HBD Industries, Inc.

HBD Industries, Inc., operating as Chanute Operations and a subsidiary of parent HBD Industries, Inc. headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, manufactures specialized nonmetallic hoses, guard hose-tubing, air duct components, and protective tubing assemblies for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive federal contracts, with no set-aside participation and production centered in Chanute, Kansas.

The company's federal contracting footprint is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procurement. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 834 awards and $26.9 million in combined potential value — 92 percent of total awards by count and 94 percent by dollars. The remaining customer base includes the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (35 awards, $103 thousand), DLA Aviation (38 awards, $52 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (42 awards, $35 thousand). This concentration reflects HBD's role as a core supplier to DLA's indefinite-delivery contracts for routine replenishment of hose and tubing components across military logistics and maintenance operations.

HBD holds at least six single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each historically valued at $250 thousand. Recent prime awards include a $1,353,673 IDIQ for guard hose-tubing (NSN 4720001067360) awarded March 11, 2026, with a three-year base and optional extensions through March 2029; a $698,526 delivery order under that IDIQ for guard hose-tubing completed August 10, 2026; a $533,407.50 purchase order for hose-tubing guards awarded April 30, 2025; a $228,424.50 first-article test for nonmetallic hoses and related components awarded February 15, 2024; and a $125,774.08 purchase order for flexible duct hose awarded November 22, 2022. The company also supplies the U.S. Coast Guard, receiving an $11,241 purchase order in June 2025 for air conditioning ducting for MH-65 aircraft, and the Department of Defense Aviation division, which awarded a $1,236.86 purchase order for a conduit assembly in October 2025.

Activity has declined materially in recent years — 45 awards in 2022, then 8 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 through April — reflecting a shift from execution of numerous small delivery orders under standing IDIQs toward fewer, larger blanket orders and consolidation of procurement strategy. The total awards footprint spans 1,122 prime contracts and IDVs since 1981, with combined potential value of $28.8 million and $26.8 million obligated (93 percent). The top five parent vehicles (indefinite-delivery contracts SP074000D7408, SPM7M312D0003, SPE7MX16D0111, SPM7MX07D5008, and SPE7MX18D0014) account for 159 task orders across the portfolio.

HBD's capability mix centers on hose and flexible tubing (976 awards) and packing and gasket materials (54 awards) under NAICS codes for miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing (698 awards) and rubber and plastics hoses and belting manufacturing (109 awards). The company holds a single documented sub-award from Raytheon Company dated January 24, 2024, for nonmetallic tubing under a Block 0 to Block 1B effort, indicating limited historical engagement as a subcontractor relative to its dominant prime posture. All awards carry full-and-open competitive designation with no set-aside categories applied, positioning HBD as a commercial supplier competing against the broader industrial base rather than within federal small-business or minority-ownership set-asides.
