Thomas Electronics, Inc.

Thomas Electronics, Inc., doing business as Thomas Electronics Of New York Incorporated, is a for-profit manufacturer of specialized electronic components and repair services based in Clyde, New York, operating as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designation across its prime footprint. The company has been a federal contractor since at least 2001 and holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center for B-2 bomber cathode ray tube repair services valued at $1.76 million, running through March 2030.

Thomas Electronics' customer concentration sits almost entirely with defense logistics and military branches. The top five funding agencies account for 91% of recent awards by count and 95% by potential value, dominated overwhelmingly by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (395 awards, $22 million combined potential value). The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (23 awards, $4.1 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (34 awards, $2.8 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (14 awards, $2.3 million) round out the major customers. The vendor serves 17 distinct customer agencies in total. Customer concentration by dollar value tracks award count closely; DLA Land and Maritime anchors the portfolio.

The capability portfolio centers on manufacturing and supplying electron tubes, cathode ray tubes, display units, electrical coils, and related electronic components for military platforms, with specialized repair and refurbishment services on in-service systems. Representative prime work includes a $339,603 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order (October 2023) for delivery of 66 electron tubes; a $294,195 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order (October 2023) under total small business set-aside for electron tube delivery; a $187,923 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order (February 2022) for electron tube delivery; a $783,000 Air Force Sustainment Center delivery order (March 2022) for electronic component repair; and a $217,872 DLA Construction and Equipment purchase order (July 2022) for display unit delivery. Notably, Thomas Electronics competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business, which recurs in the award history) and full-and-open designations on its prime contracts, though the majority carry no set-aside.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year — 25 awards in 2022 to 29 in 2024, declining to 22 in 2025 and dropping to 4 in the first quarter of 2026. Only four awards (combined potential value $351 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $33.8 million against obligated dollars of $36.5 million, indicating that invoiced work has slightly exceeded potential ceilings in the aggregate.

In its subcontractor role, Thomas Electronics delivers display units and electronic components to Thales Defense & Security Inc. on multiple sub orders (five documented sub awards from 2025 supporting the Optimized Top Owl program), electron tubes and components to Honeywell International Inc. (three documented sub orders from 2025), cathode ray tube assemblies to Elbitamerica Inc., and repair services on APN-241 radar components to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. Sub work accounts for only 3% of recent awards by count.

Thomas Electronics holds positions on multiple Air Force and Navy indefinite delivery contracts, including IDC FA811718D0011 with 10 task orders ($1.3 million combined potential value), IDC SPM7M508D7034 with 9 task orders ($173 thousand), IDC FA811916D0003 with 6 task orders ($185 thousand), and BOA N0038322GZK01 and BOA SPE4A122G0014 with 6 and 5 task orders respectively. The vendor's award footprint is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories — Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (390 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (33 awards) — and in Electron Tubes and Associated Hardware (426 awards under PSC code).
