Ted Manufacturing Corp

Ted Manufacturing Corp, a for-profit manufacturer of precision electrical components based in Shawnee, Kansas, operates as a prime contractor supplying electrical connectors, plugs, receptacles, adapter connectors, and custom cable assemblies to defense and civilian federal agencies on a predominantly full-and-open basis, with selective participation in small business set-asides.

The company's customer base concentrates heavily on Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 418 awards worth $2.1 million in combined potential value across the recent award footprint — representing 70% of all awards by count and 54% by dollar value. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters, the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation form a secondary tier. FAA Headquarters has issued 18 awards valued at $412 thousand for assets supporting the National Airspace System; the Coast Guard has placed 13 awards worth $92 thousand, primarily for MH-65 helicopter connectors and BNC connectors for long-range surveillance aircraft; Naval Sea Systems Command has awarded a single $79.1 thousand order for MK22 electrical lead assemblies and cable assemblies.

Ted Manufacturing operates principally under an indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $250 thousand, against which DLA has issued hundreds of firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from under one thousand dollars to approximately $25 thousand. The top five parent vehicles span multiple IDCs with DLA entities, with Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM93004D5398 carrying eight task orders valued at $37 thousand combined. Recent representative work includes a $16.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order in March 2026 for National Airspace System assets, a $25.4 thousand July 2025 FAA order for electrical components supporting the NAS, and a $79.1 thousand May 2023 Naval Sea Systems Command order for cable assemblies and tooling. The $9.7 thousand November 2024 DLA award for electrical connectors and receptacles carried a Total Small Business set-aside designation; most other DLA and FAA orders carry no set-aside.

Activity has grown from a single award in 2022 to twenty awards in 2024, then declined to one award each in 2025 and 2026 in the source snapshot. The company's award footprint spans 600 total prime contracts since 1980, with 95% of the combined potential value obligated. Across the portfolio, electronic connector manufacturing dominates at 454 awards, followed by nonferrous forging (27 awards) and aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (18 awards). PSC-level concentration mirrors this product focus, with 560 awards in the Connectors, Electrical category. Ted Manufacturing maintains no subcontract relationship in the source data and does not appear on any government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide IDIQs — work flows entirely through direct agency purchase orders and DLA's indefinite delivery vehicles. The company has held active SAM registration since September 2001.
