DJ Products Inc.

DJ Products Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and small business manufacturer based in Little Falls, Minnesota, supplies specialized electric-powered materials handling and transportation equipment—trailer caddies, powered dollies, terminal tractors, and related warehouse trucks—to the Department of Defense, the Department of the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and 63 other federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) on full-and-open competitive procurements without set-aside designation, except where agencies competitively reserve specific solicitations for small business vendors.

DJ Products operates predominantly through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where 166 of its 243 total awards are task orders, generating $3.5 million in combined potential value. Recent representative prime work includes a $131,690.38 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army for TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractors (March 2026, performance at Jewell, Georgia); a $28,322.15 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a heavy-duty flat-bed chain-drive wagon caddy with 5,000-pound capacity under a total small business set-aside (June 2024); a $27,640.00 delivery order from the Air Force Reserve Command for a Tugger 36V electric warehouse tug via the Multiple Award Schedule (September 2024); and an $11,435.58 purchase order from the Coast Guard for TrailerCaddy 2.5K powered dollies (September 2023, with a subsequent $1,017.00 modification for freight charges). The vendor's capability footprint spans warehouse equipment, aircraft maintenance caddies (including UH-60 AircraftCaddy 35K models), ammunition and ordnance machinery, and specialized industrial transportation assets.

Customer concentration is broad across the defense and homeland security enterprise. The top five customer agencies by award count—the Air National Guard (18 awards, $182 thousand), the Air Force (17 awards, $174 thousand), the Coast Guard (15 awards, $190 thousand), Air Combat Command (12 awards, $191 thousand), and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (10 awards, $191 thousand)—account for only 30% of awards. By potential value, Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command leads (6 awards, $407 thousand), followed by Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (8 awards, $264 thousand) and the Air Force Air Mobility Command (7 awards, $216 thousand), covering only 15% of combined potential value. This dispersal reflects DJ Products' role as a supplier of transactional, spot-buy equipment across dozens of military installations and field commands rather than as an anchor contractor for any single customer.

Activity declined sharply after 2022: eight awards in 2022, five in 2023, six in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across all 243 awards reaches $8.9 million, with $4.2 million obligated to date (47%). No recompete cliff signal is present in the source. As a subcontractor, DJ Products supplies trailer caddies, batteries, industrial supplies, and assembly carts to Lockheed Martin (on Precision Strike Missile production and PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 missile manufacturing; awards from 2022, 2024) and Raytheon (industrial batteries and supplies, September 2025). The vendor's primary NAICS coding in the source reflects both its core identity (Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing, 38 awards) and a legacy classification under Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (168 awards), likely a source-system artifact rather than current capability.
