Freehold Manufacturing Assembly Company, Inc.

Freehold Manufacturing Assembly Company, Inc., doing business as Freehold Manufacturing Assembly Co Inc., manufactures precision-machined aerospace and defense components as a woman-owned small business prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, delivering bearing rollers, fasteners, bushings, spacers, pins, and related hardware that support military aircraft, land vehicle, and weapons system maintenance. The company is headquartered in Little Silver, New Jersey, and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on DLA contracts; recent awards split between set-aside and full-and-open designations reflect a customer base that values the firm's manufacturing capability regardless of competitive vehicle.

Freehold's customer concentration is extraordinarily narrow and deep. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division accounts for 2,429 awards ($27 million combined potential value) and dominates 98% of the award count by volume; DLA Land and Maritime adds 1,086 awards ($5.3 million), while DLA Troop Support Hardware and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment round out the active set. The two rankings (count and dollar value) track identically — Aviation anchors both volume and dollars — indicating a customer with consistent small-order patterns rather than a few large primes. Over four years of recent activity, Freehold received roughly 240 awards per year; activity has declined slightly from 2022–2023 (247 and 256 awards) to 2025 (213 awards), with 44 awards year-to-date in 2026. Ninety-seven awards reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $719 thousand — moderate recompete exposure in absolute terms, but meaningful given the company's order-dependent business model.

The vehicle footprint is dominated by Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by DLA Aviation. Freehold holds four primary IDC vehicles established in late 2025 and early 2026, each with a $350 thousand ceiling and performance extending through 2030–2031 under Total Small Business set-aside designations (contract numbers 4610130676, 4610131158, 4610129112, 4610133458, 4610134639). An additional single-award IDC with no set-aside (4610131158) carries a $350 thousand ceiling through February 2031. These indefinite-delivery vehicles serve as the contracting spine for Freehold's relationship with DLA; the named parent vehicles in the portfolio (SPE4A719D5324 with 24 task orders, SPE4A614D7146 with 18, SPE4A718D5458 with 17) represent earlier-generation IDCs that continue to draw delivery orders. Individual task orders under these vehicles typically range from $250 to $24,000, with firm fixed-price pricing and performance at the company's Little Silver facility with no identified subcontractors.

Freehold's award portfolio reflects extreme specialization in precision-machined components. The top five NAICS categories—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (675 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (602), Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (551), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (470), and Small Arms Ordnance and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (249)—collectively represent the full scope of the company's work. The top PSC codes mirror this focus: Bearings, Plain, Unmounted (529 awards), Airframe Structural Components (357), Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (334), Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins (308), and Nuts and Washers (222). This is not a diversified manufacturer; Freehold is a single-customer, single-product-category specialist serving DLA Aviation's logistics supply chain for precision-machined aerospace and defense hardware.

The company operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint with no subcontract activity. All manufacturing is performed in-house at Little Silver; the source carries no identified subcontractors across the 4,463 awards in the portfolio. This signals a vertically integrated precision-machining operation capable of delivering the full spectrum of small machined parts and assemblies that DLA Aviation requires for military maintenance operations. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $38.7 million, with $20.3 million obligated (52% of potential), reflecting a backlog of open task orders under active IDCs.

Freehold Manufacturing is a woman-owned small business without evidence of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other overlapping set-aside designations; WOSB status and Total Small Business set-aside eligibility on select IDCs constitute the primary SBA positioning. The company's federal contracting footprint began in 1981 and has matured into a stable, high-volume supplier relationship with a single customer. The business model—steady-state delivery of precision-machined components through indefinite-delivery vehicles—is resilient to individual order fluctuation but concentrated in DLA's budget authority. A competitor or partner evaluating this vendor should note the extreme focus: Freehold has no diversified agency base, no prime relationships outside DLA, and no subcontract revenue. Growth and recompete risk are synonymous with DLA Aviation's procurement posture and budget cycles.
