Hy-Tek Manufacturing Co., Inc.

Hy-Tek Manufacturing Co., Inc., doing business as HMC, is a woman-owned small business manufacturer of precision machined components and assemblies for defense applications, operating as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across the Department of Defense and competing in full-and-open procurement without consistent reliance on small business set-asides — though HMC holds both Total Small Business and unrestricted awards. Based in Sugar Grove, Illinois, the company has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002 and derives its revenue from component manufacturing for ammunition, aviation, vehicle systems, and expeditionary equipment platforms.

HMC's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Army programs. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 71% of recent awards, with the Department of the Army (73 awards, $413 thousand combined potential value) and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (32 awards, $690 thousand) anchoring volume. However, the dollar concentration diverges sharply: the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Office Ammunition (5 awards) carries the largest dollar payload at $17.8 million combined potential value, driven by a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $10.7 million through January 2027 for projectile nose plugs and support cups. This IDC underpins HMC's federal footprint — a $10.7 million ceiling with annual production targets between 30,000 and 50,000 units per component type has generated four named delivery orders totaling roughly $6.3 million obligated to date. Representative concrete work includes a $3.2 million delivery order from PEO Ammunition for support cups (July 2023), a $1.5 million delivery order for nose plugs and support cups (July 2024), a $998 thousand delivery order for the same components (June 2025), and an SBIR Phase I award valued at $249 thousand from the Army for laminated metallic armor research (November 2024). Smaller purchase-order activity spans cylindrical roller bearings for DoD Aviation (multiple orders valued $5,660 to $19,440) and tandem roller assemblies for Naval Supply Systems Command ($587 thousand and $712 thousand purchase orders in 2023–2024).

Vehicle position shows concentration on Army-managed indefinite delivery contracts. The largest named vehicle is DACA8799D0006 (69 task orders, $132 thousand combined potential value), with additional task order volume under DACA8792D0151 (10 task orders), DACA8791D0046 (6 task orders), W52H0908D0314 (4 task orders, $501 thousand), and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0607N (12 task orders, $468 thousand). Work performed under these vehicles centers on armament training devices, bearing manufacturing, and ammunition-related components.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years (4 to 5 awards annually in 2022–2025), with minimal recompete exposure: only one award (valued at $999 thousand) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The source data documents 197 total prime awards dating to 1991, with $516.6 million combined potential value and $62.8 million obligated to date — signaling a long-standing vendor relationship with shallow current obligated penetration. HMC's award portfolio by NAICS concentration skews toward iron and steel forging (50 awards) and ball and roller bearing manufacturing (17 awards), with PSC distribution led by armament training devices (73 awards) and bearings (17 awards). Subcontractor relationships identified in the source include Cornell Forge Company (raw forgings), Rhinehart Development Corp (zinc phosphate and topcoat finishing), and Shurpac, Inc. (e-coating), all supporting the core ammunition-components work stream under PEO Ammunition delivery orders.
