South Bay Wire And Cable Company, LLC

South Bay Wire And Cable Company, LLC, a small-business cable manufacturer based in Idyllwild, California, supplies specialized electrical, power, and fiber optic cables to the Department of the Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (67% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin and Leidos on defense sonar and undersea systems work. The company is a division of Tcom, L.P., a partnership-structured manufacturer based in Columbia, Maryland, and competes predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements alongside small-business set-aside categories.

South Bay Wire's customer base concentrates heavily on two defense agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime and Naval Sea Systems Command each account for 18 awards, split evenly across roughly $969 thousand and $891 thousand in combined potential value respectively, covering 100% of the vendor's award footprint. The DLA's dominant dollar share reflects South Bay Wire's underlying $250 thousand indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract established in June 2021, against which the company has issued 25 purchase orders and delivery orders since 2021. Recent representative work includes a $340 thousand NAVSEA purchase order for raw fiber optic and pulse power cabling supporting the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island (June 2023); a $366 thousand DLA Land and Maritime small-business-set-aside order for 38,000 linear feet of power cable (April 2023); and a $91 thousand NAVSEA sole-source purchase order for 2,600 feet of specialized tow cable meeting obsolete sonar component specifications (September 2025).

South Bay Wire's award trajectory shows growth from 3 prime awards in 2021 to 18 in 2024, with 9 awards recorded in 2025 to date. The combined potential value across all 42 prime and sub awards stands at $1.9 million, though combined dollars obligated reach $4.2 million, reflecting the IDIQ's underlying capacity. Within the top parent vehicles, the Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A123G0025 carries 4 task orders, and two indefinite-delivery contracts (N6660421DA000 and SPE7M821D61FN) anchor 3 task orders each. In its subcontractor role, South Bay Wire supplies antenna element cables, coaxial cables, and lightweight tow cable systems to Lockheed Martin on array production and antenna programs, and serves Leidos on towed-array sonar system support and spare-parts provisioning. The company's award category concentration centers on electrical wire and cable manufacturing (24 awards under PSC Wire And Cable, Electrical) and communication and energy wire production (11 awards under NAICS Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing), with secondary exposure to aeronautical systems components and fiber optic cable applications.
