DC Fabricators Inc.

DC Fabricators Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Florence, New Jersey, manufactures specialty metal components and hardware for defense applications as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and subcontractor on submarine construction programs. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open terms; it holds four single-award IDCs with the Defense Logistics Agency, each valued at $250,000, and has received two small-business set-aside awards in its recent footprint.

DC Fabricators' customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding entities account for 90% of recent awards by count, led by DLA Land and Maritime (315 awards, $5 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (103 awards, $1.6 million). The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second by potential value ($2.4 million across 36 awards), reflecting DC Fabricators' role as a subcontractor to Electric Boat Corporation on SSN-class submarine construction and long-lead material procurement. DLA Troop Support Hardware and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment round out the major customers. Recent representative prime work includes a $177,813 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 23 air ejector diffusers (awarded May 31, 2025), a $121,730 order for 14 air ejector diffusers (October 23, 2025), and a $79,750 order for 11 diffusers (August 25, 2025). On the Navy side, DC Fabricators supplied a $25,680 titanium-clad stainless steel mock-up block with 30 titanium tubes to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard under PACFLT (awarded February 7, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside).

DC Fabricators holds four single-award IDCs with DLA — three valued at $250,000 each (Land and Maritime for air ejector nozzles and gaskets; Aviation for corrosion prevention anodes, award date November 24, 2023) and one for $250,000 with DLA Aviation covering additional components (award date October 23, 2025). The top five parent vehicles across the footprint show modest order volume per vehicle: IDC SPE4A618D0164 carries nine task orders ($98 thousand), SPM44004D5948 seven task orders ($24 thousand), and SPE7L323D61RM six task orders ($49 thousand). Delivery orders under these vehicles typically range from $3,500 to $31,392, with firm fixed-price terms and performance in Florence.

Activity has remained steady at 59–72 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2025), with 10 awards issued in 2026 year-to-date. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $590 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and present recompete opportunity for competitors and recompete exposure for the vendor. The source indicates obligated dollars significantly exceed potential value, suggesting active invoicing and drawdown on existing contracts.

In its subcontractor role, DC Fabricators supplies long-lead materials, fasteners, and components to Electric Boat Corporation for SSN-804, SSN-814, SSN-815, and SSBN-826 submarine construction programs; sub-award descriptions reference weapon cradle roller leaf spring fasteners, streamlined coupons, common weapon launcher analog devices, and design support work. DC Fabricators' capability portfolio centers on precision metal components and hardware: gasket, packing, and sealing devices (231 awards by NAICS); bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers (129 awards); air ejector nozzles, diffusers, and related pumping equipment; O-rings; corrosion prevention anodes; and fasteners (studs, studs continuous threaded, jacking screws, eye bolts, hexagon nuts, machine bolts). The company has been a registered federal contractor since July 2001 and operates from a single manufacturing facility in Florence, New Jersey.
