SDVOSB · SBA-Certified | CAGE 9VCW2
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

Veteran-owned. Built to supply the mission.

Williwaw is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. We bridge the gap between government and industry through strategic partnerships — identifying, introducing, and distributing the technologies essential to advancing the Defense Industrial Base and operational effectiveness.

01 Who we are


Williwaw is a specialist distributor — not a general catalog house. Our line is deliberately narrow and deep: high-performance wire and cable for aviation, defense, and medical applications, and fire, thermal, and safety solutions for environments where failure isn't survivable.

We supply the Defense Industrial Base, and that work sets the standard for everything we ship — approved-source procurement, military packaging and marking, and a certificate of conformance that traces every lot back to the manufacturer that made it. Our commercial customers get the same discipline without the paperwork they don't need.

Williwaw is a veteran-founded company, and our SBA-certified SDVOSB status reflects that service. It also shapes what we sell and how we buy it: in the environments this material goes into — at sea, in the air, on the platform — a cable that fails or a fire that spreads is not a supply problem you solve next week.

That standard is why we operate the way we do: direct manufacturer relationships instead of drop-ship middlemen, verified revision levels instead of approximations, and one point of contact who stays on the order until it lands on the dock.

What sets us apart

  • Expert distribution of military-grade product — a curated selection across fire protection, mil-spec wire and cable, medical cable, and extreme-environment constructions.
  • Specialization excellence — we go deep on fire safety solutions and aviation wire and cable rather than wide on everything.
  • Direct manufacturer communication — direct access ensures seamless coordination and swift delivery through the entire order.
  • Made in the United States — we prioritize domestically manufactured product to support local industry and meet domestic-sourcing requirements.
  • Cutting-edge fire-resistant line — innovative solutions that set new benchmarks in safety and performance.

Why "Williwaw"

A williwaw is a sudden, violent downslope wind that comes off a mountain and hits the water without warning — the kind of condition equipment either survives or doesn't. It's the standard we source to.

02 Past performance


We quote and ship against Defense Logistics Agency solicitations, and we have delivered, accepted orders behind us — right revision, right paperwork, on time. That is table stakes, not a differentiator; plenty of distributors sell to DLA. What sets us apart is how we source and document every order: direct from approved manufacturers, with traceability confirmed before the quote goes out.

Delivery performance and references are available to qualified buyers on request. Request past performance detail.
