Dorn Equipment Corp.

Dorn Equipment Corp., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Melrose, Massachusetts, is a specialized manufacturer of industrial components and logistics parts that has maintained a consistent federal contracting relationship since its SAM.gov registration in January 2002. The company specializes in the production of stuffing tubes, electrical connectors, packing assemblies, electrical covers, and related industrial hardware essential for military maintenance, repair, and sustainment operations. As a small business entity, Dorn Equipment Corp. has established itself as a reliable supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), one of the Department of Defense's primary procurement organizations, serving military aviation, maritime, vehicle, and general sustainment programs across the armed forces.

Dorn Equipment Corp. has received over 400 federal contract awards since 2002, with the overwhelming majority of these awards originating from the Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. The company's primary products delivered through these contracts include stuffing tubes (specialized sealing and packing components used in aircraft and vehicle maintenance), electrical connectors and plugs (critical for military equipment wiring and systems), packing assemblies and kits (packaging materials for logistics support), electrical covers (protective components for electrical systems on military platforms), and miscellaneous industrial components such as light lenses, retainers, and connectors. The contract awards have been structured as both purchase orders and delivery orders, with individual award values ranging from as low as $20 to over $30,000, and contract types including firm fixed-price arrangements without set-aside designations as well as several total small business set-aside contracts. Recent awards from 2024 through 2025 demonstrate continued procurement activity, including a $7,371 delivery order for stuffing tubes awarded in October 2025, a $4,916.70 delivery order in August 2025, and numerous prior awards throughout 2024 and 2023. The company performs all work at its manufacturing facility in Melrose, Massachusetts, and serves exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified major subcontractors on these awards.

Dorn Equipment Corp. currently holds twelve active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency, with ceiling values of $250,000 each, providing the agency with efficient procurement vehicles for acquiring specialized industrial components on an as-needed basis. These IDCs include single-award contracts designated for the procurement of stuffing tubes, electrical connectors and plugs, packing assemblies, packing assembly kits, electrical covers, and light lenses, with performance periods extending through 2029. Several of these IDCs carry total small business set-aside designations, reflecting the company's status as a small business concern, while others are unrestricted awards. The IDCs have been awarded by both DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions, with contract vehicles including those awarded in July 2024 (ceiling $250,000, completion July 2025 for stuffing tubes under Aviation), March 2024 (ceiling $250,000, completion March 2029 for stuffing tubes under Aviation), January 2024 (ceiling $250,000, completion January 2029 for stuffing tubes under Aviation), November 2023 (ceiling $250,000, completion November 2028 for stuffing tubes under Aviation), October 2023 (ceiling $250,000, completion October 2028 for stuffing tubes under Aviation), July 2023 (two contracts, each ceiling $250,000, completion July 2024, for plugs and stuffing tubes under Aviation), April 2022 (ceiling $250,000, completion April 2025, total small business set-aside for electrical connectors and plugs under Land and Maritime), January 2022 (ceiling $250,000, completion January 2027, total small business set-aside for stuffing tubes under Aviation), October 2021 (ceiling $250,000, completion October 2026, total small business set-aside for stuffing tubes under Aviation), October 2021 (ceiling $250,000, completion October 2022, for electrical covers under Land and Maritime), and two earlier vehicles from 2021 and 2022 for packing assemblies under Land and Maritime. These IDCs demonstrate DLA's reliance on Dorn Equipment Corp. as an established, qualified supplier for critical logistics components that support military readiness and sustainment operations across multiple defense programs and service branches.
