About the company
Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Company, Inc., operating as Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Co, is a Corpus Christi, Texas-based, self-certified small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned manufacturer that supplies wire rope, sling assemblies, chain linkages, and rigging hardware to federal agencies, primarily as a prime contractor on small purchase orders. The company competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides; its 18 prime awards (95% of recent activity) reflect unset-aside purchase orders across civilian and defense agencies.
Kennedy Wire Rope's customer base is fragmented across eleven distinct federal agencies with no dominant customer. The top five by award count and potential value account for 58% and 78% of recent awards respectively, led by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (3 awards, $16 thousand combined potential value), the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (2 awards, $10 thousand), the Department of the Navy (3 awards), the Department of the Army (2 awards), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (1 award, $8 thousand). The spread reflects Kennedy's position as a specialty supplier serving transactional demand across multiple customer organizations rather than anchoring to a single department or contracting vehicle.
The vendor holds a single named parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract DACW3888C0098 with the Army Corps of Engineers, which houses two task orders. Kennedy's award portfolio spans primary NAICS categories in Rope, Cordage, and Twine Mills (4 awards) and Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (3 awards), with PSC concentration in Chain and Wire Rope (8 awards) and Rigging and Rigging Gear (2 awards). Recent prime work includes a January 2026 $5,129.23 firm fixed-price purchase order from Department of Defense Aviation for chain links and end links, delivered in Corpus Christi by June 4, 2026, and an October 2025 $4,620 purchase order from DLA Aviation for chain, link, and connector products. Kennedy subcontracts minimally (1 award, 5% of activity), including a February 2025 wire rope sling and rigging hardware supply order under prime 381 Constructors for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard's multi-mission dry dock facility. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2026, two in 2025, five in 2011, and years of dormancy in between — reflecting ad-hoc small-purchase demand rather than sustained contracting relationships. Combined potential value across all awards totals $64 thousand, with $119 thousand obligated, indicating that work has been invoiced beyond posted ceiling values.
