Derand Precision LLC

Derand Precision LLC, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Stratton, Vermont, manufactures precision-machined electrical and mechanical components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders, competing in full-and-open procurements with occasional Total Small Business set-aside designations.

The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor—all 620 awards in the source are prime contracts with no subcontracting activity. Derand manufactures specialized defense hardware including mounting brackets, electrical switch covers, bus conductors, spacers, standoffs, protective covers, and fastening components used in military equipment maintenance and repair. The company holds a $250,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for pusher blocks, awarded September 4, 2025, under Total Small Business set-aside, with an anticipated three delivery orders annually. Representative work includes a $187,992 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical brackets (November 2024), a $99,990 order for mounting brackets (October 2025), and a $25,995 order for disk assembly components (January 2026). The source documents over 200 federal awards since 2007.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-focused: Defense Logistics Agency divisions account for 100 percent of awards. DLA Land and Maritime dominates with 269 awards worth $2.3 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation with 244 awards worth $978 thousand. The remaining three customers—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (57 awards, $293 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (49 awards, $140 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (1 award, $1 thousand)—represent residual volume. The two customer rankings track identically, reflecting DLA Land and Maritime's control of both award count and dollar value.

Activity has been uneven but sustained. Awards ranged from 25 in 2026 (three months of data) to 69 in 2024, with 60 in 2025 and 62 in 2022. The source identifies 28 awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $140 thousand, representing moderate recompete exposure. The portfolio is heavily skewed toward low-dollar-value purchase orders—combined potential value across all 620 awards is $3.7 million, with $3.1 million already obligated (83 percent of ceiling). The majority of awards cluster below $15,000.

Top NAICS categories reflect hardware manufacturing focus: Hardware Manufacturing (155 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (52 awards), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (49 awards). Top PSCs align: Hardware Commercial (149 awards), Switches (39 awards), and Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (38 awards). The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements; Total Small Business set-aside awards appear sporadic, with most recent set-aside activity in 2025 and early 2026 on the pusher block IDC and two discrete purchase orders ($14,000 in October 2025 for switch actuator arms, $22,988 in May 2025 for communication panel patching). Work is performed at the awardee's facility in South Londonderry, Vermont.
