Deanco Industrial Tires, Inc.

Deanco Industrial Tires, Inc. (doing business as Deanco Industrial Tires Inc.), a woman-owned small business and Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise based in El Cajon, California, supplies pneumatic tires, specialty metal components, and related installation and disposal services to the Department of Defense and the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on a high-volume, low-dollar purchase-order footprint. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designation applied, despite holding woman-owned small business and DBE certifications; the award record spans 376 total contracts from 2005 through June 2026, with a combined potential value of $1.6 million and 99% of that value obligated.

Deanco's customer concentration is heavily skewed to a single agency. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 318 awards (85% of total) valued at $690 thousand combined potential value, dominating both award-count and dollar-value rankings. The second and third ranking customers—Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces (9 awards, $315 thousand) and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (3 awards, $145 thousand)—represent a distant second tier. Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, and Information Warfare Systems Command round out the active customer set. Recent representative work includes three June 2026 purchase orders from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for Bridgestone pneumatic crane tires (525/80R25, Class 1A) with installation, valve stems, o-rings, and disposal services—two orders for $54,907 each (ten tires per order) and one for $35,512.50 (six tires), all with completion in June 2026. Across the DLA Aviation customer base, the vendor supplies both pneumatic tires (both tubeless and aircraft-specific models) and specialty metals—aluminum sheets, plates, and tubes; titanium bar; stainless steel bar; and steel tool plates—with individual order values typically ranging from under $300 to roughly $5,000.

Activity has been sparse and irregular. After a modest uptick in 2023 (six awards), volume dropped to four awards in 2024, two in 2025, and three in the first six months of 2026, suggesting no significant recompete cliff or pipeline growth. The vendor operates with no subcontract relationships and does not sit on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all work flows through direct spot-purchase orders from DLA and Navy activities. The NAICS concentration reflects the dual nature of the supply base: 316 awards fall under Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, while 13 fall under Tire Manufacturing (except Retreading), with metal service and manufacturing NAICS categories accounting for smaller shares. This low-dollar, high-frequency model—376 awards totaling $1.6 million—positions Deanco as a narrow-gauge supplier to military aviation logistics rather than a systems integrator or platform contractor.
