AZE Supply Co Inc.

AZE Supply Co Inc., a Pennsylvania-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, supplies industrial piping components, fittings, flanges, valves, and related metallic and plastic accessories to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on purchase orders issued by defense logistics and naval commands. The company operates from headquarters in Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania with registered operations in San Diego, California and has maintained active federal registration since November 2001.

AZE Supply's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward two defense logistics agencies. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates the portfolio, accounting for 897 of 1,354 awards covered in the top-customer analysis (89% of award count) with $8.3 million in combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second with 209 awards and $1.8 million combined potential value, followed by the U.S. Coast Guard (91 awards, $538 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command (32 awards, $516 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency (125 awards, $300 thousand). These five customers represent 89% of awards by count and 89% of combined potential value. The dollar volume and award count rankings track closely, indicating consistent customer concentration.

AZE Supply's capability footprint centers on industrial pipe fittings and components for naval shipbuilding and maintenance. Representative work includes a $67,392 total small business set-aside delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command in April 2025 for quarter-inch tube delivery to U.S. Naval Base Sasebo, Japan; a $90,085 award from the same customer in February 2025 for 16-inch metallic pipes, reducers, and elbows to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington; a $149,850 Defense Logistics Agency order in February 2024 for vacuum breaker valves; and a $44,941.20 Naval Sea Systems Command award in June 2025 for lock nuts, clamps, flex hose, and piping materials for USS The Sullivans (DDG-68). The company has also delivered components to USS New York (LPD-21) and major naval facilities including Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Curtis Bay in Baltimore. Approximately 45 percent of awards are designated as total small business set-asides; the remainder compete through open competition. AZE Supply currently maintains two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and designated as total small business set-asides, focused on pipe couplings.

Activity has grown substantially year over year—from 8 awards in 2022 to 41 in 2025. The portfolio reflects a high volume of small transactional awards: the combined potential value across all 1,516 awards in the source data is $12.9 million, while combined dollars obligated total $24.9 million (193% of combined potential value), indicating that obligated funding on executed orders has exceeded stated ceiling values, a pattern typical of supply contracts where multiple delivery orders accumulate against IDCs. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months includes three awards with combined potential value of $84 thousand—a minimal recompete exposure. AZE Supply holds one named sub-award as of April 2025: a USS PORTER (DDG-78) FY25 EDSRA FFP component supplied under Metro Machine Corp. The company's primary NAICS categories are Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (393 awards), Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (371 awards), and Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (189 awards); its primary PSCs are Pipe, Tube And Rigid Tubing (622 awards) and Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, And Railing Fittings (602 awards).
