About the company
Clairco Tool Co, a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Davenport, Iowa, supplies precision cutting tools, industrial machinery components, and specialized machine fluids to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint across a 282-award portfolio spanning from 2002 to the present.
Customer concentration is extreme and non-negotiable: the Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command accounts for 257 of 282 awards (91% of the portfolio) and $6.51 billion of the $6.52 billion combined potential value. The remaining five customer agencies — the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Comptroller, Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal, Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Rock Island, and the Department of the Army — collectively represent 25 awards and $128 thousand in potential value. This concentration reflects Clairco's core mission: supplying APEX 7030 VTX semi-synthetic machining and grinding cutting oil, cutting tools, machine tool accessories, thread gages, broach sets, spindles, carbide boring bars, and related components to support Army ground combat and tactical vehicle maintenance and manufacturing at Rock Island Arsenal and subordinate facilities.
Clairco holds positions on two standing indefinite delivery contracts with TACOM. The most recent, awarded August 28, 2024, carries a $556,819.80 ceiling running through August 28, 2027, and is set aside for small business, with two task orders already issued (August 28, 2024, $167,650; May 22, 2025, $127,404.40) for APEX 7030 VTX products. The predecessor IDC, awarded August 31, 2022, with a $275,000 ceiling and August 30, 2024 completion date, supported three delivery orders totaling $218,933.50. Beyond the IDCs, Clairco places the bulk of its volume through blanket purchase agreements: BPA W9098S15A0016 carries 134 task orders ($783 thousand combined potential value), and BPA W9098S11A0004 carries 34 task orders ($378 thousand combined potential value). Recent representative work includes a $48,600 small-business-set-aside purchase order to sharpen and coat broach sets (June 3, 2024), a $34,546.52 small-business-set-aside purchase order for Coromant Capto damped-to-arbor components (March 11, 2024), and a $32,579.86 full-and-open purchase order for sixteen involute gages supporting the M1A1 torsion bar program (August 29, 2024).
Award activity has grown from 3 awards in 2022 to 12 in 2024, with only 1 award in 2026 year-to-date (data current October 15, 2026). One award with combined potential value of $133 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk. The vendor's capability footprint is tightly bounded: cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing accounts for 188 awards; machinery and equipment repair and maintenance for 38 awards; and petroleum lubricating oil and grease manufacturing for 8 awards. Clairco's federal registration dates to 2001, and the vendor has sustained continuous small business presence across its entire TACOM relationship, competing both under set-aside and unrestricted full-and-open solicitations.
