Basic Rubber And Plastics CO.

Basic Rubber And Plastics CO., a for-profit manufacturer based in Walled Lake, Michigan, supplies rubber and plastic components—gaskets, seals, brackets, cushions, packing materials, and nonmetallic hardware—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with occasional Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor holds no SBA designations.

The award footprint is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers account for 96% of recent awards by count: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (17,687 awards, $168.5 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (15,313 awards, $164.7 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (9,775 awards, $97.3 million), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (5,185 awards, $27.2 million), and Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (640 awards, $55.9 million). Customer concentration by award count and potential value track closely, confirming that the vendor's revenue base is anchored to DLA supply-chain work across all three operational domains—land platforms, maritime vessels, and aviation systems. The combined potential value across all 50,890 awards totals $6.66 billion, but only $193.8 million (3%) has been obligated, indicating a large tail of indefinite-delivery contracts with modest individual task-order values.

Primary NAICS classification is Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (339991), with supporting categories in Hardware Manufacturing (339999) and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722). The top PSC codes are Packing And Gasket Materials (16,125 awards) and Hardware, Commercial (11,584 awards). Recurring work includes small-dollar purchase orders for gaskets, seals, elastomer sheets, cushioning pads, mounting brackets, bumpers, grommets, and nonmetallic tubing—typical consumables and spare parts for military vehicles, aircraft, and shipboard equipment. Representative recent awards include a $34.22 thousand gasket purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (April 2026, ultimate completion August 2027), a $62.88 thousand splash-guard delivery order (April 2026, August 2026 completion), and a $23.25 thousand box-accessories order (April 2026).

Activity has declined year over year, from 4,251 awards in 2022 to 721 in 2026 (year-to-date through mid-April). This contraction likely reflects platform consolidation within DLA's supply-chain footprint or customer preference shifts toward fewer, larger orders rather than the high-volume transactional model that characterized prior years. The vendor's four most recent indefinite-delivery contracts—each with a $350,000 ceiling and one-year terms expiring March–April 2027—anchor the immediate pipeline. Awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months total 620 with $2.2 million combined potential value, representing modest recompete exposure.

The vendor subcontracts minimally; only one sub-award surfaces in the source, a January 2026 delivery order under DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC for bumper, isolator, and first-article components. Place of performance for all prime work is the Walled Lake facility. The vendor operates as a single-location supplier with no named parent company or subsidiaries, competing in full-and-open DLA procurements without set-aside shelter except where Total Small Business is designated by the contracting office.
