JA Moody LLC

JA Moody LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, supplies industrial valves, actuators, hydraulic components, and fabricated pipe and fittings to the Department of Defense and federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and single-award indefinite-delivery contracts, with 98% of its federal award footprint anchored in prime contracts rather than subcontract work.

JA Moody operates as a limited liability partnership and holds veteran-owned small business status. The vendor's corporate structure includes named subsidiaries ESI Acquisition Corp and Moody Marine Service LLC. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open, unrestricted procurements — the vast majority of its recent awards carry no set-aside designation — placing it in direct competition with all vendors rather than within a protected category. Primary NAICS codes center on industrial valve manufacturing (2,831 awards), fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (560 awards), and mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (517 awards). PSC coding is dominated by nonpowered valves (3,398 awards), powered valves (1,602 awards), and pipe and fitting assemblies (826 awards).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-customer dependent. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 6,502 awards valued at $201.4 million combined potential value — 67% of JA Moody's total award footprint and 89% of the top-five customer ranking. Naval Supply Systems Command (854 awards, $61 million) and Naval Sea Systems Command (357 awards, $11.4 million) rank second and third, with all three Navy components combined representing 83% of combined potential value. The remaining top-tier customers — DLA Aviation (715 awards, $9.1 million) and the U.S. Coast Guard (84 awards, $6.2 million) — are secondary by both volume and dollars. This concentration carries significant recompete risk: 413 awards valued at $27.3 million are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing approximately 9% of combined potential value.

Activity has grown consistently over the past five years, from 581 awards in 2022 to a peak of 1,240 awards in 2025, with 641 awards recorded in 2026 to date. The vendor holds four single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime (ceiling values of $350,000 each) covering seals, shouldered shafts, webbing straps, and electronic components, with one-year performance periods running through May 2027. Across all parent vehicles tracked, the top IDIQs and BOAs include SPM70003D9728 (103 task orders, $915 thousand combined value), SPRMM110G0903 (100 task orders, $6.8 million), and N0010491G2005 (43 task orders). The majority of JA Moody's award volume, however, flows through simplified purchase orders and delivery orders issued directly by DLA Land and Maritime and Naval Supply Systems Command rather than through standing parent vehicles.

Representative recent prime work includes a $459,412 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (July 2026) for butterfly valves, a $715,744 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (May 2026) for electro-mechanical actuators, a $575,040 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order (May 2026) for sediment strainers, and a $380,967 DLA purchase order (July 2026) for butterfly valves. A $262,206 Coast Guard purchase order (May 2026) for CGC Healy refrigeration valves and a $154,357 Military Sealift Command purchase order (July 2026) for hazardous-duty rated LED lighting fixtures for USNS ALAN SHEPARD represent work outside the core valve and actuator portfolio. Performance locations are predominantly Malvern, Pennsylvania, with subordinate work at Curtis Bay Industrial Area, Baltimore, Maryland (for Coast Guard valve awards), and overseas locations including Spain (USS Bulkeley repair-support valves, $323,882) and Portsmouth, Virginia (Navy component work).

As a subcontractor, JA Moody supplies valve and component assemblies to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on shipbuilding programs (LHA 10 butterfly valves, LPD construction buys, and DDG 51 class rebuy work) and to Crowley Government Services, Inc. on vessel operation and maintenance contracts for government-owned maritime prepositioning force vessels. Sub-award volume is minimal — only 150 awards (2% of the total) — indicating that JA Moody operates as an incumbent incumbent prime rather than as a subcontractor performing work under larger primes.

Obligated dollars track closely to potential value: $295.4 million obligated against $299.7 million potential combined value across all awards (99% obligation rate), reflecting the mature, invoice-driven nature of the vendor's purchase-order-based footprint with DLA and Navy supply activities. The vendor has maintained federal contracting relationships dating to 1981.
