Krobach Mfg. Corp.

Krobach Mfg. Corp., doing business as Krobach Manufacturing Corp., manufactures precision-engineered mechanical components and spare parts for military applications as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, with nearly all recent work consisting of firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for specialized hardware, shafts, valves, bearings, and related parts under $50,000 each. The company is a for-profit manufacturer based in Hayward, California, operating across full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation on the majority of its portfolio, though it does compete and win under Total Small Business set-asides on a recurring basis.

Krobach's customer concentration is extraordinarily high and singular. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 97% of recent awards by both count and potential value, with the breakdown dominated by DLA Land and Maritime (1,573 awards, $10.6 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (795 awards, $7.1 million). DLA Troop Support Hardware (273 awards, $1.7 million) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (67 awards, $473 thousand) round out the active set. This concentration reflects Krobach's core business: supplying commodity and specialized mechanical replacement parts into the Defense Logistics Agency's spare parts distribution network. The company has been a registered federal contractor since 2001 and has secured over 250 prime contracts within the past five years, according to contract summaries in the source material.

Capability portfolio centers on precision manufacturing of metal components. Representative work includes a $42,350 purchase order for flared tube sleeves (May 2025), a $51,475 contract for linear actuator pistons in a total small business set-aside (July 2024), a $48,250 shouldered shaft procurement under small business set-aside (July 2024), and a $43,800 order for labyrinth packing components (September 2024). The company manufactures shouldered shafts, bearing sleeves, plug retainers, worm shafts, fluid valves, spacer sleeves, washers, nuts, gears, and related assemblies. All work is performed at Krobach's Hayward facility with no identified subcontractors across the recent award portfolio. Two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts anchor ongoing supply relationships: a single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for Gearshaft, Spur components (awarded February 2026, $350,000 ceiling through February 2027) and a single-award IDC also with DLA Land and Maritime for shouldered shafts (awarded November 2025, $250,000 ceiling through November 2025). Both are structured as automated indefinite-delivery contracts with guaranteed minimums and estimated order frequencies.

Activity has declined year over year from a baseline of 158 awards in 2022 to 19 in the first four months of 2026, a trajectory driven by the nature of commodity parts procurement—high volume, low unit value, and episodic demand. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months totals 13 awards with combined potential value of $134 thousand, a modest runway reflecting the small ceiling values and short performance periods characteristic of the vendor's contract footprint.

Primary NAICS categories are Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (579 awards), Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (314 awards), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (312 awards). Product Service Code concentration follows: Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment (592 awards), Bearings Plain Unmounted (335 awards), and Nuts and Washers (248 awards). This categorization reflects the high-volume, low-complexity mechanical parts manufacturing that defines the vendor's federal role.

Krobach holds no seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple-award IDIQs, or GSA Schedules. The vendor operates exclusively as a direct supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency through individual purchase orders and single-award indefinite-delivery contracts, with no teaming or subcontract relationships visible in the source data. Across 2,860 total prime awards in the source portfolio, zero subcontract work is reported, indicating Krobach performs all manufacturing directly and operates as a standalone supplier rather than a prime integrator or team player. The vendor's footprint is entirely concentrated in DLA spare parts procurement and poses no competitive threat to systems integrators, engineering services providers, or information technology contractors—only to other precision parts manufacturers competing for DLA purchase orders and IDC positions.
