Eilers Machine & Welding Inc.

Eilers Machine & Welding Inc., a small business metal fabricator headquartered in Lexington, Nebraska, operates as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, delivering close-tolerance fabricated metal components and assemblies for military equipment maintenance and repair across DLA sub-agencies. The company competes predominantly in total small business set-aside and full-and-open categories; across its recent footprint, roughly 45% of awards carry total small business set-aside designations, with the balance distributed between full-and-open and occasional non-competitive awards.

The company's capability portfolio centers on specialized metal fabrication and welding: vehicle components (fenders, splash guards, body panels, frames, seats), mechanical guards and protective covers (heat shields, deflectors, armored covers), structural and assembly hardware (brackets, hinges, mounting plates, spacer plates), exhaust and cooling system components (exhaust manifolds, oil cooler ducts, ventilators), armor and tactical components (supplemental armor sets and plates, personnel protective equipment), and miscellaneous metal fabrications (connecting links, pipe hangers, toggles, adapters). Representative recent work includes a $164.7 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 20 units of general access doors (awarded January 22, 2026, total small business set-aside), a $123.9 million order for vehicular seat frames (awarded October 27, 2025, total small business set-aside), a $67.4 million purchase order for vehicle seat parts kits (awarded April 8, 2026, total small business set-aside), and multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts valued at $350,000 each for supplemental armor, exhaust manifolds, connecting link rigs, and splash guards (awarded May–June 2026 to DLA Land and Maritime under total small business set-asides).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source: DLA Land and Maritime alone accounts for 1,756 awards (52% of total awards) and $22.7 million in combined potential value (13% of combined value across all customers), anchoring the vendor's entire footprint. The next four largest customers—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (561 awards, $10.7 million), DLA Aviation (276 awards, $3.5 million), DLA (general, 284 awards, $1.4 million), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (204 awards, $1.1 million)—are all subordinate elements of Defense Logistics Agency, meaning DLA in aggregate represents 91% of the vendor's recent award base. This extreme concentration creates both competitive opportunity (DLA is the only federal buyer) and risk (recompete cliff is minimal, but customer loss would eliminate the vendor's footprint).

The vendor holds five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each valued at $350,000 with one-year performance periods ending April 2027–June 2027: SPM50004D0255 for mechanical guards (56 task orders, $2.8 million combined value), SPM50004D0254 for duct, oil cooler, and fan components (46 task orders, $2.8 million), SPM75005D7637 (40 task orders, $628 thousand), SP050004D0254 (39 task orders), and SPM75005D7492 (31 task orders, $271 thousand). These vehicles are the vendor's primary ordering mechanism; the vendor does not sit on GWACs, BPAs, or GSA Schedules. All five vehicles are set to expire or reach ceiling within the next twelve months, representing a significant recompete footprint ($1 million combined potential value across 51 awards expiring in the next twenty-four months).

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—ranging from 128 awards in 2023 to 191 in 2025, with 90 awards year-to-date through mid-July 2026—reflecting steady-state demand from DLA rather than growth trajectory. Award values are consistently small (median purchase order in the $3,000–$15,000 range) and firm fixed-price, typical of DLA simplified acquisition thresholds and supply-chain replenishment. The vendor has no formal SBA certifications beyond small business status and operates on a 100% prime footprint; sub-award activity is minimal (five sub-awards to Lockheed Martin over the past two years for M270A2 MLRS components such as boom shield fittings and bar grabs, each under $250,000).

Eilers Machine & Welding registered in SAM.gov in March 2002 and has maintained continuous contractor status for over two decades. The company manufactures in-house at its Lexington facility and ships to DLA depots throughout the continental United States and overseas consolidation points. Its NAICS footprint reflects fabrication work: Hardware Manufacturing (754 awards), Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (388 awards), Automotive Parts and Accessories (228 awards), and Military Armored Vehicle and Tank Component Manufacturing (200 awards). Its PSC concentration mirrors the award content: Hardware Commercial (912 awards), Vehicular Cab/Body/Frame Structural Components (519 awards), Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (490 awards), and Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (237 awards).
