A And E Parts, Inc.

A And E Parts, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and supplier of mechanical and electrical components based in Bend, Oregon, operates as a small-business prime contractor furnishing parts and assemblies to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Department of the Navy through small-business-reserved and full-and-open purchase orders. The company does not hold SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other formal set-aside certifications; it competes predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements, with 100% of its recent awards as a prime contractor.

A And E Parts' customer footprint is concentrated within the defense supply chain, with DLA divisions accounting for 100% of tracked awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division represents the dominant customer by volume and dollars, with 35 awards totaling $189 thousand combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime issued 22 awards valued at $179 thousand. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command issued six awards worth $13 thousand. The company has performed work for these agencies continuously since at least 2012, with a notable uptick in award velocity: activity grew from a single award in 2016 to 21 awards in 2025 and 15 awards through mid-2026.

A And E Parts' capability portfolio centers on precision mechanical and electrical components for military equipment maintenance and repair. Representative products include annular ball bearings, valve bodies and valve parts kits, motor stators and motor control components, aircraft engine sensor ducts, clutch assemblies, linear AC parts kits, retaining rings, bushings, sleeves, threaded fasteners, and springs. Price points are consistently modest, ranging from under $1,000 to approximately $27,000 per order, reflecting routine component supply work. Example awards include a $24.76 thousand DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for a sleeve-and-slide component under Total Small Business set-aside (March 2026), a $20.7 thousand DLA Land and Maritime safety relief valve order under Total Small Business set-aside (October 2025), a $18 thousand DLA Aviation linear AC parts kit purchase order (December 2023), and a $13.86 thousand DLA Aviation tube assembly metal order (February 2026). All contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates typically twenty to thirty days after award.

Work is performed at the contractor's facility in Bend, Oregon. The vendor's award portfolio shows no parent contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs); all awards are direct purchase orders issued by DLA divisional procurement offices. Subcontracting activity is absent — the vendor operates 100% as a prime. By category concentration, the vendor's awards cluster within Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (12 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (10 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (6 awards), Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (6 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (5 awards).
