Hurlen Corporation

Hurlen Corporation, operating through its Kenig Aerospace Division, supplies high-precision metal bars, plates, sheets, structural components, and specialty alloys to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in the full-and-open market without set-aside restrictions on most individual purchase orders. The company is a Hispanic American-owned, minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Plantation, Florida, with operations in Sunrise, Florida and Santa Fe Springs, California.

Hurlen's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in metal components for military aerospace and logistics operations. The vendor holds a $250,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded March 28, 2025, through July 2028) for metal sheets and structural products, under a total small business set-aside, with one delivery order executed to date. More significantly, the company maintains a $9 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex, one of the largest vehicles in its portfolio by dollar value. Recent representative work includes a $174,500 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA for metal plates (January 13, 2026); a $64,833.20 total small business set-aside order for metal plates (February 17, 2026); a $47,022.21 total small business set-aside for metal plates (February 24, 2026); and numerous smaller firm fixed-price orders for metal bars, sheets, structural angles, and specialty materials ranging from under $500 to $34,488.25, awarded by DLA Construction and Equipment, DLA Aviation, and DLA Land and Maritime divisions.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment dominates the award count at 3,828 awards (44% of total volume) valued at $14.9 million combined potential value; DLA (generic) follows with 2,536 awards at $13.6 million; DLA Aviation contributes 972 awards at $3.4 million; and the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex anchors the dollar ranking at 3 awards worth $18.9 million combined potential value. These five entities represent 96 percent of award count and 84 percent of combined potential value. The vendor works with 27 customer agencies total, but the spread is heavily weighted to DLA components and Air Force sustainment commands.

Activity has declined significantly year over year: 977 awards in 2022, 811 in 2023, 719 in 2024, 589 in 2025, and 141 through mid-2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $85.2 million with $51 million obligated (60 percent of potential value). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months shows 13 awards expiring with combined potential value of only $236 thousand—a minimal recompete exposure relative to the vendor's portfolio.

The top five parent contract vehicles by task order volume are Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contracts F0965001A0064 (257 task orders), F0965096A0089 (10 task orders), FA863420D2704 (7 task orders), SPE7M821D61LL (6 task orders, $20 thousand combined potential value), and N6893611D0010 (5 task orders, $132 thousand combined potential value). The vendor competes as a prime across these IDCs rather than as a subcontractor; sub-award activity is minimal at 23 awards (less than 0.3 percent of total portfolio). Hurlen operates as a subcontractor to The Boeing Company on Space Launch System (SLS) Stages Production and Evolution Contract (SPEC) work, awarded December 12, 2025, for technology-related support.

Capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: the vendor manufactures nonferrous and ferrous metal components including bars, rods, plates, sheets, structural angles, channels, beams, tubing, wire, foil, and specialty alloys (titanium, nickel-based, stainless steel) for aerospace and defense applications. Top NAICS codes reflect this concentration: Nonferrous Metal Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (1,797 awards); Nonferrous Forging (1,551 awards); Iron and Steel Forging (1,132 awards); and Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing (934 awards). Top PSC codes show parallel concentration: Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Foil; Nonferrous Base Metal (2,499 awards); Bars and Rods (1,464 awards); and Bars and Rods, Nonferrous Base Metal (1,410 awards).

The vendor is a child of a parent Hurlen Corporation entity also registered as a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, both organized as Subchapter S corporations. The corporate structure carries no visible holding company or complex subsidiary network in the source; the Kenig Aerospace Division name appears to be a doing-business-as designation rather than a separate legal entity.
