American Metal Fabrication Inc.

American Metal Fabrication Inc., based in Wellington, Kansas, manufactures precision-fabricated metal tube assemblies, conduits, duct assemblies, and landing gear components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurement environments. The company is a small business manufacturer with no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding agencies account for 96% of recent awards, with DLA Land and Maritime commanding 590 awards valued at $9.3 million combined potential value and DLA Aviation placing 119 awards valued at $2.8 million. The remaining customer base includes DLA's parent entity, the Department of the Air Force, and a minor Air Force Sustainment Center component. DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation dominate both award volume and dollar share with minimal divergence between the two rankings.

Representative capability work spans metal component manufacturing across both set-aside and full-and-open categories. The vendor delivered a $65,305 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in May 2025 for metal tube assemblies (NSN 4710007921033) with ultimate completion by December 2027, and a $38,388 Total Small Business set-aside for air duct inlet elbows (NSN 1560008597112) to DLA Aviation in October 2024 with completion by December 2025. In full-and-open competition, the vendor earned a $33,872.50 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in June 2025 for metal tube assemblies, an $22,157.44 order in February 2026, and a $14,349.15 purchase order in June 2024, all for tube assemblies or hydraulic components. The vendor also delivered a $10,553.60 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in June 2026 for tube assembly metal components.

American Metal Fabrication holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 and typically spanning one-year periods. These IDCs enable the DLA to place delivery orders on an as-needed basis for tube assemblies, conduits, duct assemblies, hydraulic components, and landing gear parts. A July 2025 IDC award (Ultimate Completion Date July 18, 2026) covers tube assemblies under NSN 4610123834 with a Total Small Business set-aside designation. A May 2025 IDC award (Ultimate Completion Date May 28, 2026) for metal tube assemblies under NSN 4610122067 carries no set-aside designation. Earlier single-award IDCs awarded through October 2022 support both DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation procurement streams, with several designated as Total Small Business set-asides.

Award activity has averaged 29 orders annually over the past five years, with notable year-to-year variation: 47 awards in 2022, declining to 22 in 2023, then recovering to 31 in 2024 and 35 in 2025. The vendor's most recent award occurred in June 2026. Combined potential value across all 781 awards reaches $12.6 million, with $7.9 million obligated (62% realization rate). Eleven awards valued at $187 thousand are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting near-term recompete exposure. Top NAICS classifications emphasize Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (429 awards) and Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (151 awards); top PSC categories center on Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing (634 awards) and Airframe Structural Components (59 awards), with landing gear components and gas turbine parts rounding out secondary categories. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint, performing all work at its Wellington, Kansas facility.
