Allied Defense Industries, LLC

Allied Defense Industries, LLC, doing business as AMS Distribution, is a small business prime contractor supplying mechanical and electromechanical components—fasteners, seals, valves, hose assemblies, cable assemblies, hydraulic systems, and aircraft-related hardware—predominantly to the Defense Logistics Agency through full-and-open purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes almost exclusively without set-aside restrictions across its broad footprint, with Total Small Business set-asides appearing on roughly 20% of recent awards and representing modest individual contract values; the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal volume flows through unrestricted DLA supply-chain procurements.

Headquartered in Kearneysville, West Virginia, Allied Defense Industries operates as a limited liability company focused on hardware manufacturing (NAICS 332323), bolt/nut/screw manufacturing (NAICS 325910), and gasket/packing device manufacturing (NAICS 326290). The vendor's recent award portfolio spans 16,355 contracts and sub-awards valued at $322.5 million combined potential value, with 79% already obligated as of the source snapshot. Activity has declined sharply: 841 awards in 2022, 1,262 in 2023, 1,065 in 2024, falling to 539 in 2025 and 179 year-to-date through mid-2026. This trajectory and the recompete cliff—131 awards totaling $7.9 million in combined potential value maturing within the next twenty-four months—signal sustained ordering activity but a contracting demand environment.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime controls 46% of awards (7,552 tasks, $106.9 million) and DLA Aviation controls 22% (3,584 tasks, $97.9 million), together accounting for 68% of awards and 64% of potential value. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal ranks third by dollars ($32.4 million across 198 awards) despite placing far fewer orders, reflecting mid-five-figure assembly contracts alongside routine fastener procurements. Naval Supply Systems Command (279 awards, $19.3 million) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (1,513 awards, $12.7 million) round out the active tier. Across all 42 customer agencies, DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation dominate recurring demand, with Naval Sea Systems Command, Army Contracting Command Warren, and Naval Air Systems Command providing episodic high-value tasking.

The vendor's parent vehicle position reflects the fragmented nature of DLA supply-chain contracting. No single blanket purchase agreement or IDIQ carries more than 42 task orders; the top vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement W56HZV13AJ009, generated $3.7 million across 42 tasks. The vendor holds five single-award indefinite delivery contracts awarded in 2026—three with DLA Land and Maritime ($350,000 ceiling each) and one with DLA Aviation ($2.5 million ceiling through May 2029)—all carrying one-year terms or completion-by-order limits. Most orders flow as individual purchase orders and delivery orders rather than parent-vehicle tasks, reflecting DLA's reliance on standing small business set-asides and simplified acquisition procedures. The $2.5 million DLA Aviation IDIQ for Power Control Assembly Fluid components (NSN 1680-015577523) represents the vendor's largest active vehicle, awarded June 8, 2026 to expand the qualified supplier base beyond Boeing and BSC.

The vendor's capability framing is grounded entirely in represented awards. Recent named prime work includes a $982,155 definitive contract with DLA Land and Maritime for overhaul kits (July 2026), a $306,885 purchase order from DLA Aviation for filter recharge packages (May 2026), a $221,643 Total Small Business set-aside with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for lighting fixtures (June 2026), and dozens of sub-$50,000 fastener and component orders monthly. The vendor also supplies to Naval Sea Systems Command ($58,624 bearing supplies, June 2026) and Army Contracting Command Warren (manifold assemblies, electronic component assemblies, and ED diagnostic units ranging from $89,000 to $277,000 in late 2025 and early 2026). Across this portfolio, parts-per-million quality, compliance with military drawings and NSNs, and rapid fulfillment of DLA inventory requirements dominate the competitive posture rather than system integration or proprietary design.

The vendor's prime-to-sub split is 100% prime (16,351 of 16,355 awards); sub-awards comprise four recorded tasks, including a single named December 2025 sub with Amentum Services for Egyptian Navy O-ring material. This reflects a direct-supply business model with minimal teaming or subcontracting activity. Place of performance is predominantly Kearneysville, West Virginia with occasional overseas fulfillment points (Uxbridge, UK for certain aircraft seat and component orders; Nagasaki, Japan for naval repair ship deliveries). The vendor holds no memberships on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA schedules, or other multi-agency vehicles; all sourcing flows through individual agency RFQs, simplified purchases, and set-asides.
