Ibide Corporation

Ibide Corporation, doing business as Ibide International Corp, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Woodstock, Maryland, supplies industrial components and aerospace hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively, with over 4,000 federal awards since 2009 concentrated on single-award indefinite delivery contracts and firm fixed-price purchase orders under no set-asides and Total Small Business designations. The company competes across both open and set-aside procurements, with NAICS footprint concentrated in fastener manufacturing (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), hardware manufacturing, and gasket and sealing device production.

Ibide's customer base is entirely within Defense Logistics Agency subdivisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division dominates both award count and dollar value, with 1,571 awards carrying $26.9 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation with 1,497 awards and $9.7 million combined potential value. DLA Troop Support divisions in Construction and Equipment, Hardware, and Medical services round out the remaining volume. This concentration reflects Ibide's core business: supplying replacement parts, fasteners, seals, springs, and industrial components that sustain military readiness across aviation platforms, land vehicles, shipboard systems, and medical logistics. Recent representative prime work includes a $249,978 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for 6,100 units of self-locking nuts awarded by DLA Aviation in November 2025; a $148,701 purchase order from DLA Aviation for hexagon plain nuts awarded December 2025; a $135,960 purchase order for machine bolts from DLA Aviation awarded December 2025; and a $37,775 purchase order for retaining clips from DLA Aviation awarded December 2025. Smaller orders—many under $5,000 and some with zero recorded ceiling values in the award listings—dominate the portfolio volume. Ibide holds nine single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation divisions, each carrying $250,000 to $350,000 ceiling values, generating recurring task orders throughout their performance periods.

Activity has accelerated markedly: 311 awards in 2022, 337 in 2023, 316 in 2024, then 787 in 2025—a significant jump reflecting automated purchase-order volume from the nine IDIQs. Forty-two awards have come in 2026 year-to-date. Obligated dollars stand at $13.3 million against $38.1 million combined potential value across the portfolio, indicating the company is performing against ceiling values that continue to generate orders. Thirty-two awards will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $516 thousand in combined potential value—a recompete exposure concentrated on the renewal of existing IDIQ and BPA relationships rather than on large, discrete contracts.

Ibide's competitive posture reflects its role as a reliable small business vendor in DLA's automated procurement ecosystem: it does not hold parent GWAC or other government-wide vehicle seats, does not operate as a subcontractor to primes, and does not pursue large-dollar defense systems or integration work. Instead, it competes for high-volume, low-dollar industrial component awards where small business set-asides and automated IDIQs create predictable, recurring demand. Woman-owned small disadvantaged business status, combined with core manufacturing capability in fasteners, hardware, and seals, positions Ibide favorably in DLA's Total Small Business set-aside solicitations and open procurements where competition favors vendors with inventory depth and rapid fulfillment capability.
