F P A Manufacturing

F P A Manufacturing, doing business as FPA Manufacturing And Supply, is a woman-owned small business and veteran-owned enterprise that manufactures precision-machined hardware components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, operating almost exclusively under total small business set-asides and competing through DLA's indefinite delivery contract vehicles. The Las Cruces, New Mexico-based sole proprietorship, registered as an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB), supplies shims, pins, bushings, sleeves, springs, fasteners, spacers, washers, plates, and related hardware components that support military aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle maintenance and repair across domestic and overseas DLA depots.

FPA Manufacturing's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency and its subordinate buying activities. The top five DLA organizations account for 97% of awards and span Aviation (964 awards, $8.3 million combined potential value), Land and Maritime (676 awards, $4.6 million), Troop Support Hardware (666 awards, $2.4 million), Troop Support Construction and Equipment (240 awards, $1 million), and the general Defense Logistics Agency (55 awards, $62 thousand). The ranking by potential value tracks tightly with the ranking by award count—DLA Aviation dominates both—reflecting FPA Manufacturing's strategic position as a high-volume, small-order supplier to a single customer across multiple buying offices. The company operates under total small business set-asides on nearly all indefinite delivery contracts and placement orders. Recent representative awards include a $6,604.50 delivery order for shim components under a $250,000 total small business indefinite delivery contract (DLA Aviation, awarded March 4, 2025), a $42,300 purchase order for compensator cylinders (DLA Land and Maritime, April 2025), and a $39,154.34 purchase order for bushing and sleeve components (DLA Aviation, August 2025).

FPA Manufacturing currently holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation: a $250,000 total small business set-aside contract for shim components (awarded March 4, 2025, completion March 4, 2026) and a $250,000 total small business set-aside contract for straight headless pins (awarded April 2, 2024, completion April 2, 2025). The vendor places task orders against these vehicles and also issues purchase orders and delivery orders under related DLA buying activity solicitations. Five awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $86 thousand.

Award activity has declined sharply—101 awards in 2022 contracted to four awards through mid-2026—reflecting either consolidation of orders under the two active indefinite delivery contracts or a pullback in new procurement. The vendor's capability concentration is highly specific: across a footprint of 2,671 prime awards since 1999, the top NAICS categories are Hardware Manufacturing (689 awards), Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (266 awards), and Spring Manufacturing (240 awards). The top PSC codes center on Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (437 awards), Hardware Commercial (312 awards), and Coil, Flat, Leaf, and Wire Springs (312 awards). FPA Manufacturing manufactures and delivers all work at its Las Cruces facility; the combined potential value across all awards totals $27.6 million, with $12.7 million obligated (46% realization). The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data and has maintained continuous federal contracting relationships with DLA since 1999.
