Drytech Inc.

Drytech Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Cookstown, New Jersey, manufactures moisture management and environmental control equipment for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on nearly all of its federal work (99% prime, 1% sub). The company does not hold SBA set-aside certifications and competes on full-and-open procurements; across its recent footprint, approximately 26% of awards carry total small business set-aside designations, reflecting selective competition for reserved opportunities rather than a dedicated small-business posture.

Drytech's core capability spans dehydrator cartridges, desiccant containers and bags, repair kits (composite, structural, and vacuum parts kits), filter elements, and associated environmental control components—all specialized for military aviation, maritime, and logistics applications. The company delivers goods almost exclusively through DLA and Navy supply channels. Representative prime work includes a $241,843 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for strainer elements (awarded April 2026), a $687,180 delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command for composite repair kits (October 2025), a $428,080 composite repair kit delivery order from NAVSUP (November 2024), and a $7.175 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NAVSUP through December 2026 for procurement, assembly, and logistics support of eight different aircraft maintenance kits supporting the F/A-18 program.

Customer concentration is extreme and split by ordering volume versus total dollar value. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads by award count (486 awards, $21.4 million combined potential value), followed by NAVSUP (272 awards, $33.3 million)—which reverses when ranked by dollars. Together these two customers represent 91% of recent awards and 88% of combined potential value. DLA Aviation (235 awards, $7.2 million), DLA itself (77 awards, $5.9 million), and DLA Land and Maritime (157 awards, $1.5 million) complete the top five. No other federal agencies appear in the significant award portfolio.

On the IDV side, Drytech holds five named parent vehicles dominating its task-order footprint: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038309D005D (156 task orders, $6 million), SP070002D9730 (88 task orders, $4.6 million), SPM70002D9730 (88 task orders, $1.5 million), N0038317DAD01 (77 task orders, $7.9 million), and N0038322DT901 (53 task orders, $8.5 million). Additionally, recent IDV awards include a $350,000 single-award contract from DLA Land and Maritime for filter element fluid components (awarded December 2025, through December 2026) and a $350,000 total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract from DoD Aviation for non-dehydrator units (awarded November 2025, through November 2030).

In its subcontractor role—comprising only 1% of recent activity—Drytech supplies desiccant assemblies, desiccator components, and mechanical filters to Lockheed Martin (F/A-18 IRST production, Air-to-Ground Missile Systems, Hellfire and JAGM engineering), Raytheon (TOW missile production packaging, SIP IV hardware), and Northrop Grumman (ALMDS production support, FMU-139D/B fuze system production). Subcontract awards date from March 2024 onward and typically involve component integration into larger defense platforms.

Activity trajectory shows year-over-year volatility rather than growth: 49 awards in 2022, declining to 27 in 2023, recovering to 41 in 2024, returning to 49 in 2025, and 8 awards recorded by mid-2026. Only 9 awards (combined potential value $798,000) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's category concentration clusters heavily in drying and dehydration equipment (641 PSC-coded awards), aircraft maintenance and repair shop equipment (341 awards), and aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (464 NAICS-coded awards). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $58.1 million, representing 74% of combined potential value, signaling steady invoicing against existing task orders and purchase orders.
