About the company
Heat Wagons Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Valparaiso, Indiana, manufactures and supplies specialized mechanical and electrical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing in full and open federal procurements with no set-aside designations. The company has maintained continuous federal vendor registration since June 2001 and operates exclusively in the commercial prime contracting space—100% of its 556 recent awards are prime contracts, with zero subcontract work.
Heat Wagons' customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 408 awards and $6.6 million of the company's $7.4 million combined potential value across all federal work—roughly 89% of volume and 89% of dollars. The next three DLA divisions (Aviation, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and Troop Support Hardware) together represent only 135 awards and $791 thousand, leaving DLA Land and Maritime as an overwhelming anchor customer. This concentration is characteristic of Heat Wagons' federal posture: it is a single-customer supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency.
Capability work spans mechanical and electrical components procured through DLA's indefinite delivery contract structure. Representative recent orders include a $24,927 delivery order (March 2026) for an alternating current motor under a single-award IDC with a $250,000 ceiling, a $14,324 purchase order (February 2026) for a burner assembly for spa equipment, and a $23,890 delivery order (April 2025) for an alternating current motor. Category concentration reflects this mix: the top five NAICS codes are All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (110 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (45 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (32 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (29 awards), and Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (26 awards). By PSC code, the company's work splits among hose and flexible tubing (110 awards), centrifugals and pressure filters (60 awards), power and hand pumps (44 awards), electrical motors (43 awards), and powered valves (31 awards). The company holds multiple single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime, each with ceilings of $250,000 to $350,000, covering alternating current motors, power transformers, solenoid valves, reciprocating pumps, non-metallic hose assemblies, optoelectronic couplers, and fluid filter elements.
Activity has declined sharply. The company received 34 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 21 in 2025, and 7 through March 2026—a net decline of 79% from peak volume. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $7.4 million with $3.5 million obligated to date. Only one award, valued at $25 thousand, faces completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure. The company competes in competitive, full and open request-for-quotation processes and holds no vehicle positions on GWACs, schedules, or multi-award IDIQs—all awards are single-award DLA IDCs or individual delivery and purchase orders issued under those contracts. Heat Wagons performs all work at its Valparaiso manufacturing facility with no identified subcontractors across the award portfolio, maintaining direct responsibility for production and delivery of all components.
