializes in electrical distribution with 23 locations in Pennsylvania.
