American Pacific Plastic Fabricators, Inc.

American Pacific Plastic Fabricators, Inc., doing business as Sterling Sleep Systems, is an SBA-certified HUBZone small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) that manufactures custom plastic and fabric products for military logistics and training applications as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Department of the Air Force. The company operates a 52,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Westminster, California, and competes predominantly under total small business and HUBZone set-asides across its Defense portfolio.

American Pacific Plastic Fabricators' product portfolio centers on specialized military equipment: balloon targets, warning streamers, shipping covers, antenna bags, mine slings, brake muzzle covers, tarpaulins, cargo and paratrooper deployment bags, life raft cases, drinking water bags, fitted vehicle covers, and LAMS (Liquid Ammunition Management System) liners. Recent representative awards include a $2.97 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force on September 13, 2024, for 25 LAMS liners for existing clamshell systems with ultimate completion by July 15, 2025; a $269,259 total small business set-aside definitive contract from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment on February 20, 2026, for 321 life raft cases to Defense Logistics Agency Distribution facility W1A8, completing February 16, 2027; a $272,875 purchase order from DLA Clothing and Textiles on February 5, 2026, for 18,500 drinking water bags manufactured to MIL-B-8571D specification with deliveries to logistics depots in Austin, Texas; Lansing, Michigan; and Pendergrass, Georgia through June 1, 2027; and a $150,133 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation on October 28, 2025, for 302 paratrooper deployment bags completing February 1, 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division accounts for 289 awards (98% of award count) valued at $5.8 million combined potential value, anchoring the vendor's footprint almost exclusively to DLA work. The Department of the Air Force contributes 1 award worth $3 million in potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime (10 awards, $932 thousand), DLA Clothing and Textiles (5 awards, $556 thousand), and DLA Aviation (2 awards, $172 thousand) round out the active set. The Air Force award is an outlier by dollar magnitude; the vendor's characteristic deal size sits in the $20,000 to $75,000 range across DLA purchase orders.

American Pacific Plastic Fabricators holds a position on a single indefinite delivery contract, Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8E714D0003 issued by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, against which 236 task orders have been issued carrying $867 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor also holds two additional single-award indefinite delivery contracts awarded in early 2026 by DLA Land and Maritime: a $350,000-ceiling HUBZone set-aside indefinite delivery contract (awarded March 24, 2026, completing March 24, 2027) for tarpaulins under NAICS 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills), and a $350,000-ceiling single-award indefinite delivery contract (awarded January 26, 2026, completing January 26, 2027) for fitted vehicle covers, neither anchoring significant task-order volume in the source data.

Activity is modest and volatile. The vendor recorded 6 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 through March. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $714 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The vendor's award footprint spans from 2008 to present, with combined potential value across all 324 prime awards standing at $10.6 million, of which $7.7 million (73%) has been obligated. The source's NAICS concentration reflects the customer base: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (241 awards), driven by the balloon target and training-device PSC; All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (40 awards); and smaller categories in foam and textile manufacturing. Product Service Code concentration tracks similarly, with Armament Training Devices (298 awards) and Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (5 awards) leading the list.
