About the company
Iten Defense LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of composite ballistic armor and related protective systems, operates as a subcontractor on defense prime contracts (85% of recent awards) and carries a modest prime footprint (15%) composed of direct purchase orders from the Department of the Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency. The vendor is headquartered in Ashtabula, Ohio, and is owned by parent company Ohio Armor Holdings, LLC; Iten Defense subsidiaries include Transparent Armor Solutions LLC and MV2 LLC, both manufacturers of goods. The vendor competes in full-and-open categories with no set-aside posture across its recent award history.
Iten Defense's core capability centers on manufacturing plastic composite ballistic armor components and systems, including opaque and transparent armor solutions for vehicle and vessel protection. Representative prime work includes two purchase orders from Naval Supply Systems Command totaling $16.2 thousand for armor plate (one for $13 thousand awarded June 22, 2026, and one for $3.2 thousand awarded February 12, 2026), and a $64 thousand production-lot-testing purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded February 12, 2024. The vendor's subcontract footprint is dominated by Vigor Works LLC, where Iten Defense supplies ballistic armor components and test coupons for low-rate initial production vessel programs (multiple sub-awards in February, September, and November 2025 and 2024). Iten Defense also subcontracts to Ravelin Defense, Inc., providing transparent and composite armor for the LGM-30G Payload Transporter Replacement production program (sub-awards spanning August 2024 through March 2025), and to Booz Allen Hamilton for engineering development integration and armor manufacturing work.
Customer concentration sits with Army and Air Force acquisition directorates. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 85% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center System of Systems Integration Directorate (9 awards), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (6 awards), and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (3 awards). By potential value, the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads with $64 thousand in combined potential value, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command with $16 thousand, though the source notes combined dollars obligated across all awards ($9.6 million) significantly exceeds combined potential value ($80 thousand), suggesting substantial material volume flows beneath the ceiling values on these transactional awards.
Activity has accelerated sharply in 2025 and 2026 after a slower 2023 start — two awards in 2023, nine in 2024, four in 2025, and eleven in the first half of 2026. Iten Defense places most work under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W56HZV17D0086) spanning twelve task orders, with secondary vehicles including the ASTRO contract (2 task orders) and a Watercraft Industrial Support contract (1 task order). By NAICS concentration, the vendor's awards cluster in Ship Building and Repairing (13 awards), Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing (6 awards), and smaller volumes in Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing and Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, reflecting its role as an armor-component supplier to naval, ground-vehicle, and missile-platform programs.
