Conner Industries, Inc.

Conner Industries, Inc. Guardian Packaging Industries Division, operating as Guardian Packaging Industries, supplies protective packaging materials and specialized containers to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as both a prime contractor (70% of recent awards) and subcontractor (30%), with no set-aside designations across its footprint. The Garland, Texas-based for-profit company specializes in textile bags, foam padding, shipping crates, and aircraft interior protective materials, supported by a 79-award portfolio spanning defense aerospace primes and federal logistics customers.

Guardian Packaging's customer concentration splits between defense primes and government logistics buyers. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center leads by award count with 13 awards, while the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Jesup accounts for 11 awards ($40 thousand combined potential value). When ranked by dollar potential, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the top tier with a single $800 thousand award, followed by the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Missiles and Space (5 awards, $494 thousand), the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command (5 awards, $317 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers by potential value represent 79% of combined potential dollars. Guardian Packaging's award portfolio reflects a weighted concentration in textile bags (35 awards under NAICS 324512) and aircraft manufacturing support (21 awards across related NAICS codes), with secondary exposure to foam product manufacturing and corrugated box production.

Guardian Packaging places task orders under five named indefinite-delivery contracts, anchored by the Department of Justice IDC DJU4600003199 (34 task orders, $190 thousand combined potential value) and the Air Force FA863420D2704 (9 task orders). The vendor's subcontract work concentrates heavily under Boeing (15 sub awards spanning F-15EX, F-15E, and F/A-18E aircraft interior packaging and protective materials from 2023 through 2025) and Lockheed Martin (5 sub awards for HIMARS, PATRIOT PAC-3, THAAD, and ATACMS shipping containers and restraint systems). Recent prime activity includes an April 2026 Department of Defense purchase order for $8.26 thousand of cashion polyurethane material (1" thickness x 2" width) with completion in June 2026, performed in Garland, Texas. Activity has grown modestly — two awards in 2018 to eleven in 2025 — with combined obligated dollars ($3.6 million) exceeding combined potential value ($2.2 million), reflecting completed or mature task orders. The vendor's capability footprint aligns tightly with protective packaging for high-value defense systems and federal logistics operations.
