Ebco, Inc.

Ebco, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Elgin, Illinois, supplies precision-engineered industrial rubber and composite components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a firm-fixed-price basis, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation. The company holds a Subchapter S corporate structure and operates under primary NAICS 336390 (Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) with a secondary focus on gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing.

Ebco's federal customer base concentrates almost entirely within Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The top five customer segments account for 98% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Land and Maritime (91 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (39 awards, $643 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (30 awards, $309 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (29 awards, $224 thousand). The rankings by award count and potential value track closely, reflecting Ebco's role as a high-volume, small-order supplier within DLA's supply chain rather than an anchor for large individual contracts. Combined across all agencies, Ebco carries $6.5 million in combined potential value across 197 awards, with $2.3 million obligated to date (35% realization).

Concrete capability work centers on wheel-track chocks, resilient mounts, bumpers, nonmetallic grommets, spacer rings, seals, and related vehicular hardware. Representative prime awards include a $13,484 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for wheel chocks (December 2025), a $6,877 delivery order for wheel chocks (May 2024), a $6,346 purchase order for resilient mounts (February 2023), and a $7,758 purchase order for resilient mounts (July 2024). Ebco also holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA divisions, including a March 2026 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime carrying a $350,000 ceiling and a Total Small Business set-aside for wheel-track chocks with performance through March 2027; a May 2024 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for wheel chocks at $250,000 ceiling (extended through May 2025); a June 2023 single-award IDC covering bumpers, resilient mounts, and wheel chocks at $250,000 ceiling; a September 2022 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for nonmetallic grommets at $250,000 ceiling running through August 2027; and an earlier IDC expiring November 2023. These vehicles consolidate routine ordering across multiple product lines, enabling DLA to issue delivery orders and purchase orders on an as-needed basis rather than procure each item competitively.

Activity has grown modestly but unevenly — 14 awards in 2022, 16 in 2023, and 19 in 2024, declining to 5 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 to date. This recent slowdown reflects the consolidation of Ebco's work under active IDCs rather than a loss of customer engagement; IDC ceilings remain available and the March 2026 wheel-chocks IDC award signals continued DLA confidence. No recompete cliff is present in the source data; completion dates on indexed awards distribute across 2026 and 2027.

Ebco subcontracts minimally at the federal prime level (1% of awards). The source names a single sub-award: March 2024 sub-work for Oshkosh Defense LLC on delivery order W56HZV23F0002, where Ebco supplied plastics and composites components under a Tactics (TAC) code for BFMS Plastics/Composites. This represents opportunistic defense-sector sub-engagement rather than systematic teaming.

The vendor's five most active parent IDCs — all held directly by Ebco as prime — carry individual ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $350,000 and support task orders in the hundreds to low thousands per order. No GWAC, BPA, or GSA Schedule position appears in the source. Ebco's posture is pure DLA incumbent, competing full-and-open on routine military logistics consumables with minimal set-aside positioning and negligible sub-work.
