JD Kruse LLC

JD Kruse LLC, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Bluffdale, Utah, supplies Swagelok industrial components, fittings, connectors, and related hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor predominantly under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates at modest scale — seven total awards across prime (71%) and sub (29%) positions, with $358 thousand in combined potential value and $422 thousand in combined obligated dollars.

JD Kruse LLC concentrates almost entirely on the Army Test and Evaluation Command, which accounts for all five prime awards and $334 thousand of the vendor's combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $232,184 firm-fixed-price purchase order for Swagelok parts awarded May 21, 2025 (completion December 1, 2025, no set-aside designation); a $53,605 total small business set-aside purchase order for fittings and connectors under Unison Buy #1167528_02 awarded April 11, 2024; and a $25,158 total small business set-aside purchase order for Swagelok chemical laboratory parts under Unison Buy #1175773 awarded July 19, 2024. The vendor also holds one award from the Air Force Materiel Command ($24 thousand) and two awards from the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management, the latter routed as a subcontractor on an IDC (Indefinite Delivery Contract 89303321DEM000061) performing tubing fittings supply and pressure system assembler training.

Activity is episodic rather than steady — one award in 2021, three in 2024, two in 2025, one in 2026 — with no multi-year vehicle backbone; all visible work flows through individual purchase orders. The NAICS and PSC profiles reflect the vendor's core capability: fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (three awards), with secondary exposure in remediation services (two awards) and industrial valve manufacturing (one award). PSC codes align to hose, pipe, tube fittings and commercial hardware categories. JD Kruse LLC does not sit on any government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide BPAs visible in the source; its position is order-by-order with ATEC and occasional sub placement on DoE environmental cleanup work. The vendor's small scale and narrow customer and product concentration — Army Test and Evaluation Command for industrial components and DOE for remediation-support services — position it as a niche supplier rather than a strategic teaming partner for larger federal contractors.
