Dulond Tool & Engineering, Inc.

Dulond Tool & Engineering, Inc., doing business as Dulond Tool & Engineering, manufactures precision-engineered aerospace and defense components for military aircraft as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside categories. The company is a small business for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, and has maintained federal contracting relationships since 2001, specializing in structural parts, assemblies, fittings, brackets, truss assemblies, and door mechanisms (NAICS 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing; PSC Airframe Structural Components).

Dulond Tool & Engineering's federal customer base is sharply concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which accounts for 519 of 720 recent awards (72% of total count) carrying $15.7 million in combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime and the Air Force represent smaller secondary customers. The company holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation valued at $1,999,999.99 for structural support services, valid through November 2026, paired with a second smaller IDC for link assemblies ($249,999.99). Most awards flow from delivery orders placed against these IDCs and related DLA Aviation procurement vehicles. Recent representative prime work includes a $306,600 purchase order from DLA Aviation for aircraft truss assemblies (February 2026), a $261,800 order for truss assemblies (September 2025), a $252,450 truss assembly contract (August 2025), and a $168,000 purchase order for flap attachment link components under a total small business set-aside (April 2025). A $4,500 government first article testing order from DLA Aviation (March 2026) and a $23,200 access door hinge contract from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2025) show the range of component classes Dulond supplies.

Activity over the past five years shows modest cyclicality — 29 awards in 2022, declining to 20 in 2023, recovering to 22 in 2024, and 26 in 2025, with eight awards year-to-date through March 2026. Twenty-six awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete action. Dulond also serves as a subcontractor on defense primes' work. Since 2023, the company has delivered truss assemblies, T-block assemblies, and flap attachment link materials to Lockheed Martin on C-130J platform funding modifications and to Science And Engineering Services, LLC on linkage component procurement in support of DLA Aviation flap attachment contracts. The Lockheed Martin relationship signals integration into major platform sustainment supply chains beyond direct DLA prime work.

Dulond Tool & Engineering's footprint is homogeneous: all performance occurs at the single Sarasota facility, and the vendor portfolio is tightly bound to DLA Aviation's aircraft parts procurement — structural support, link assemblies, brackets, fittings, and associated hardware dominate the PSC distribution (764 of 825 awards in the Airframe Structural Components category). The company competes on full-and-open basis for most work, with occasional total small business set-aside awards, and maintains no apparent presence on governmentwide contract vehicles or other agencies' larger IDIQs. Dulond's role is that of a specialized, capacity-constrained tier-two supplier deeply embedded in DLA Aviation's rotary and fixed-wing aircraft sustainment ecosystem.
