Grand Industries Inc.

Grand Industries Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Grand Haven, Michigan, supplies specialized automotive parts, mechanical assemblies, and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor on a predominantly full-and-open basis, with recurring small business set-asides across a portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company holds no SBA certifications and competes in unrestricted procurement vehicles alongside other commercial vendors.

Grand Industries manufactures concrete defense components: vehicular air springs, fifth wheel assemblies (critical coupling devices for military ground vehicles and trailers), pintle hooks, preformed hoses, structural vehicle frames, solenoid valves, pneumatic brake valves, safety relief valves, reciprocating compressors, bearing assemblies, fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, washers, cotter pins), manual control handles, shock absorbers, and miscellaneous machined parts supporting military ground vehicles, maritime vessels, and aviation equipment. Representative awards include a $435,816.93 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2026) for air springs and vehicular components; a $274,607.58 purchase order (August 2025) for reciprocating compressors under total small business set-aside; a $443,280.66 delivery order (November 2025) for air springs without set-aside; and a $403,306.89 delivery order (August 2025) for vehicular air springs. The company also holds a significant $6.09 million IDC (referenced in award narratives) enabling broad delivery order placement across multiple component categories.

DLA Land and Maritime dominates the customer base, accounting for 1,258 awards worth $54 million in combined potential value—approximately 86% of the prime footprint. DLA Aviation places another 238 awards worth $2.4 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware accounts for 262 awards worth $790 thousand. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal has executed 43 awards worth $3.4 million. These five customers cover 97% of the combined potential value, indicating narrow customer concentration within DLA.

Grand Industries holds a deep bench of single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime, each capped at $250,000 to $350,000, covering specific NSNs: vehicular air springs (NSN 2510015585633, awarded September 2025 with $156,705 obligated), fifth wheel lock sets (NSN 2510011826876), fifth wheel plate assemblies (multiple NSNs), structural vehicle frames, pintle hooks (NSN 2540015584395), preformed hoses, spring compression sliders, air drier assemblies, equalizing beams, and filler opening caps. A parallel set of single-award vehicles with DLA Aviation covers straight-headed pins and related fasteners. The top parent vehicle by task-order count is IDC SPE7LX18D5058 with 30 task orders valued at $3.1 million, followed by SPE7L019D0012 with 21 task orders valued at $1 million. These vehicles enable the DLA to issue rapid delivery orders without full re-competition, leveraging pre-negotiated pricing and delivery schedules.

Activity has grown modestly: 103 awards in 2022 to 126 in 2024 to 131 in 2025, reflecting steady baseline demand for component replenishment across military logistics. Twelve awards worth $709 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure if the DLA rebids those specific IDCs or consolidates component requirements.

Grand Industries operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source contains no subcontract activity. Award patterns show the company competing across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, though approximately 50% of recent purchase orders and delivery orders carry total small business set-aside designation despite the absence of formal 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations in the vendor record. The company's footprint spans NAICS codes 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing), 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing), 336330 (Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components Manufacturing), 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), with procurement support concentrated in PSC categories 25 (Vehicular Equipment Components), 48-P (Valves), 49 (Maintenance/Repair Shop Equipment), and hardware-related PSCs. NAICS concentration in fastener and hardware manufacturing (219 and 214 awards respectively) and other motor vehicle parts (164 awards) reflects the commodity-driven nature of DLA ordering, with delivery orders sized to replenish shelf stock across geographically dispersed depots in the continental United States and overseas locations via consolidation and containerization points.
