Industrial Alloys Inc.

Industrial Alloys Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Indian Trail, North Carolina, with operations in Lake Park, North Carolina, supplies structural metal components—bars, sheets, plates, angles, channels, and beams—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open; approximately 85% of awards carry no set-aside designation, though the company qualifies as a woman-owned small business and holds one total small business set-aside IDC with DLA Land and Maritime.

The customer base is heavily concentrated in defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for approximately 97% of awards by count across its subordinate commands: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads with 454 awards ($2.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Land and Maritime (113 awards, $1 million), and DLA standalone (379 awards, $674 thousand). The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ranks third with 268 awards ($970 thousand). Within this portfolio, structural shapes dominate the contract mix—402 awards for bars and rods, 313 for plate and sheet, and 302 for structural shapes across NAICS categories centered on iron and steel forging and rolled steel shape manufacturing.

Industrial Alloys Inc. has delivered consistent volume to DLA components. The most recent representative awards include a $24,276.24 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for metal sheets (November 2025), multiple full-and-open sheet metal and bar orders from DLA components ranging from $4,134 to $9,943.57 (August through November 2025), and a $9,895 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for metal bars with delivery to Portsmouth, Virginia (March 2023). The vendor holds a $250,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for metal bars, designated total small business set-aside, awarded February 26, 2025, with a one-year performance period and approximately four orders anticipated annually. Two delivery orders have already executed under this IDC: $4,398.75 (March 2025) and $1,270.75 (May 2025).

Activity has contracted sharply from prior years—103 awards in 2022 to 37 in 2024, with a partial recovery to 58 in 2025 and only 6 recorded through April 2026. Individual purchase order values remain small, typically ranging from several hundred dollars to $15,000, reflecting routine DLA procurement for standardized metal commodities. The combined potential value across the full portfolio sits at $5.6 million, though combined obligated dollars reached $9.3 million, indicating actual invoiced performance exceeds the original potential-value ceiling—a pattern typical of firm fixed-price purchase order contracts with minimal initial value estimates. The vendor operates primarily at its Lake Park facility with delivery to DLA depots and Naval Sea Systems Command sites across CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Sub-award footprint is minimal. Industrial Alloys Inc. holds two subcontract awards under Phoenix International Holdings, Inc., performing fabrication and shaft interface pad work on naval landing craft projects: EX-LCS repairs (April 2025) and CVN 68-class shaft replacement (February 2025). The subcontract channel represents less than one percent of the vendor's federal portfolio.
