CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp

CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Garden Grove, California, manufactures and supplies rapid-setting concrete, heat-resistant concrete formulations, and specialized cementitious repair materials to the Defense Logistics Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis (100% of recent awards), with no SBA set-aside designations on its core vehicle despite qualifying as a small business.

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated in two product areas: rigid concrete repair materials (PSC Mineral Construction Materials, Bulk) and specialized rapid-setting cement formulations engineered for time-critical military infrastructure repair. Concrete capability work centers on airfield runway restoration, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft facility repairs, and ballistic-crater recovery. Representative prime awards include a $2.046 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract with DLA Troop Support (awarded March 2025, running through January 2027) for rapid-setting and heat-resistant concrete development with comparative testing scope added by modification; a $999,921 SBIR Phase II definitive contract (awarded April 2026) for rapid-setting and heat-resistant concrete for remote and strategically significant airfields, completing April 2027; a $300,000 definitive contract (awarded March 2026) for logistics-driven rapid runway recovery from ballistic missile craters using self-consolidating concrete; and a $99,946 SBIR Phase I contract (awarded September 2025, completing September 2026) for increasing shelf life of rapid-setting cements under DLA Topic DLA25D-006.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 48 awards and $16.1 million (67% of combined potential value), with an additional 5 awards and $3.5 million flowing through the DLA Troop Support parent account. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center accounts for 24 awards and $2.7 million, reflecting ongoing research and testing of CTS Cement formulations (including controls for Air Force European-manufactured concrete certification). Together, these two DLA components and the Corps of Engineers account for 77 of 83 awards (93% coverage) and approximately 95% of combined potential value.

The vendor operates primarily through a single-award indefinite delivery contract — the $6.999 million DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment IDV (SPE8E615D0008), awarded October 26, 2023, running through October 25, 2028 — which generates ongoing delivery orders for rigid concrete repair materials. Recent delivery orders under this vehicle range from $11,421 to $62,235 and include work through November 2025. The vendor also holds three additional single-award IDVs with smaller combined values: SPE8E618D0002 ($219 thousand in potential value, 11 task orders), SPM8EG10D0001 ($182 thousand, 10 task orders), and SPE8E624D0001 ($100 thousand, 4 task orders). A Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers (W912HZ10A0012) carries 14 task orders and $485 thousand in potential value.

Activity is cyclical and concentrated in SBIR Phase work. The vendor received 8 awards in 2022, dropped to 2 in 2023 and 2 in 2024, rebounded to 8 in 2025, and has received 4 in early 2026. Four awards with combined potential value of $3.4 million carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. Total combined potential value across all 83 awards is $23.9 million, with $6.9 million obligated (29% of ceiling), reflecting typical concrete-products procurement patterns of multiple small delivery orders against standing IDVs. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint; all awards are prime.
