Aronson Manufacturing, LLC

Aronson Manufacturing, LLC is a Clinton, Iowa-based manufacturer of precision mechanical components that sells small-dollar purchase orders exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor on full-and-open solicitations with no small business set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation structured as a manufacturer of goods, competing in hardware manufacturing (NAICS 332510) and miscellaneous power transmission equipment and fasteners (PSC categories for pins, fittings, bushings, and related components).

All eighteen recent awards are prime purchase orders awarded by DLA's Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions for firm fixed-price delivery of specialized mechanical parts. The two customer divisions account for equal shares of the portfolio: DLA Land and Maritime has awarded ten purchase orders worth $12 thousand combined potential value, while DLA Aviation has awarded eight purchase orders worth $10 thousand combined potential value. Representative recent work includes a $2,875 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2026) for an access cover, a $2,071.68 purchase order from DLA Aviation (December 2025) for straight headed pins, a $3,835 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2024) for a shaft collar, and a $6,615 purchase order from DLA Aviation (October 2024) for metering landing pins under Total Small Business set-aside. Work spans adapters, bushings, collars, gears, hubs, nuts, pins, pistons, shafts, spacers, and tube components, all performed at Aronson's manufacturing facility in Low Moor, Iowa.

The vendor has no subcontract footprint and holds no seats on government-wide contract vehicles, IDIQs, BPAs, or GWACs. Award activity shows three orders in 2026 year-to-date, eight in 2025, and seven in 2024, with all eighteen awards carrying combined potential value of $22 thousand and one hundred percent of that value obligated across completed or near-completion deliveries (ultimate completion dates range from April 2025 to June 2026). The vendor's federal engagement is narrow in scope — exclusively DLA mechanical components supply — and operates at sub-$7,000 per-order price points with no parent vehicle architecture or multi-agency footprint.
