Spectron Inc.

Spectron Inc., a Dayton, Ohio-based manufacturer of electronic and electrical components, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized electrical hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency in full-and-open federal competition, with no participation in small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structured as a corporate entity, registered in SAM.gov since 2001.

Spectron's federal capability footprint centers narrowly on manufacturing mission-critical electrical connectors, terminal studs, terminal lugs, test probes, and related electrical hardware for military aviation and defense infrastructure maintenance. Representative recent work includes a $13,157.30 delivery order from DLA Aviation for connector receptacles (July 2025), a $13,214.90 delivery order for terminal studs from DLA Aviation (August 2024), a $5,053.50 purchase order from DLA Aviation for terminal lugs (April 2025), a $3,534.72 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical connectors (March 2024), and a $457.60 purchase order from DLA Aviation for terminal boards (September 2023). All recent awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders with no set-aside designation, reflecting Spectron's ability to win against unrestricted competition.

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Aviation accounts for 239 awards and $1.6 million combined potential value; DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds 88 awards for $567 thousand; and DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 108 awards for $494 thousand. Together these three DLA subdivisions represent 94% of awards. Spectron holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation valued at $250 thousand (awarded August 30, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 29, 2024) that serves as the parent vehicle for recurring delivery orders. Additional DLA IDCs drive smaller order volumes, with the top five parent vehicles (Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE4A617D6591, SPE4A614D5262, SPE4A722D5633, SPE4A615D5136, and DLA40084C1973) carrying 36 task orders across them.

Activity has declined sharply: 17 awards in 2022, 9 in 2023, 10 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 (as of February 19, 2026). The combined potential value across all 516 awards is $2.7 million, though combined dollars obligated total $4.3 million, indicating that prior-year task orders have been completed and invoiced at rates exceeding original ceiling values. Spectron operates exclusively as a prime contractor—no sub-award activity appears in the source. Spectron competes entirely in full-and-open federal procurement, holding no parent vehicles and maintaining no recorded teaming relationships or subcontractor arrangements. The vendor's market position depends entirely on DLA's recurring need for specialized electrical components manufactured in Dayton, with no diversification across other federal customers, contract vehicles, or capability domains.
