Babington Technology, Incorporated

Babington Technology, Incorporated, a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, supplies liquid fuel combustion equipment, power inverters, atomizing chambers, cable assemblies, ignition systems, and field feeding system components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though a minority of recent awards carry total small business designations.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by purchase orders and delivery orders placed against indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support Subsistence, which account for 6,598 awards (88% of the vendor's active prime award count) and $183.1 million in combined potential value (82% of the vendor's total portfolio value). The top five customer agencies by award count—DLA Troop Support Subsistence, DLA (parent organization), DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and DLA Aviation—represent 97% of recent awards. Dollar concentration is similarly heavy on DLA Subsistence; the top customer by potential value (DLA Troop Support Subsistence) anchors 82% of portfolio dollars, while the next four customers combined account for less than 10%.

Babington Technology holds two active single-award indefinite delivery contracts. A $350,000 IDC with DLA Aviation, set aside for total small business and awarded March 17, 2026, extends through March 12, 2031 and is structured for approximately 12 orders per year with a guaranteed minimum of 6 units. A second $350,000 IDC with DLA Aviation, competitively awarded October 8, 2025, runs through October 7, 2030 without set-aside restrictions. Both vehicles target domestic and international Department of Defense depots and authorize procurement of multi-fuel burners, power inverters, atomizing chambers, cable assemblies, ignition systems, and field kitchen accessories. The vendor also places orders under larger parent IDCs including SPE3SE19D0002 (2,780 task orders, $16.2 million combined potential value), SPM3SE12D0001 (1,459 task orders, $20.6 million), and SPM3SD07D0003 (331 task orders, $15 million).

Award activity has declined significantly. The vendor averaged 603 awards per year in 2022, 651 in 2023, and 522 in 2024; activity dropped to 248 awards in 2025 and 59 awards year-to-date in 2026 (as of April 20, 2026). Combined potential value across all 7,448 prime awards totals $223.2 million, with $105.4 million obligated (47% of potential value). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal, with only three awards totaling $282 thousand facing ultimate completion by mid-2028.

Recent concrete work includes a $19,716.84 Army Forces Command definitive contract awarded April 20, 2026, for Airtronic burner maintenance training and train-the-trainer certification at Fort Bliss, Texas; a $253,263.56 DLA Distribution sole-source purchase order for specialized sink kits supporting U.S. Navy Medical Readiness Logistics Command expeditionary medical facilities, awarded May 5, 2025; a $32,679.83 Air Force Pacific Air Forces purchase order for four burner training tables, one burner drain table, and five heat-treated crates for delivery to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, awarded May 6, 2025; and a $183,472 DLA Subsistence total small business set-aside for eight self-heating griddles, awarded April 7, 2026.

The vendor subcontracts minimally; one sub-award appears in the source—work as a subordinate component of Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on an expeditionary ration prep shelter for an award dated December 27, 2024. NAICS concentration centers on Food Product Machinery Manufacturing (4,132 and 1,663 awards across two code variants), with secondary exposure to General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (547 awards). PSC concentration mirrors this, with Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment (2,807 awards) and Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (1,318 awards) representing the largest buckets.
