Kardinero Medikal Sistemler Sanayi VE Ticaret Anonim Sirketi

Kardinero Medikal Sistemler Sanayi VE Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, a Turkish for-profit corporation with a registered facility in Lewisville, Texas, supplies precision fastening components and hardware assemblies to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under 100% of recent awards, competing full-and-open with no SBA set-aside designations at the point of award (though some of its indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside language post-award). The vendor operates exclusively as a direct supplier to Defense Logistics Agency divisions, with 32 recent purchase orders and three indefinite delivery contracts awarded between April 2025 and February 2026.

Kardinero Medikal's capability portfolio centers on commodity hardware components across three primary NAICS categories. Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing accounts for 22 awards, including self-locking nuts (hexagon, extruded, and dovetail variants), hexagon head cap screws, socket head cap screws, machine screws, setscrews, and shouldered washers. Hardware Manufacturing covers three awards for clamping catch components, clamp loops, and closes-tolerance screws. Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing accounts for three awards, chiefly spiral wound gaskets. Representative purchase orders include a $34,776 Total Small Business set-aside for 7,728 self-locking nuts (NSN 5310011261333) delivered to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 in October 2025; a $40,000 Total Small Business set-aside clamping catch order (NSN 5340011718267) for Land and Maritime with December 2025 completion; a $10,374 vehicular bracket procurement for Land and Maritime completed in December 2025; and an $8,100 air intake cover order for Defense Construction and Equipment with December 2025 delivery. All purchase orders are firm fixed-price, performed directly at the Lewisville facility with no subcontractors named.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Land and Maritime. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime holds 9 awards representing $905 thousand in combined potential value, while Defense Logistics Agency Aviation holds 21 awards representing $96 thousand in combined potential value, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds 2 awards representing $16 thousand in combined potential value. The divergence in rankings — Aviation dominates award count while Land and Maritime dominates dollars — reflects Land and Maritime's indefinite delivery contracts and higher-dollar individual procurements. The vendor serves only three distinct customer agencies, all within the Defense Logistics Agency portfolio.

Kardinero Medikal holds three indefinite delivery contracts, each single-award, all with DLA Land and Maritime. A $350,000 IDC for Vehicular Bracket Component C (NSN 2590000103793) carries an ultimate completion date of February 4, 2027, with a guaranteed minimum of 10 units annually and 81-day delivery timelines. A $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC for gasket, packing, and sealing device components (NSN 5330011365248) runs through October 9, 2026, with 343 units minimum and 76-day delivery. A second $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC for clamp loops (NSN 5340009588457) runs through September 19, 2026, with 611 units minimum and 96-day delivery. Combined, these three IDCs establish $850,000 in ceiling value against which DLA places replenishment orders on an as-needed basis.

Activity concentration is acute. The vendor logged 29 awards in 2025 and 3 awards in 2026 year to date, for a total of 32 awards and $1 million combined potential value. Only $168 thousand has been obligated across all awards (17% of combined potential value), reflecting the commodity purchase-order nature of the work — most orders carry modest ceilings and are awarded in discrete tranches. Only one award (the $18,528 self-locking nuts order) completes within the next twenty-four months, representing $19 thousand in recompete exposure through March 2027. The vendor's recent entry into the federal market (first award April 2025) and subsequent rapid volume growth suggest active DLA sourcing of Turkish-manufactured hardware as a supply-chain alternative, but the shallow recompete cliff and commodity-component posture position the vendor as a tactical supplier rather than a strategic DLA partner.
