JA Moody LLC

JA Moody LLC, doing business as JA Moody, is a veteran-owned small business that supplies industrial valves, actuators, hydraulic components, and fabricated pipe and pipe fittings to the Department of Defense and federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts.

JA Moody operates as a limited liability partnership headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. The company holds veteran-owned small business status and competes almost exclusively full-and-open, with no set-aside designations appearing across its recent federal award footprint. The vendor maintains subsidiary operations through Moody Marine Service LLC and ESI Acquisition Corp. Corporate positioning centers on industrial components distribution: valves (butterfly, pressure-reducing, regulating flow, solenoid, check, relief), electro-mechanical and hydraulic actuators, strainers and strainer elements, gearboxes, pumps, hose reels, and related mechanical assemblies critical to naval vessel maintenance and Defense Logistics Agency depot supply chains.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division, which accounts for 6,343 awards (66% of the footprint) and $192 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command follows with 834 awards and $58.3 million. Naval Sea Systems Command, the Coast Guard, and DLA Aviation round out the top five. The top-five agencies represent 89% of all awards and 97% of combined potential value—a narrow customer base typical of industrial parts distribution to DoD supply channels. Recent representative prime work includes a $3.08 million delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for regulating elements (March 24, 2026), a $1.03 million definitive contract for hydraulic actuators (March 4, 2026), a $783.7 thousand purchase order for 80 butterfly valves (March 4, 2026), a $471 thousand Naval Supply Systems Command order for valve assembly (April 2, 2026), and a $439 thousand Military Sealift Command order for sea water regulating valves for USNS Mercy (April 14, 2026). Most awards fall in the $1,000 to $100,000 range, reflecting routine supply replenishment across naval and logistics networks.

The vendor holds four single-award indefinite-delivery contracts totaling $1.4 million ceiling across DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime, awarded between February and April 2026, procuring hand cranks, ring spacers, and gearbox strainers. No government-wide acquisition contracts or large-ceiling parent vehicles appear in the top vehicles—activity concentrates instead on direct purchase orders and basic ordering agreements with DLA and Navy commodity managers. The top-named parent vehicles (SPM70003D9728, SPRMM110G0903, N0010491G2005) carry 103, 100, and 43 task orders respectively, but most orders flow through simplified acquisition procedures without named parent vehicles.

Activity has grown consistently: from 581 awards in 2022 to 1,234 in 2025, with 391 awards recorded through early July 2026 (partial-year snapshot). Approximately 480 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $26.7 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in valve and actuator commodity categories. The vendor's sub footprint is minimal—only 2% of awards are subcontract work. Named subcontract primes include Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (LHA and DDG 51 class valve work, CVN 75 refueling and overhaul butterfly valve supply, LPD vessel advance procurement) and Crowley Government Services (maritime prepositioning force vessel operation and maintenance). Subcontract scope mirrors prime work: valve assemblies, butterfly valves, and hydraulic components supporting ship construction, overhaul, and sustainment programs.

Award category concentration underscores industrial parts distribution: industrial valve manufacturing accounts for 2,785 awards; fabricated pipe and fittings for 526; other metal valve and fittings manufacturing for 520. Within product service codes, nonpowered valves dominate at 3,356 awards, followed by powered valves at 1,566 and hose, pipe, tube, and fitting components at 776. Total award volume of 9,648 awards with $285.4 million combined potential value and $282.8 million obligated (99% realization rate) reflects high contract maturity and predictable cash flow—characteristic of a vendor embedded in routine Navy and DLA logistics supply chains rather than pursuing growth across new customer agencies or capability domains.
