Dor-Mor, Inc.

Dor-Mor, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Claremont, New Hampshire, supplies specialized cast-iron pyramid buoy anchors and maritime mooring equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with the vast majority of its awards designated as total small business set-asides.

Dor-Mor's capability portfolio centers on the design and manufacture of proprietary pyramid-style buoy anchors in weight categories ranging from 70 to 400 pounds, plus weighted buoy sinkers and mooring equipment for aids-to-navigation operations, waterway boundary marking, and watercraft mooring. The company is the original equipment manufacturer for these specialized maritime anchoring solutions and holds a position as the sole approved supplier for its pyramid anchor design under U.S. Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Technical Manual specifications. Representative contracts include a $66,766 purchase order from the Coast Guard for 160 135-pound pyramid anchors awarded in August 2026 with delivery to Portsmouth, Virginia; a $21,785.50 total small business set-aside purchase order for cast-iron pyramid mooring anchors to the USCG Aids to Navigation Team Jacksonville and USCGC Hammer awarded in September 2025; and an $82,258 total small business set-aside contract for various-weight Dor-Mor pyramid anchors to USCG Base Portsmouth awarded in June 2024.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 127 of 186 total awards (73% of award count) and $2 million of the $2.8 million combined potential value (71% of dollars). Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (4 awards, $67 thousand), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (1 award, $13 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (3 awards, $13 thousand). Dor-Mor does not sit on government-wide vehicles, agency-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all awards are direct purchase orders from federal agencies. The company has no subcontract footprint and operates entirely as a prime contractor.

Activity trajectory shows volatility in recent years — two awards in 2023, seven in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with the most recent award dated August 4, 2026. The combined potential value across all awards is $2.8 million, fully obligated. Dor-Mor competes in a niche market with a sole-source or near-sole-source position on buoy anchor procurement, reflected in the recurrence of name-brand justifications and the company's exclusive supplier status under Coast Guard technical manuals. The vendor's narrow customer and product focus creates both deep incumbent status with the Coast Guard and concentration risk absent product diversification or new agency relationships.
