Basic Rubber And Plastics CO.

Basic Rubber And Plastics CO., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Walled Lake, Michigan, supplies rubber and plastic components—gaskets, seals, brackets, cushions, mounting plates, bumpers, protective caps, nonmetallic tubing, and packing materials—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements. The vendor holds no SBA certifications and operates from a single facility; recent activity shows a mix of small-dollar purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides at the Defense Logistics Agency.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in the Defense Logistics Agency's supply-chain functions. The top five customers account for 96% of recent awards by count: DLA Land and Maritime leads with 18,127 awards ($179.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (15,313 awards, $164.7 million), DLA Aviation (9,980 awards, $100 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (5,241 awards, $27.6 million), and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (646 awards, $55.9 million). Dollars and volume align closely, indicating consistent small-order patterns across the customer base with no single outlier driving potential value. The vendor works almost entirely through DLA supply-chain channels; the single identified subcontractor role is a material supply engagement under a BAE Systems Land And Armaments prime as of July 2026.

Recent awards (June–July 2026) illustrate the transaction profile: purchase orders for individual components such as guided missile covers ($223,555.20, Total Small Business set-aside, 803 units, June 18, 2026), resilient weapon system mounts ($74,110.40, Total Small Business, July 15, 2026), nonmetallic special components ($62,370.00, Total Small Business, June 12, 2026), and skylight window seals ($50,530.00, no set-aside, July 16, 2026), alongside indefinite-delivery contracts with $350,000 ceilings awarded to DLA Land and Maritime in June–July 2026 for gaskets, cushioning pads, bumpers, and webbing straps under Total Small Business set-asides. Five IDIQ vehicles appear in the pipeline, each with one-year terms running through June–July 2027. Place of performance for all work is the Walled Lake facility.

Product category concentration spans gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing (12,771 awards in the portfolio), hardware manufacturing (10,945 awards), bolt/nut/screw manufacturing (4,956 awards), and aircraft parts manufacturing (3,617 awards). PSC coding mirrors this pattern: Packing and Gasket Materials (16,299 awards), Hardware Commercial (11,754 awards), Hardware Weapon System (2,246 awards), and Airframe Structural Components (2,231 awards). Activity has declined year over year—from 4,251 awards in 2022 to 1,431 through mid-2026—but the vendor maintains a dense transaction volume with DLA. Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is modest: 693 awards with combined potential value of $2.7 million reaching ultimate completion dates in that window, concentrated in the five $350,000-ceiling IDIQ vehicles maturing in mid-2027 and scattered small purchase orders completing through December 2026 and early 2027.
