Usmilcom, Inc.

Usmilcom, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in Santa Ana, California, procures specialized telecommunications equipment, cables, fiber optic systems, and test sets for the Department of Defense and related federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of awards). The company holds dual small business certifications expiring April 21, 2028, and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open categories, with set-aside activity concentrated in 8(a) sole source and Total Small Business designations.

Usmilcom's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense logistics and naval operations. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 45% of recent awards: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads with 80 awards valued at $5.4 million combined potential, followed by the United States Marine Corps (56 awards, $1.2 million), the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command (30 awards, $975 thousand), DLA Aviation (28 awards, $71 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (20 awards, $207 thousand). When ranked by potential value, the Naval Air Warfare Center emerges as the single largest customer at $8.2 million across 17 awards, reflecting orders for fiber optic test sets and inspection systems under 8(a) sole source IDCs. DLA Land and Maritime remains the second-largest by dollars. The company has worked with 118 distinct federal agencies across 480 recent awards, indicating broad but shallow penetration outside the defense core.

Capability framing centers on specialized telecommunications hardware: the source lists concrete deliverables across fiber optic inspection systems, fiber optic test sets, special purpose cables, cleaning sticks and connectors, electrical test sets, fiber optic converters, calibration services, and related passive infrastructure components. Representative examples include a $4.47 million 8(a) sole source definitive contract awarded by Naval Air Warfare Center in September 2024 for additional quantities of fiber optic test sets with completion through August 2026; a $1.41 million 8(a) sole source IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for special purpose cables running through December 2027; and a $1.34 million 8(a) sole source IDC with Naval Air Systems Command for fiber optic test sets through November 2027. A notable outlier is a $1.22 million parking garage support services delivery order from the Export-Import Bank of the United States awarded September 2024, which represents diversification outside the telecommunications core.

Vehicle position spans three primary structures. Usmilcom holds four active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and Naval Air Warfare Center, valued collectively at approximately $4.15 million and running through December 2027. The company sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which accounts for 165 task orders valued at $3.7 million combined potential — notably broader than the IDC portfolio and spanning diverse agencies including the Air Force Materiel Command, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Export-Import Bank. Three named IDCs specific to cable and test-set procurement (SPE7M823D0001, N6833523D0006, N6833523D0007) account for 22 task orders and $1.7 million in combined potential value, though these appear to be delivery-order roll-ups rather than true parent vehicles. Most awards are small individual purchase orders and delivery orders, with median values under $40 thousand.

Activity trajectory shows sustained but modest growth: 13 awards in 2022 rising to 21 in 2024, then moderating to 19 in 2025 and 11 through April 2026. Two awards totaling $4.5 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing modest recompete risk concentrated in the fiber optic test-set domain. Combined potential value across all 480 awards stands at $35.4 million, with $20.5 million obligated (58% cash-out rate). First award in the source data dates to April 2004, indicating sustained albeit niche market presence over two decades.

Award category concentration is heavily skewed toward manufacturing and component supply. Top NAICS codes are Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (99 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (82 awards), Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (42 awards), and Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing (31 awards). PSC codes reinforce this profile: Wire and Cable, Electrical (58 awards), Cable Cord and Wire Assemblies for Communication Equipment (40 awards), and Electrical Hardware and Supplies (33 awards). This positioning reflects Usmilcom's role as a specialized component supplier rather than an integrator or services provider. GSA Schedule labor rates span $23.05 to $42.13 per hour across ten categories (office clerk, floor technician, maintenance mechanic, pest control operator) with high-school education requirements and no security-cleared roles, indicating the company maintains ancillary labor capacity for facilities and administrative work but does not compete on cleared-labor vehicles.

Usmilcom operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company manufactures or procures equipment directly rather than orchestrating supply chains, and no named teaming relationships appear in the award record. Set-aside posture is characteristic of veteran-owned small-business strategy: 8(a) sole source designations cluster around high-value, sole-source fiber optic and cable contracts where the company has demonstrated unique capability or where the contracting officer has made an unusual determination of sole-source eligibility. Full-and-open and Total Small Business awards dominate by count and reflect commodity-style purchase orders for routine telecommunications components. The company does not compete predominantly under set-asides; rather, it leverages set-aside vehicles opportunistically for higher-value strategic contracts while competing openly for lower-value replenishment orders across a broad customer base.
