TX Technology LLC

TX Technology LLC, doing business as Chatlos Systems, manufactures electronic and mechanical components for Department of Defense logistics and sustainment operations, competing as a prime contractor exclusively on firm fixed-price purchase orders and single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency and select Air Force units. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Denville, New Jersey, with continuous System for Award Management registration since February 2001 and no SBA set-aside certifications; it competes full-and-open across its prime footprint, with occasional Total Small Business set-aside awards representing a small minority of recent work.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to DLA divisions. The top five customer entities account for 96% of awards by count, led overwhelmingly by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (156 awards, $4.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (47 awards, $304 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (23 awards, $324 thousand). However, potential-value rankings diverge significantly — the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center anchors $3.7 million across just three awards, reflecting higher-value component procurements, while most DLA Land and Maritime work consists of small individual purchase orders and delivery orders. Chatlos Systems holds six single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each capped at $250,000 to $350,000, which structure the majority of its order flow.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: pressure gauges, compressor units, switch assemblies, solenoid valves, electronic modules, filter elements, regulators, relays, manifold assemblies, and ventilating fans — all discrete electronic and mechanical spare parts procured through National Stock Numbers to support military equipment maintenance. Representative recent awards include a $159,322 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for a compressor unit (October 2024), a $55,674 Total Small Business set-aside for 56 solenoid valve units (September 2024), and a newly awarded $350,000 single-award IDC from DLA Land and Maritime for switch assembly components with an April 2026 start date.

Activity has been volatile year-to-year but recently accelerated — 19 awards in 2022, declining to seven in 2023, recovering to 14 in 2024, then eight in 2025 and 11 in 2026 through mid-April. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all 247 awards in the source are prime contracts. Work is performed exclusively at the Denville, New Jersey facility. The combined potential value across all recent awards sits at $11.3 million, with $6.7 million obligated (60% of potential), indicating a vendor with small-order volume and limited contract runway relative to its customer base.
