Draf Industries, Inc.

Draf Industries, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of precision-engineered industrial components based in Portland, Maine, supplies replacement parts and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with 1,580 awards totaling $7.9 million in combined potential value since 2002.

Draf operates as a child entity under Iris Network, a tax-exempt parent organization, and competes across two distinct capability portfolios. The primary portfolio centers on hand tools and edge tools — the vendor's dominant NAICS category (1,209 awards under Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing) and PSC (927 awards under Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered), with additional depth in saw blades, measuring tools, and tool kits. The secondary portfolio, visible in recent award history, comprises precision mechanical and hydraulic components for military equipment maintenance: rate of flow indicators, vacuum pump units, charging manifolds, hose assemblies, coupling tubes, filters, and sensors. Representative recent work includes a $4,875 Total Small Business delivery order from DLA Aviation in May 2026 for a rate of flow indicator; a $9,375 Total Small Business delivery order from DLA Aviation in February 2026 for a rate of flow indicator; a $13,604 full-and-open purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in May 2024 for vacuum pump units; and a $11,488 full-and-open purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in December 2023 for vacuum pump units.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Defense and its components. The top five agencies by award count account for 77% of recent awards: the Department of the Army placed 467 awards ($129 thousand combined value), Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command placed 459 awards ($273 thousand combined value), DLA Land and Maritime placed 157 awards ($1.4 million combined value), the United States Marine Corps placed 85 awards ($816 thousand combined value), and DLA Aviation placed 50 awards ($623 thousand combined value). By potential value, DLA Land and Maritime ($1.4 million) and the broader Department of Defense ($1.7 million across 7 awards) dominate the ranking, reflecting the higher-dollar mechanical component work, while the Army's volume reflects lower-value hand-tool procurements.

Draf holds positions on five named GSA Schedules (Schedule 84 contract vehicles operating as Blanket Purchase Agreements): GS06F9DRII carries 485 task orders, GS06F06874 carries 131 task orders ($91 thousand combined value), GS06FB2297 carries 109 task orders, GS06F9DIIN carries 51 task orders, and GS06F06761 carries 49 task orders ($40 thousand combined value). The vendor also holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA: a $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime running through June 2023 for vacuum pump units, and a $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation running through February 2027 for rate of flow indicators, charging manifolds, and related mechanical components. Six delivery orders have been issued under the DLA Aviation IDC since March 2022, ranging from $3,000 to $4,500 per order.

Activity has declined materially — nine awards in both 2022 and 2023, dropping to five in 2024 and five in 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Work is performed at Draf's Portland, Maine facility and subordinate operations in North Hills, California, with delivery locations distributed across CONUS and OCONUS Defense Logistics Agency depots. Set-aside posture is mixed: the vendor holds Total Small Business set-asides on both active DLA IDCs and on a subset of recent deliveries, while competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements across the GSA Schedule vehicles and on individual DLA purchase orders and delivery orders.
