B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc.

B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc., located in Garden Grove, California, is a for-profit manufacturing company registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2002. The company specializes in producing industrial components, particularly fluid transfer system parts, fittings, adapters, and various machined hardware used primarily in military and aerospace applications. As a small business manufacturer, B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc. has established itself as a reliable supplier to federal agencies, with a particular focus on supporting the U.S. Department of Defense's maintenance and logistics operations.

The company has an extensive history of providing industrial components through prime and subcontract federal awards, predominantly with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation. Its contract awards consistently involve supplying specialized parts such as tube fittings, adapters, elbow tubes, reducers, couplings, plugs, and other machined hardware critical for military vehicle and aircraft maintenance. These awards are typically firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with contract values ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc. has served as a subcontractor to major defense firms including Textron Systems Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Dynamics Land Systems Inc., providing material purchases and expediting services. While most of its federal contract awards are not set aside, the company has been awarded some total small business set-aside contracts, demonstrating its ability to compete effectively in the federal marketplace.

B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc. holds several single award indefinite delivery contracts (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency, primarily focused on supplying specific industrial components. These IDVs include a $250,000 small business set-aside contract with DLA Aviation for machine thread plugs, a small business IDV with DLA Land and Maritime for straight pipe to tube adapters, and additional IDVs for items like straight flange adapters, pipe plugs, tube fitting plugs, and flared tube sleeves. These contracts typically have one-year performance periods and allow the DLA to place orders as needed, with minimum order requirements and maximum aggregate spending limits. The IDVs provide flexibility for the Defense Logistics Agency to procure critical spare parts and supplies on an as-needed basis, with B. & E. Manufacturing Co., Inc. serving as the prime contractor responsible for delivering specified components to various DLA depots domestically and internationally.
