Fleming Industries Inc.

Fleming Industries Inc., operating through its Iron Duck Division, manufactures specialized medical equipment and field medical gear for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor on 835 purchase orders and delivery orders under small-business-set-aside vehicles. All recent work is prime (100% prime footprint); the vendor does not subcontract. Fleming is a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Chicopee, Massachusetts, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations on individual task orders, though the company's primary indefinite delivery contract vehicle carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation.

Fleming's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical accounts for 807 of 835 awards (96%) representing $2.1 million of the $3.8 million combined potential value across all recent federal work. Secondary customers—the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (six awards, $330 thousand), the Department of Veterans Affairs (five awards), the Department of the Navy (three awards), and the Department of the Army (two awards)—represent minimal diversification. The concentration by potential value is comparable: DLA Troop Support anchors 84% of the combined dollars across identified customer agencies.

Fleming's product portfolio centers on tactical and field medical equipment: medical backpacks (NSN 6530015495301), ACLS drug cases, trauma and burn cases, oxygen bags, operating-room packs, anesthesia packs, post-operation packs, pre-operation packs, narcotics cases, laryngoscope cases, dressing roll packs, and related medical supply containers. Representative awards include a $42,174 delivery order for medical backpacks awarded in October 2024, a $34,576 purchase order for pre-operation packs awarded in December 2024, and a $24,282 delivery order for medical backpacks awarded in September 2025. Individual task orders range from $101 to $42,174. Place of performance is exclusively Chicopee, Massachusetts.

Fleming holds two principal parent vehicles. The primary is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH24D5011, a $249,000 Total Small Business set-aside single-award vehicle running from April 2024 through April 2027, established specifically to supply medical backpacks (NSN 6530015495301) to DLA Troop Support Medical. Under this vehicle, Fleming has received 48 task orders carrying $127 thousand in combined potential value, with individual orders ranging from $639 to $42,174. The second is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH21D5034, a predecessor vehicle carrying 225 task orders valued at $163 thousand in combined potential value. Fleming also maintains a position on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0301K with two recorded task orders. All three vehicles are structured to allow DLA Troop Support to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders against the standing contract authority.

Activity has been volatile: 122 awards in 2022 dropped to 47 in 2023, recovered to 66 in 2024, and grew to 73 in 2025, with 13 awards recorded in the first four months of 2026. The $3.8 million combined potential value and $3.1 million obligated dollars reflect the transaction size and cadence—Fleming receives frequent small orders ($300 to $2,500) rather than a few large contracts. Award frequency masks modest recompete exposure: the source does not surface a defined recompete cliff, but the primary IDC (SPE2DH24D5011) runs through April 2027, meaning approximately 48 active task orders or their renewal will be at risk in the window leading to that date.

Fleming's federal footprint is vertically integrated and operationally simple: the vendor manufactures and ships medical equipment directly from its Chicopee facility to DLA Troop Support Medical under small-business vehicles, with no identified subcontracting or teaming arrangements. The business model depends on sustained DLA demand for a narrow product category (field medical backpacks and related hard cases) and on Fleming's ability to meet rapid-fulfillment requirements (many awards carry 5- to 30-day delivery windows). Concentration risk with a single customer and a single product line defines the competitive and financial profile.
