Carris Reels Of California Inc.

Carris Reels Of California Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Madera, California, manufactures and supplies wooden and plywood reels of various sizes to the federal government as a prime contractor competing in the full-and-open market with no set-aside designations across its entire award footprint. The vendor operates a secondary manufacturing location in Berenda, California and has maintained federal registration since 2006.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All 78 awards in the source data are firm fixed-price purchase orders for industrial wooden and plywood reels across a limited range of product specifications—18-inch plywood reels, 24-inch wood reels, 30-inch wood reels, and custom dimensional specifications. Recent representative awards include a $14,190 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Distribution on February 20, 2026, for 30-inch wood reels; a $3,337.50 order on April 6, 2026, for 18-inch plywood reels; and a $2,630.25 order on February 11, 2025, for 24-inch wood reels. Individual order values consistently range from under $1,000 to approximately $14,000. The vendor also supplied wooden reels (42-inch and 30-inch flange diameter) to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for $6,695.98 in June 2022.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution accounts for 76 of 78 awards (97% of awards, $244 thousand of combined potential value). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command each hold a single award. The combined potential value across all 78 awards is $255 thousand, with obligated dollars running at 102% of potential value, reflecting the vendor's consistent fulfillment at or slightly above ceiling across routine replenishment purchases.

Activity has remained flat. The vendor averages approximately five awards per year, with 2022 through 2025 each carrying five awards and 2026 showing three awards year-to-date (representing three months of activity). No parent vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs are present in the award footprint—all work flows through transactional DLA Distribution purchase orders. The vendor does not subcontract and holds no subcontractor roles on other prime contracts or grants in the source data. The narrow customer base, flat award velocity, small order values, and absence of recurring vehicles or blanket purchase arrangements indicate Carris Reels operates as a specialized commodity supplier to a single dominant customer, with limited growth trajectory or competitive breadth in the federal market.
