Iron Gate International LLC

Iron Gate International LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned (Black American) small business based in Schererville, Indiana, supplies industrial components and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation across its recent award footprint.

Iron Gate operates as a limited liability partnership structured for profit and holds dual SBA certifications as a woman-owned small business and minority-owned business. The vendor's product portfolio centers on fastening hardware, electrical and hydraulic components, and energy storage equipment — categories reflected across nine purchase orders awarded since November 2025. Representative awards include a $3,731 Defense Logistics Agency Aviation purchase order for lag screws (awarded April 14, 2026, completion by June 15, 2026), a $2,394 Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime order for battery storage equipment (awarded December 11, 2025, completion by January 20, 2026), and a $460 Land and Maritime order for insulation plate (awarded November 18, 2025, completion by February 17, 2026). The vendor's product mix aligns with NAICS categories in bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing; battery manufacturing; rubber and plastics hoses and belting; fluid power valve and hose fitting; and pumping equipment.

Customer concentration is narrow and highly skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for eight awards and $3 thousand in combined potential value (89% of the footprint by award count). Defense Logistics Agency Aviation represents the remaining award (1 award, $4 thousand potential value). Performance occurs at the vendor's Schererville, Indiana facility across all awards. Iron Gate holds no seats on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide vehicles in the source data and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Activity remains sparse — six awards in 2025, three in 2026 — with combined potential value across all nine awards totaling $7 thousand. No awards face recompete within the next twenty-four months; the most recent completion date in the portfolio is June 15, 2026.
