C & D Equipment Company, Inc.

C & D Equipment Company, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Altona, New York, manufactures and supplies precision mechanical components and industrial parts to the federal government as a prime contractor on over 1,000 purchase orders, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside footprint. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation registered with the federal government since April 2002.

C & D Equipment specializes in mechanical equipment manufacturing across pumps, valves, compressors, bearings, seals, filters, gears, and heat-exchange assemblies. Recent representative work includes a $25,000 antipilferage seal delivery to the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division (April 2026), a $140,000 reciprocating cylinder procurement for DLA Land and Maritime (June 2025), a $165,000 linear actuating piston supply to DLA Land and Maritime set aside for small business (July 2022), and a $23,472 naval condenser tube delivery to Naval Sea Systems Command designated as a total small business set-aside (December 2021). All work is performed at the vendor's manufacturing facility in Altona, with typical order values ranging from $1,000 to $165,000 and delivery cycles of 30 to 180 days depending on manufacturing complexity.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 683 awards (65% of volume, $8.7 million combined potential value) across more than twenty years of sustained supply relationships. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment and DLA Aviation represent the second and third tiers, with 133 and 144 awards respectively, while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 28 awards ($229 thousand combined potential value). These top five customers cover 96% of the award count and 98% of total dollars. The vendor serves thirteen distinct federal agencies, but the portfolio is functionally a DLA supplier base, with 73% of all awards routed through DLA divisions across Land and Maritime, Aviation, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, Troop Support Hardware, and smaller commodity pools.

C & D Equipment operates via direct purchase orders rather than contract vehicles. Two indefinite delivery contracts — SPM7M109D5W35 and SPM7M112D5B39 — carry seven and five task orders respectively with combined potential value of $29,000 and $28,000. The bulk of the award footprint reflects transactional purchase-order mechanics, each order standalone and awarded through full-and-open Request for Quote solicitations.

Activity has declined materially year over year. The vendor received 62 awards in 2022, 48 in 2023, 32 in 2024, recovered to 43 in 2025, and dropped to 9 in 2026 (first four months only). Combined potential value across all 1,043 awards totals $12.9 million, with $13.1 million obligated — indicating that invoiced revenue slightly exceeds ceiling commitments across the portfolio. The vendor is purely a prime contractor; it holds no subcontract positions.

The NAICS and PSC concentration reveals equipment-manufacturing depth. Air-conditioning and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing leads with 125 awards, followed by industrial valve manufacturing (93 awards), air and gas compressor manufacturing (76 awards), and fluid power pump manufacturing (66 awards). By product classification code, Power and Hand Pumps account for 151 awards, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Components for 134, and Valves for 123. This pattern reflects manufacturing-focused capability in fluid-handling, thermal-management, and mechanical-transmission components rather than systems integration or engineering services.
