Trans-Continental Aviation

Trans-Continental Aviation, doing business as Cole, Linda, is a woman-owned small business registered with the U.S. federal government since February 2002. Operating as a sole proprietorship, the company specializes in providing various electrical and electronic components to defense agencies. Trans-Continental Aviation primarily supplies items such as switches, circuit breakers, relays, connectors, transformers, and other small electronic parts crucial for military equipment and systems. The company's consistent engagement with federal contracts, particularly with defense-oriented agencies, suggests a focus on meeting specific technical requirements for military applications.

The majority of Trans-Continental Aviation's federal contract awards come from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), specifically its Land and Maritime division, with occasional contracts from the DLA Aviation division. The company has fulfilled numerous purchase orders for a wide range of components, including push buttons, electromagnetic relays, radio frequency coils, power transformers, variable resistors, capacitors, and various types of switches (toggle, pressure, rotary). Other items supplied include electronic modules, power supplies, connectors, and specialized parts like dirt deflectors and piston rings. Most contracts are relatively small in value, typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, indicating that Trans-Continental Aviation specializes in providing specific, possibly hard-to-source components rather than large-scale systems. Despite being classified as a woman-owned small business, the contracts awarded to Trans-Continental Aviation do not typically carry set-aside designations, suggesting the company competes successfully in open market procurements.
