The Whitmor CO. Inc.

The Whitmor CO. Inc., headquartered in Revere, Massachusetts, manufactures electrical components and power distribution systems for defense logistics and naval applications, competing as a prime contractor (98% of awards) on full-and-open Defense Logistics Agency and Navy purchase orders with no set-aside posture. The company is a for-profit manufacturing enterprise with no SBA certifications, registered in the System for Award Management since December 2001.

Whitmor's federal footprint centers on small-dollar component procurement across a narrow, concentrated customer base. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates activity with 201 awards (79% of total award count) carrying combined potential value of $2.2 million, followed distantly by DLA Aviation (58 awards, $439 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (45 awards, $642 thousand), and Naval Supply Systems Command (53 awards, $314 thousand). The top five customers account for approximately 79% of all awards. Dollar magnitude and award count rankings align closely — DLA Land and Maritime anchors both. Whitmor's product portfolio is narrow and repeating: power distribution panels (the single most common deliverable across the award record), gaskets, electrical insulators, circuit breaker boxes, distribution boxes, power transformers, semiconductors, and light lenses. Recent prime awards include a $52,368 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for a power supply (April 2026), a $20,802 order from DLA Land and Maritime for power distribution panels (May 2025), a $28,648 small-business-set-aside from Naval Sea Systems Command for a TE L400 panel without breakers (April 2025), and a $23,000 DLA order for power distribution panels (April 2025). Whitmor competes on full-and-open procurements; two awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations despite the vendor's lack of formal SBA certifications.

Activity has grown modestly year over year — ten awards in 2022 to twenty-six in 2025 — but the combined potential value remains flat, reflecting the consistently small dollar magnitude of individual purchase orders. Only two awards ($53 thousand combined potential value) face completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Whitmor also serves in a subcontractor role to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on DDG 51-class ship construction and door release push-button installations, to Raytheon on AN/SPY-6 hardware production, to Lockheed Martin on circuit breaker box assemblies, to General Atomics on panel work, and to Prism Maritime on ship combat system alterations and distribution panel installations. The company operates from its manufacturing facility in Revere and performs all work at that single location. The vendor's teaming relationships are routed through major prime contractors for naval shipbuilding and combat-system integration programs rather than through smaller specialty subs. Whitmor's federal revenue is dominated by commoditized electrical component procurement through DLA's purchase-order system, with limited diversification outside defense logistics and the Navy, no presence on government-wide vehicles or IDIQs, and no exposure to civilian agencies.
