Jay Bee Machine Works, Inc.

Jay Bee Machine Works, Inc., a small business precision machining manufacturer based in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime contractor supplying industrial, military, and nuclear-grade hardware components and mechanical parts to the Defense Logistics Agency across multiple divisions. The company competes predominantly full-and-open, with no special SBA set-aside designations appearing across most of its prime contract footprint, though it holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts carrying Total Small Business set-aside language.

Jay Bee's capability portfolio centers on precision-engineered fasteners, bearings, bushings, sleeves, pumps, and valve cartridges manufactured to support military equipment maintenance and logistics operations. Representative work includes a $45.5 thousand purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for lubricating transfer pumps awarded December 2024; a $26.8 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for a regulating and float valve awarded June 2024; and a $22.2 million delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for a hydraulic pump awarded May 2024. The company also holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $250 thousand non-set-aside single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for aircraft hand pumps running through April 2029; a $250 thousand Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for hydraulic pumps running through April 2025; and a newly awarded $250 thousand Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for hydraulic pumps through August 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme and poses recompete risk. DLA Aviation alone accounts for 648 awards totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value, with DLA Land and Maritime placing 184 awards for $3.2 million combined potential value. Together these two DLA divisions represent approximately 73% of the vendor's award count and drive 94% of its potential value. The remaining DLA divisions (Troop Support Hardware with 176 awards for $383 thousand and Troop Support Construction and Equipment with 60 awards for $327 thousand) round out a customer base nearly 100% concentrated within Defense Logistics Agency, with only token exposure to the Department of the Navy.

Jay Bee's activity trajectory shows sharp contraction. Awards per year declined from 121 in 2022 to 69 in 2025, with only 14 awards issued through mid-April 2026. Combined potential value across all 1,116 awards in the source stands at $5.8 million, with $4.3 million obligated. Only eight awards complete within the next twenty-four months, carrying $18 thousand combined potential value, signaling minimal near-term recompete exposure but also limited pipeline velocity.

The company's procurement concentrates in commodity hardware categories. Ball and roller bearing manufacturing dominates at 461 awards; hardware manufacturing accounts for 150 awards; bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers represent 139 awards. By Product Service Code, bearings and pins lead, followed by pumps and hand-dispensing equipment. Purchase orders typically range from under $500 to roughly $45 thousand, with individual IDC task orders occasionally reaching $35 thousand. Most awards carry delivery requirements of 45 to 99 days and land within single and small indefinite delivery vehicles established with specific DLA divisions rather than government-wide acquisition contracts or schedule vehicles.
