Szczypski, Michael

Szczypski, Michael, doing business as Jordan Products, manufactures precision industrial valves, seals, and specialized mechanical hardware components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a sole proprietorship prime contractor across 460 recent federal awards valued at $35.8 million combined potential value, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, with headquarters in New Paris, Indiana.

Jordan Products is a small business sole proprietorship established in 2001 that has built its federal footprint entirely within the Department of Defense supply chain, specifically the Defense Logistics Agency's three major components. The company competes across both total small business set-aside and unrestricted procurements; recent awards split roughly 40 percent set-aside and 60 percent full-and-open, indicating mature competitive positioning beyond socioeconomic reserves. The vendor's concrete capability set centers on manufacturing gasket, packing, and sealing device components (132 awards); industrial hardware including fasteners, bearings, and washers (106 awards); and industrial valves including fuel disk valves, seat valves, body valves, and stem valves (63 awards). Representative named work includes a $224,887.50 purchase order from DLA Aviation for spur gears, a $3,174,395.70 single-award IDC from DLA Land and Maritime for seals and mechanical components running through July 2028, a $1,924,183.44 single-award IDC from DLA Land and Maritime for seat valves and bolts through December 2027, and a $279,043.50 purchase order from DLA Aviation for valve parts kits awarded in November 2025.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency's three operating components. DLA Land and Maritime leads by award count (187 awards, $11.1 million combined potential value), but DLA Troop Support Hardware leads by dollar value (96 awards, $11.6 million combined potential value), while DLA Aviation holds 111 awards worth $7.1 million. The top five funding entities account for 99 percent of recent awards. All awards are DLA, indicating zero diversification beyond the defense logistics supply chain. Jordan Products holds ten named parent indefinite delivery contracts, each single-award and each with DLA: five vehicles ceiling at or near $250,000 (Troop Support Hardware, Aviation, and Land and Maritime components), one at $350,000 with DLA Aviation awarded November 2025, one at $1,924,183.44 with DLA Land and Maritime, and one at $3,174,395.70 with DLA Land and Maritime through July 2028. Top task-order vehicles by count are IDC SPE5EY14D0535 (31 task orders, $106 thousand), SPE4A720D0422 (19 task orders, $307 thousand), and SPE7MX23D5039 (17 task orders, $307 thousand).

Award activity has declined measurably year over year. The vendor received 90 awards in 2022, 67 in 2023, 50 in 2024, 38 in 2025, and 11 in 2026 through April—a 68 percent drop from the 2022 baseline. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $35.8 million, with $9.5 million obligated (27 percent execution rate), suggesting substantial backlog or ceiling allocation across many low-velocity IDCs. Within the next twenty-four months, seven awards (combined potential value $611 thousand) reach ultimate completion date and face recompete exposure. Jordan Products operates as a sole proprietorship with no named subcontractors and carries no federal contract vehicles as a parent; all awards are direct task orders or purchase orders against DLA IDCs.

Szczypski, Michael, has operated Jordan Products since 2001, positioning the firm as an established niche supplier within the defense mechanical components market. The company's award portfolio splits across gasket and packing (131 awards by PSC code), fastening devices (135 awards), and valve components (85 awards combined), indicating depth in precision mechanical hardware manufacturing rather than broad industrial scope. The first award in the source data dates to December 2000, suggesting the firm's entry into federal contracting predates the 2001 establishment reference, though recent activity dominance derives from the DLA prime relationships built over the subsequent two decades.
