About the company
Better Engineering Manufacturing Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Joppatowne, Maryland, designs and delivers industrial parts washers, cleaning systems, and sanitizing equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across defense agencies. The company has maintained federal contractor registration since 2001 and operates exclusively in the prime role (100% of recent awards).
Better Engineering's concrete capability portfolio centers on aqueous parts cleaning systems, conveyorized parts washers, and heavy-duty industrial cleaning equipment built to military specifications. Representative work includes a $492.9 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Agriculture's Plant Protection and Quarantine for a Model C-24-S5-S3-DH "Cyberjet" conveyorized parts washing system configured with stainless steel Type 304 construction and PLC-based controls for sanitizing fruit fly enclosures at the Edinburg Rearing Facility (awarded September 2026, completion September 2027); a $214.8 thousand Air Force Materiel Command purchase order for two heavy-duty industrial parts washers with oil skimmer systems and emergency stop capabilities to Tinker Air Force Base (awarded August 2025); and a $344 thousand Naval Air Warfare Center definitive contract for aqueous parts cleaning systems Part Number RD-W-6000-P (awarded April 2025, no set-aside used). The company also delivers cleaning equipment under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule, including a $173 thousand delivery order to Air Combat Command and a $176.3 thousand delivery order to Global Strike Command, both total small business set-asides awarded in 2024.
Customer concentration splits between volume and dollar value. The Navy commands lead by order count — the Department of the Navy placed 178 awards and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces 125 awards — but these represent only $81 thousand combined potential value across the top five customers by count (56% coverage). In contrast, the top five customers by potential value (8% coverage) show the Naval Air Warfare Center anchoring $2 million across 35 awards, the Department of the Air Force at $1.5 million across 79 awards, and the Naval Sea Systems Command at $767 thousand across 19 awards. This divergence reflects Better Engineering's high-volume, low-dollar transactional footprint with operational Navy commands paired with larger systems sales to aviation maintenance and warfare centers.
Better Engineering operates across two primary vehicle platforms. The Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5778A (a GSA schedule) carries 382 task orders worth $4.4 million combined potential value, and the Multiple Award Schedule platform holds 47 task orders worth $2.4 million. Two indefinite delivery contracts — N6833598D0242 with 8 task orders and N6833507D0029 with 5 task orders worth $881 thousand — provide additional ordering channels. The broader NAICS footprint spans Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (451 awards) and Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing (419 awards), reflecting the company's dual role supplying both equipment and cleaning compounds across federal customers.
Recent activity runs flat — one award in 2026, four each in 2024 and 2025, two in 2023, four in 2022 — against a combined potential value of $70.9 million and obligated dollars of $30.6 million (43% realization rate). One award faces recompete within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $493 thousand. Better Engineering has no subcontract footprint and serves 90 distinct customer agencies, indicating a broad but shallow transactional relationship with the federal government focused on direct equipment and supplies sales under small business set-aside vehicles.
