B & J Machine LIMITED Partnership

B & J Machine LIMITED Partnership, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Williamstown, Kentucky, supplies precision valve components and fluid control devices to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open and small-business set-aside procurement channels.

B & J Machine is a for-profit limited liability partnership and registered woman-owned small business that manufactures industrial valves, fluid power components, and related assemblies. The vendor competes under both full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations, with recent awards split roughly 60% unrestricted and 40% set-aside. The company has been in the federal contracting space since 1996.

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 319 of 342 prime awards (99% coverage) and $3.4 million of $3.6 million combined potential value. The remaining activity splits among DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (14 awards, $225 thousand), the Naval Supply Systems Command (1 award, $624), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (2 awards), and a generic DLA line (2 awards). All work is purchase orders or delivery orders; no indefinite-delivery vehicles sit in the prime footprint beyond two recent single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime.

B & J Machine's capability portfolio centers on valve and fluid control component manufacturing. Representative recent work includes a $46,977 total-small-business-set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (September 2025) for 420 units of locking devices for valves; a $39,728 unrestricted purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment (May 2025) for 189 pneumatic oil guns; a $31,640 unrestricted purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2026) for 267 units of valve locking devices; a $21,868 total-small-business-set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2025) for STEM fluid valves; and a $14,484 unrestricted purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) for seat valves. The vendor also holds a newly awarded single-award IDC (January 2026, $350,000 ceiling, one year or until expended) with DLA Land and Maritime for locking devices, expected to generate approximately three orders annually, and a prior single-award IDC (December 2024, $250,000 annual ceiling, through December 2025) for locking devices under total small business set-aside with the same customer.

Category concentration is pronounced across NAICS and PSC codes. The vendor's 100+ awards under Industrial Valve Manufacturing (NAICS, primary) and 86 awards under Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing reflect the core business. PSC 4820 (Nonpowered Valves) dominates at 283 awards; remaining volume scatters across lubrication equipment and hose fittings. The source NAICS codes include Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (78 awards) and Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (15 awards), suggesting some ancillary product lines, though valve and fluid control components remain the primary footprint.

Activity has contracted in recent years. The vendor recorded 22 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 16 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 2 year-to-date in 2026, tracking volatile but low-volume procurement patterns typical of purchase-order-driven supplier relationships. Combined potential value stands at $3.6 million with $2.5 million obligated (69% execution rate). One award (combined potential value $9 thousand) approaches completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor holds no subcontract work; 100% of activity is prime contracting. B & J Machine operates as a sole-source supplier to DLA Land and Maritime, holding no positions on government-wide vehicles (GWACs, BPAs) or multiagency IDIQs. All five parent-vehicle line items in the portfolio are legacy DLA single-award IDCs now mostly expired, with the newest IDC awards (January and December 2024/2026) representing the current vehicle position.
