Kmi, Inc.

KMI Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation manufacturer of industrial and aerospace components based in Mulvane, Kansas, supplies fabricated pipe fittings, couplings, bosses, and aircraft-grade hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency and Department of Defense as a prime contractor on purchase orders (71% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Boeing on military aircraft production programs. The company competes on full-and-open, non-set-aside federal contracts.

KMI Inc.'s customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and military aircraft procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 58 of 73 recent awards (99% combined potential value), split across three DLA components: Land and Maritime dominates with 41 awards worth $221 thousand combined potential value, Aviation with 14 awards worth $13 thousand, and Troop Support Hardware with 3 awards worth $4 thousand. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command and Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center round out the active customer set, with 7 awards each. The source identifies combined potential value across all awards at $238 thousand, though obligated dollars ($2.1 million) significantly exceed that figure, indicating heavy invoice activity against low-ceiling purchase orders characteristic of DLA transactional buying.

KMI Inc.'s capability portfolio spans fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (44 awards, the largest NAICS category by far), aircraft manufacturing and parts supply (9 awards), and aircraft engine and propulsion components (8 awards combined). Representative prime work includes a $10,029 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in January 2024 for coupling-boss components (completion July 2024), a $7,282 purchase order awarded March 2026 for coupling-boss components with performance in Mulvane through September 2026, and a $4,005 purchase order from December 2025 for an adapter straight FL component. All named prime awards are DLA purchase orders with no parent vehicles or set-aside designations, reflecting direct procurement of commercial-grade industrial components.

KMI Inc. serves as a subcontractor exclusively to Boeing, delivering machined and fabricated components for military aircraft production. Recent sub work spans F-15EX advanced procurement (multiple lot awards in 2024 and 2025), F-15 Eagle Active Passive Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) full-rate production, MQ-25 Stingray unmanned tanker programs, and rod-end clevis and bearing housing components for various production increments. Sub awards reflect a cadence of 2 to 3 Boeing call-outs per quarter over the past twelve months, with no disclosed dollar values.

Activity shows growth from 3 awards in 2022 to 12 in 2024 and 11 in 2025, with only 1 award (potential value $7 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor places work under five named vehicles, including indefinite delivery contract FA863420D2704 with 6 task orders and basic ordering agreement N0001921G0006 with 4 task orders, though the bulk of revenue flows through transactional DLA purchase orders outside formal IDVs. KMI Inc.'s PSC profile is dominated by hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings (44 awards), with secondary exposure to guided missile launchers and commercial hardware.
