Industrial Painters Associates And Services Inc.

Industrial Painters Associates And Services Inc., doing business as United Industries Group, supplies maritime equipment and specialized mechanical components to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business based in College Station, Texas. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and holds four single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each with a $250,000 ceiling, covering outboard engines, switch assemblies, rotary pumps, and fluid filter elements to support military, homeland security, and civil agency operations.

United Industries Group's customer footprint concentrates heavily on the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 25 of 41 prime awards (61%) and $1.4 million of the $2.2 million combined potential value (64%). The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Pacific West Region, with 2 awards valued at $224 thousand, and the Department of Homeland Security's Coast Guard, with 3 awards totaling $123 thousand, rank second and third by dollar value. Distinct customers span twelve federal agencies, including the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Fish and Wildlife Service, but DLA's dominance is decisive both in award count and value. Recent capability work includes a $91,417.65 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in September 2024 for outboard engine supply, a $199,661.59 purchase order from the National Park Service in February 2023 for eight outboard motorboat engines to Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a $74,305 purchase order from U.S. Special Operations Command in August 2021 for Mercury outboard engine parts, and a $46,394.14 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in June 2024 for Mercury 150CXL fourstroke outboard motors supporting acoustic research operations in Bayview, Idaho.

United Industries Group's vehicle position consists of four DLA Land and Maritime single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The most recent, awarded December 9, 2024, carries a $250,000 ceiling and has generated three delivery orders totaling $53,550 as of October 2025, with the first two completed and a third scheduled for October 29, 2025. An earlier DLA contract (awarded January 24, 2024, with ultimate completion January 23, 2025) also has a $250,000 ceiling and has fielded two delivery orders for outboard engines valued at $18,283.53 and $91,417.65. A third IDV (awarded September 15, 2021, with ultimate completion September 15, 2022) carried a $250,000 ceiling and supported five switch assembly delivery orders between October 2021 and March 2022 ranging from $176 to $2,552.

Activity has declined substantially from 16 awards in 2021 to 3 in 2025, reflecting the vendor's shift from dispersed small orders across multiple DLA vehicles to consolidated work under the four active indefinite delivery contracts. Eleven awards in the 41-award portfolio carry $0 ceiling values, indicating minimal pricing in those orders or data capture issues. The vendor has obligated $989 thousand against $2.2 million in potential value (44% realization rate), suggesting a subset of awarded delivery orders remain unfulfilled or unpriceable at award time. Because United Industries Group operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract relationships, there is no sub-tier footprint to characterize. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: outboard engines and marine propulsion components (15 awards under PSC Gasoline Reciprocating Engines), switch assemblies and electrical components (8 awards), pumps and filters (5 to 8 awards across multiple NAICS), and gear and transmission elements (3 awards). This concentration reflects positioning as a parts distributor and equipment supplier rather than a systems integrator, with work almost entirely rooted in DLA's standing inventory of maritime and propulsion equipment requirements.
