About A&B Foundry, LLC
A&B Foundry, LLC, doing business as A&B Foundry, Machining & Fabrications, manufactures precision metal castings, machined components, and fabricated assemblies for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under SBA 8(a) certification and HUBZone qualification. The company is a minority-owned (Asian-Pacific American), self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation based in Franklin, Ohio, with over 70 years of foundry and machining heritage. A&B Foundry competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its prime footprint, with 97% of recent awards as prime contracts and 3% as subcontract work, and holds active 8(a) certification through September 12, 2031.
The Defense Logistics Agency dominates A&B Foundry's customer base. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 141 awards ($9.2 million combined potential value), while DLA Aviation holds 83 awards ($16.3 million), creating a concentration where these two divisions represent 224 of 284 total awards (79%) and account for $25.5 million of the $41.4 million combined portfolio value. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, the Air Force Materiel Command, and the Department of the Army round out the top five customers. This concentration reflects A&B Foundry's strategic role as a small business supplier of spare parts, ground support equipment, and aircraft components within the military logistics ecosystem. The Air Force work spans specialized manufacturing for the C-17A Globemaster III, including thrust reverser wrench kits and landing gear assemblies, while the Navy awards include alloy shaft and marine component procurement through Naval Sea Systems Command.
Representative prime work spans mechanical power transmission equipment (spur gearshafts, $75.4 thousand, March 2026), aircraft assemblies and extractors (housing assemblies valued at $457.3 thousand, October 2025; ruptured extractors as part of a $2 million indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation extending through June 2028), ground support kits (valued at $251.5 thousand, February 2025), hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuators (multiple awards ranging from $24.8 thousand to $232.8 thousand), filter elements and fluid components (recurring across DLA Land and Maritime), and specialized defense items such as piston rings ($998.3 thousand, January 2026), coupling assemblies, and ordnance components. A&B Foundry also holds two active Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contracts: one with DLA Troop Support for a vertically integrated manufacturing platform to produce obsolete and spare parts ($1.79 million, December 2024 through January 2027) and a second for B-2 Bomber coupling shear representative articles ($480.3 thousand, January 2025 through June 2026).
A&B Foundry holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA that establish the vendor as a reliable supplier of recurring components. The portfolio includes a $2.5 million IDC with DLA Aviation for B Kit Collectors (October 2025 through October 2030), a $1.83 million IDC for ground hop kits (January 2024 through January 2029), a $2 million IDC for ruptured extractors (June 2023 through June 2028), and several $250 thousand to $350 thousand IDCs for pneumatic tires, seal assemblies, coupling halves, and vehicle door handles issued between 2024 and 2026. The Army Materiel Command holds two blanket purchase agreements totaling $6 million (one expired October 2025; one extended through September 2028) for spare parts call orders. These vehicles demonstrate DLA's confidence in A&B Foundry's manufacturing capacity and quality, with task orders consistently issued against standing IDCs rather than through competitive solicitations.
Activity has grown steadily: 42 awards in 2022, 50 in 2023, 56 in 2024, and 68 in 2025, reflecting A&B Foundry's expanding market position. Thirty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.6 million, representing material recompete exposure. The top NAICS categories center on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (32 awards), small arms and ordnance accessories (24 awards), and saw blade and handtool manufacturing (20 awards), while the top PSCs are centrifugals and filters (17 awards), hand tool kits (16 awards), and miscellaneous aircraft accessories (12 awards).
Subcontract work is limited (3% of the portfolio). Named prime relationships include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on B-2 Tailpipes Phase II precision turned product manufacturing and hardware manufacturing (multiple awards from August 2025 onward), Beyond New Horizons LLC on Test Operations and Sustainment (TOS) II diffuser materials and fabrication (June 2025), and University of Dayton on virtual, augmented, and mixed reality readiness equipment (March 2025). A&B Foundry also acts as a sub-recipient on a National Center for Manufacturing Sciences grant addressing part obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources (October 2024).
A&B Foundry's federal footprint is almost exclusively defense manufacturing—casting, machining, and fabrication services for spare parts, ground support equipment, and aircraft components flowing through the military supply chain. The 8(a) set-aside posture is characteristic; the vendor rarely competes full-and-open. Concentration with DLA and the Air Force, coupled with the high volume of small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders against standing IDCs, positions A&B Foundry as a niche supplier of specialized military components rather than a broad systems integrator. The company's proven capability to meet FAT (First Article Test) and export-controlled manufacturing requirements, combined with consistent on-time delivery and small business certifications, has secured its role as a strategic supplier across multiple DLA mission areas through the 2028–2030 timeframe.
