General Manufacturing CO.

General Manufacturing CO., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) manufacturer based in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, supplies precision-engineered small arms and ordnance components to the Defense Department as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders. The company is self-certified as both a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned business and operates its entire manufacturing footprint from its Bethel Park facility with no documented subcontracting relationships.

General Manufacturing CO.'s federal portfolio centers on Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA LM) and Department of the Army Materiel Command procurement. DLA LM dominates by award count with 208 orders valued at $12 million in combined potential value, while Army Materiel Command's Detroit Arsenal and TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchor the dollar ranking with $21 million and $17.6 million respectively across 15 and 163 awards. The top five customer agencies account for 87% of awards by count; the same agencies account for 99% of combined potential value. The portfolio is heavily concentrated in small arms components — gas regulator collars, receiver uppers, carrying handle assemblies, feed levers, ammunition pawls, and charger slides dominate the active work. NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) covers 280 of 562 total awards; PSC Guns Through 30mm covers 282 awards.

General Manufacturing CO. holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA LM, the largest awarded October 2, 2023, with a $1,769,112.04 ceiling running through October 1, 2028, structured as a total small business set-aside covering gas regulator collars, receiver uppers, carrying handle assemblies, and small arms firing hammers. A second IDV for receiver uppers carries a $672,310.63 ceiling through December 2026 (total small business set-aside, awarded December 2021). Additional IDVs with Army Materiel Command include Indefinite Delivery Contract W52H0908D0253 (14 task orders, $4.4 million combined potential value) and DAAE2003D0162 (13 task orders, $2.2 million). Representative recent task orders include a $141,511.50 delivery order from DLA LM for 1,066 units of feed lever components (June 2025, total small business set-aside), a $599,950.00 purchase order for 2,480 ammunition pawls (November 2024, total small business set-aside), and $59,062.20 and $58,839.40 purchase orders for charger slide components (July 2025, both total small business set-aside).

Activity has declined year over year — 21 awards in 2022 declining to one award so far in 2026 — though the portfolio reflects sustained DLA LM engagement over decades (first award dated June 1986). Only four awards totaling $682 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Set-aside posture is mixed: the five largest IDVs are structured as total small business set-asides, and many individual delivery orders and purchase orders carry total small business or woman-owned small business set-aside designations; however, roughly half of recent task orders are issued without set-aside designation, indicating General Manufacturing CO. wins on competitive pricing under the established vehicle frameworks. All work is performed at the Bethel Park facility on firm fixed-price terms; the vendor has not engaged documented subcontractors across the displayed award history.
