Surplus Electrical Innovations, Inc.

Surplus Electrical Innovations, Inc., doing business as Surplus Electrical Innovations, supplies specialized electrical components and assemblies to the Department of Defense as a women-owned small business prime contractor, with over 1,100 purchase orders awarded since 1996 concentrated almost entirely in the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions. The Norfolk, Virginia-based vendor holds SBA certification as a Women-Owned Small Business and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement; a small fraction of recent awards carry total small business set-aside or woman-owned small business set-aside designations, but the bulk of its federal footprint consists of unrestricted purchase orders.

Surplus Electrical Innovations' federal work centers on supplying discrete electrical components—electromagnetic relays, circuit breakers, switches, contactors, thermal relay heaters, connectors, cables, lighting fixtures, motor controllers, and panels—to defense logistics supply chains. Representative recent awards include a $45,000 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical contacts (May 2025), a $36,000 purchase order for electromagnetic relays (March 2026), a $30,800 purchase order for a light-indicator panel from DLA Aviation (February 2024), and a $24,000 total small business set-aside purchase order from US Pacific Fleet Forces for motor controllers (April 2023). All work is performed at the vendor's Norfolk facility under firm fixed-price terms; completion cycles are typically 30 to 60 days.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 729 awards (61% of the recent footprint) worth $2.9 million in combined potential value, while DLA Aviation holds 283 awards (24% of volume) valued at $976 thousand. Together these two divisions represent 85% of award count and 80% of dollars. The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (48 awards, $445 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (31 awards, $254 thousand), and DLA's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division (23 awards, $154 thousand) round out the top five. The vendor has worked with 20 distinct federal agencies, but concentration within DLA Land and Maritime and Aviation is nearly absolute.

Activity has remained consistent over the past five years—55 awards in 2022, declining to 35 in 2024, then recovering to 55 in 2025 and 18 to date in 2026. Combined potential value across the entire footprint stands at $5 million, though obligated dollars have reached $6.1 million, indicating strong execution and invoicing discipline. No parent contract vehicles or GWACs appear in the footprint; the vendor operates exclusively through direct purchase orders. No subcontract activity is present in the source data—Surplus Electrical Innovations operates as a prime contractor only, with no identified sub relationships to other primes.

The vendor's product portfolio aligns tightly with DLA's mission to provision naval and military platforms with mission-critical electrical spares. Top NAICS categories include Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (152 awards), Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (138 awards), Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (102 awards), and Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (87 awards). Top PSC codes reflect the same focus: Electrical Control Equipment (170 awards), Switches (148 awards), Relays and Solenoids (117 awards), and Circuit Breakers (80 awards). The vendor has registered in SAM since December 2001, indicating three decades of federal contractor standing.
