About the company
Custom Materials Inc., doing business as C M I Group, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio that supplies electrical insulation components and mechanical assemblies to the Defense Department as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation despite its small disadvantaged business status.
The company specializes in manufacturing electrical insulation products including insulator plates, insulator beads, insulator bushings, insulation sheets, nylon insulators, and mechanical components such as mounting brackets, bearing pads, handle assemblies, drive assemblies, and supplemental armor. Representative recent prime work includes a $206,772 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (awarded July 2026) for holder assemblies under total small business set-aside; a $35,787 DLA Aviation purchase order (April 2023) for insulator bushings also set aside for total small business; and a $43,286.60 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order (March 2025) for supplemental armor under total small business set-aside. Across its prime footprint, the vendor has also completed numerous smaller purchase orders and delivery orders in the $1,000–$25,000 range for insulator components and mechanical assemblies.
Custom Materials Inc. holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, each with $250,000 ceiling values. These IDCs, awarded between December 2022 and April 2025, are set aside for total small business participation and cover insulator plates, insulator beads, nylon insulators, and insulation sheets. A single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded February 2025, $250,000 ceiling through April 2026) procures supplemental armor and related components. The vendor also holds an IDC with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for plastic round sections. Task orders issued against these IDCs typically range from under $100 to several thousand dollars, with an estimated 4–12 orders annually per vehicle.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Defense Logistics Agency commands. DLA Aviation accounts for 192 awards and $2.5 million combined potential value (57% of the portfolio); DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 104 awards and $1.2 million (27%); the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 48 awards and $429 thousand (10%); and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 27 awards and $147 thousand (3%). Together, these top four customers represent 99% of recent awards. The vendor has worked with seven distinct federal agencies overall.
Activity has remained relatively stable, with awards declining modestly from 48 in 2022 to 38 in 2026 year-to-date. Over the past five years, the vendor has generated a combined potential value of $4.4 million across 385 prime awards and one subcontract award, with $2 million obligated (45% of potential). Ten awards with combined potential value of $329 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure.
The vendor is a Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM.gov since June 2001. Its award portfolio concentrates heavily on electrical insulators and insulating materials (186 awards under PSC code for that category) and smaller volumes of generators, torpedo launchers, and plastic fabricated materials. All-category miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing (NAICS 335999) represents 125 awards; small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing (NAICS 332991) represents 60 awards. The vendor competes on full-and-open procurements and total small business set-asides without pursuing 8(a), HUBZone, or other category-specific set-asides, despite holding self-certified small disadvantaged business status. Custom Materials Inc. operates as a sole prime contractor; the source identifies one subcontract award to Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation (October 2024) for mechanical actuator supplies.
