Spencer Industries Inc.

Spencer Industries Inc., a Belleville, New Jersey–based defense manufacturer, delivers specialized electronic and mechanical components and military equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor across over 3,700 awards since 1980, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no characteristic set-aside posture despite qualifying for small-business status on certain vehicles. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with over 40 years of federal contracting experience, operating exclusively as a prime contractor with direct manufacturing responsibility and no subcontractor relationships.

Spencer's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Aviation accounts for 2,339 awards valued at $77.1 million combined potential value, and DLA Land and Maritime represents 586 awards worth $31.3 million, together representing 91% of recent award volume. These two DLA divisions dwarf secondary customers: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (143 awards, $3.5 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (2 awards, $1.7 million), and the Air Force Materiel Command (12 awards, $830 thousand). Award concentration aligns with dollar concentration—DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime account for 95% of combined potential value.

Spencer's concrete capability portfolio centers on radio frequency cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, insulator bushings, humidity indicators, dummy transducers, swivel and link assemblies, cable clamps, tensioner pulley assemblies, drum lifting slings, and related specialized electrical and electronic components manufactured to military specifications. Representative recent awards include a $124.3 million cable assembly purchase order from DLA Aviation (March 2025), an $87 million electronic parts kit order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 2025), a $62.1 million electronic parts kit procurement also from DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025), and a $48.8 million air dryer component order from DLA Aviation (August 2025). Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders in the $2,000 to $30,000 range, with longer-lead specialty items reaching $40,000 to $125,000. The company holds six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, each carrying $250,000 ceiling values with performance periods extending through 2030; four are designated Total Small Business set-asides and two are unrestricted. Recent IDVs include single-award contracts awarded in October 2025 ($250,000, cable assembly power units, small-business set-aside), November 2025 ($350,000, cable assemblies, small-business set-aside), December 2025 ($350,000, cable assemblies, unrestricted), and February 2026 ($350,000, cable assemblies, unrestricted). Additional IDVs support Land and Maritime procurement (May 2026, $350,000, mast bases, unrestricted).

Activity has been volatile but sustained. Spencer received 170 awards in 2022, declined to 119 in 2023, recovered to 144 in 2024, and increased to 157 in 2025. Year-to-date 2026 shows 47 awards as of early July. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $120.9 million, with $65.8 million obligated (54% realization). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months totals $1.5 million across 68 awards—a modest cliff that does not represent significant near-term revenue risk given the size of the active IDV portfolio and recurring order patterns.

Spencer's procurement footprint is concentrated in radio frequency cable assemblies and antenna/waveguide components. The top NAICS codes are Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (1,518 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (208 awards), and Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (189 awards). The dominant PSC is Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies for Communication Equipment (1,807 awards), followed by Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (271 awards). All manufacturing and delivery occur at Spencer Industries' Belleville, New Jersey facility, with components distributed to DLA depots nationwide and occasionally to overseas locations via consolidation and containerization points.

Spencer competes in full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles without systematic reliance on either. Of the company's six active DLA Aviation IDVs, four carry Total Small Business set-aside designations while two are unrestricted, and the recent award history shows a roughly balanced mix of set-aside and unrestricted delivery orders and purchase orders. This posture suggests Spencer qualifies for small-business status but does not depend on it—the company wins substantial contracts in both categories and maintains competitive positioning across the full spectrum of DLA procurement vehicles. The company holds no parent contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs outside DLA) in the source material, and all work flows through direct DLA contracts or subordinate IDV task orders.
