Engstroms Welding & Machine, Inc.

Engstroms Welding & Machine, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Junction City, Kansas, manufactures precision-engineered machined parts, tools, assemblies, and specialized components for defense logistics applications as a prime contractor across the Defense Logistics Agency and subordinate commands. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements (53% of recent awards carry no set-aside designation), with the remainder distributed across Total Small Business set-asides (approximately 47% of awards). Engstroms operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and for-profit manufacturer, holding primary NAICS classification in Machine Shops (332710) and related manufacturing codes covering electronic components, aircraft parts, hardware, and fastener production.

Engstroms' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency supply chain operations. DLA Aviation anchors the customer base, accounting for 161 awards valued at $3.2 million combined potential value—roughly 75% of the company's $4.3 million total award portfolio. DLA Land and Maritime contributes 83 awards ($463 thousand), with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (24 awards, $279 thousand) and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards, $164 thousand) rounding out the active set. Across all customer agencies, Engstroms has secured 300 total prime awards since 2013, with obligated dollars at $3.5 million (80% of combined potential value), demonstrating strong award execution.

Recent award activity shows acceleration: the vendor moved from 24 awards in 2024 to 66 in 2025, a three-fold year-over-year increase. The 2026 slice (15 awards as of April) reflects partial-year data. Representative work includes a $107.15 thousand Total Small Business aircraft repair kit for DLA Aviation (December 2024), a $90.25 thousand radar test parts kit (February 2023), a $114.8 thousand hydraulic adapter set (December 2022), and recurring orders for cable tension straps, test tools, aircraft fixtures, installation kits, and fastening hardware in the $1 thousand to $40 thousand range. Product diversity spans nose cones, extractors, washers, pins, shafts, motors and locking tools, hoisting units, and specialized aviation and maritime components.

Engstroms holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation. The most recent, awarded December 19, 2025, carries a $350 thousand ceiling on a Total Small Business set-aside through December 2026. Two prior IDCs—one for test tools ($250 thousand, expired September 2022) and one for cable tension straps ($250 thousand, expired September 2022)—demonstrate the vendor's established relationship with DLA Aviation for flexible, on-demand component procurement. Seven awards totaling $182 thousand are scheduled for completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure focused on recurring test equipment, cable tension products, and machined fastening components.

The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractor relationships in the source data. All 300 awards are prime contracts or IDVs; there are no sub-awards. Place of performance for all work is the company's Junction City, Kansas facility. Award types are uniform across the portfolio: firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders constitute the standard contract vehicle, with task orders issued under the indefinite delivery contracts. The top five product service codes are Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (104 awards), Torpedo Maintenance, Repair, and Checkout Specialized Equipment (23 awards), Commercial Hardware (23 awards), Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (14 awards), and Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment (14 awards), reflecting Engstroms' positioning as a specialized supplier of tools, fixtures, and components supporting military aircraft readiness and depot operations.
