The Dewey Electronics Corporation

The Dewey Electronics Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer of military electronics and mechanical components based in Oakland, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor on a high-volume, routine-order business model, delivering specialized parts to the Department of Defense and its agencies across 1,393 prime awards (99% of footprint) and nine sub awards. The company competes predominantly full-and-open and holds no named SBA set-aside certifications; however, it qualifies as a small business and recurs on multiple Total Small Business set-aside IDCs and purchase orders.

Dewey Electronics' customer concentration is tightly anchored in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) operations. The top five funding agencies account for 77% of awards by count: DLA Land and Maritime leads with 540 awards ($28.5 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (234 awards, $10.3 million), the Department of the Navy (195 awards), DLA Troop Support Hardware (67 awards), and the Department of the Army (50 awards). By potential value, DLA Land and Maritime again dominates at $28.5 million, but Army Materiel Command agencies enter the top tier—PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support ($15 million), Army Communications Electronics Command ($11.6 million), and Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground ($10.2 million)—reflecting significant power-generation and engine-assembly business.

Capability framing: Dewey Electronics manufactures discrete mechanical and electrical components—bearings, gaskets, seals, cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, connectors, fuel pumps, power distribution panels, circuit breaker boxes, and specialized underwater equipment (rodmeters and sea valves for Navy operations). Recent representative work includes a $184.9 million sole-source purchase order from US Fleet Forces Command Atlantic Fleet (August 2025) for 67 rodmeter sensing elements; a $697 million purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (November 2024) for 30 underwater rodmeters; a $661.4 million purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (May 2025) for repair of underwater sea valves; and recurring DLA delivery orders for power distribution panels, engine fuel tanks, and condenser-separator water units supporting the T-38 aircraft program. The company also supplies 5KW engine assemblies to Army Communications Electronics Command (multiple awards under $300 thousand each).

Vehicle posture: Dewey Electronics holds a dense portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA and Army agencies. Named vehicles include DAAB0701DC014 (72 task orders, $30.9 million combined potential value), DAAK0196D0072 (23 task orders), N0002482C6345 (21 task orders), SPE7LX15D0166 (13 task orders, $627 thousand), and SPE4A717D0148 (11 task orders, $226 thousand). Recent IDC awards under $350 thousand ceiling include contracts for preformed packing (March 2026), electrical fuel pumps (March 2026), gaskets (January 2026), circuit breaker boxes (October 2025), electrical connector plugs (October 2025), Window Dial components (October 2025), and generator controls (September 2025)—all single-award vehicles with one-year terms or until ceiling is reached.

Activity trajectory: Awards per year have remained relatively stable at 79–89 annually across 2022–2025, with 13 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value stands at $101.8 million across all awards, though combined dollars obligated total $213 million (209% of potential value), indicating substantial invoice history and reorder velocity. Only eight awards face ultimate completion within the next 24 months ($2.1 million combined potential value), posing minimal recompete cliff risk.

Subcontract footprint: Dewey Electronics subcontracts to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (ship alteration work for LCS-Class and DDG-51 construction, May 2024–August 2024) and The Boeing Company (PBL material for Electra/Hydra/Mechanical programs, August 2025). Sub engagement is negligible by volume and dollar share.

Top NAICS categories—Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (91 awards); Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (77 awards); Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (68 awards); Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (64 awards)—and top PSC codes—Navigational Instruments (154 awards); Generators and Generator Sets (128 awards); Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (94 awards)—reflect the company's role as a high-frequency supplier of commodity and specialized electrical hardware and underwater instrumentation to military logistics and sustainment.
