Acrodyne Mfg. Co

Acrodyne Mfg. Co, a Subchapter S corporation and small business manufacturer based in Obetz, Ohio, supplies precision mechanical parts and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across over 800 federal purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing under full and open procurement without set-aside designation.

The company's federal footprint consists almost entirely of direct DLA prime awards, with 100 percent of recent contracts flowing to DLA divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Troop Support Hardware divisions account for the overwhelming majority of activity. DLA Aviation has issued 198 awards (combined potential value $694 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime 215 awards ($686 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware 382 awards ($309 thousand). This concentration reflects Acrodyne's role as a high-volume, low-dollar supplier to DLA's spare-parts ecosystem rather than a prime on large systems or sustainment contracts. Combined potential value across all 805 awards reaches $1.7 million, with $1 million obligated to date.

Acrodyne's product portfolio centers on small mechanical components and fasteners: machine keys, Woodruff keys, pins (straight, cotter, grooved), nuts (plain hexagon, self-locking, union), washers (flat, lock, key), bolts, spacers, sleeves, covers, retainers, and specialized assemblies. Representative purchase orders include a $5,874 order for fluid filter covers (DLA Land and Maritime, November 2023), a $612 thousand order for arresting beam pad assemblies (DLA Land and Maritime, August 2023), a $9,920 order for flexible pipeline spacers (DLA Land and Maritime, August 2022), and multiple orders in the $1,000 to $9,000 range for keys, nuts, washers, and pins. The source notes contract values have historically ranged from $94 to $612,000, with firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders predominating. Acrodyne operates without subcontractors and performs all work at its Obetz facility.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years — 91 awards in 2022, 69 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and only 3 awards so far in 2026. This trajectory suggests either saturation of immediate DLA spare-parts demand or competitive pressure. One award with an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months carries $5 thousand in combined potential value, presenting minimal recompete risk. Acrodyne holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA: two valued at $250,000 each (one for locking hasps awarded by DLA Land and Maritime in October 2023, one for aircraft hardware pins awarded by DLA Aviation in April 2023, running through March 2028) and one expired IDC for Woodruff keys (August 2022). The company has no presence on government-wide vehicles, schedules, or multi-agency GWACs — its entire franchise sits on DLA indefinite delivery contracts and individual purchase orders.
