Jeffery P Morin

Jeffery P Morin, operating as Hillco Mfg. CO., a Hispanic American-owned, minority-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Fredericksburg, Texas, manufactures specialized safety and support equipment for military aviation and maritime operations as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract footprint. Hillco competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation on the majority of recent awards, though two awards carry Total Small Business set-aside status. The company has maintained continuous SAM registration since 2002 and operates across multiple Defense Logistics Agency divisions through firm fixed-price purchase orders typically valued between $2,800 and $11,175 with performance periods spanning several months.

Hillco's product portfolio centers on rescue slings for helicopters, webbing straps, tie-down strap assemblies, marine seats, aircraft harnesses, flotation collars, and air duct hose — all mission-critical equipment for military aviation and maritime logistics. Recent representative awards include a $35,750 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on March 11, 2026, for 220 units of webbing straps (NSN 5340008812977) with delivery to DLA Distribution San Joaquin; a $10,150 firm fixed-price order from DLA Aviation on July 16, 2025, for helicopter rescue slings; and a $11,175 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on September 24, 2024, for marine seats with completion through February 21, 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency divisions. DLA Aviation accounts for 119 awards and $1.8 million in combined potential value (52% of the prime portfolio by volume), with DLA Land and Maritime at 19 awards and $182 thousand, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment at 21 awards and $155 thousand. These three divisions represent 89% of recent awards. The Department of the Air Force represents 31 awards but with no disclosed potential-value total. No parent vehicles dominate the footprint; Hillco places work under multiple Air Force and DLA indefinite-delivery contracts and basic ordering agreements, including F4160888D2258, F4160885CA867, F4160888C3500, SP053005D5031, and SPM47004D5T11, with two to three task orders per vehicle. The portfolio spans 288 prime awards since 1985, though activity has been sparse in recent years — only two awards in 2024 against nine in 2025 and three through April 2026. Three awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $49 thousand, representing minimal recompete exposure in that window. Hillco's category concentration within the source reflects its specialization: 152 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS), with the remainder spread across Hardware Manufacturing, Aircraft Manufacturing, and Transportation Equipment categories. The PSC distribution mirrors this focus, with 110 awards in Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components and 49 in Parachutes and Cargo Tie-Down Equipment.
