Kwat Enterprises Corp.

Kwat Enterprises Corp., a Norfolk, Virginia-based veteran-owned small business, supplies precision mechanical, electronic, and electrical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on thousands of firm fixed-price purchase orders, competing exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) contracting.

Kwat Enterprises operates almost entirely as a prime contractor—99.98% of its 5,996 awards in the source data carry prime status, with negligible subcontract exposure (one sub-award from February 2024 to M.C. Cleans Vendor for fiber and cable connector backshells). The vendor's footprint is dominated by purchase orders under $15,000, typically awarded with 15–30 day performance windows. Recent representative work includes a $40,000 order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on March 6, 2026, for flat washers; a $17,000 DLA Aviation order on November 25, 2025, for a leveler assembly; a $30,000 DLA Land and Maritime Total Small Business set-aside on October 15, 2025, for an alternating current motor; and a $15,000 DLA Land and Maritime Total Small Business set-aside on October 27, 2025, for an electronic amplifier. Across the five-year window in the source, approximately 99% of awards carry no set-aside designation, though occasional Total Small Business designations appear (roughly 0.5% of recent orders). The company does not compete on GWACs, BPAs, or government-wide IDIQs; its parent vehicles are single-award or limited indefinite-delivery contracts under Navy-specific vehicles (N0010486C3643, N0018182C0298, and others).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 2,767 awards (46% of total prime awards, $6.2 million combined potential value), while DLA Aviation adds 1,885 awards (31%, $3.7 million). DLA Troop Support Hardware contributes 871 awards ($1.1 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment provides 163 awards ($550 thousand). The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command rounds out the top five with 124 awards ($210 thousand). These five customers cover 97% of awards by count and 98% by potential value—a striking concentration within a single agency (DLA) and two divisions (Land and Maritime, Aviation). The vendor has served 19 distinct federal agencies in total, but DLA exposure dominates overwhelmingly.

Kwat's capability portfolio centers on discrete mechanical and electrical components for military equipment maintenance: valves, nuts, washers, bolts, screws, connectors, bearings, springs, switches, relays, capacitors, thermostats, hose assemblies, tube assemblies, brackets, and similar precision parts. Top NAICS categories are Hardware Manufacturing (866 awards), Bolt/Nut/Screw/Rivet/Washer Manufacturing (675 awards), Industrial Valve Manufacturing (367 awards), Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (341 awards), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (313 awards). Top PSC codes include Valves Nonpowered (422 awards), Hardware Commercial (421 awards), Hose/Pipe/Tube/Lubrication Fittings (403 awards), Bushings/Rings/Shims/Spacers (266 awards), and Nuts and Washers (264 awards). The work is almost entirely off-the-shelf component supply; no systems integration, engineering, or service elements appear in the award descriptions.

Activity has declined modestly but remained stable. Kwat received 461 awards in 2022, 442 in 2023, 375 in 2024, and 373 in 2025; 2026 year-to-date shows 87 awards (reflecting only the first quarter in the source snapshot dated July 2026). Combined potential value across all 5,996 awards totals $12 million, though obligated amounts ($12.7 million) exceed potential value, indicating that many orders have been fully performed and invoiced. The recompete posture is not granular—individual purchase orders are awarded and completed within 15–60 days, so "recompete risk" is continuous and event-driven rather than cliff-concentrated. Kwat has maintained this supply-chain relationship with DLA continuously since at least the early 1980s (first award in source data: March 15, 1982); the vendor is a mature, long-standing federal supplier of small parts rather than an emerging or growing contractor.

Kwat holds no special SBA certifications or set-aside eligibility beyond veteran-owned small business status. It competes on price and availability in full-and-open solicitations for discrete components and maintains no formal teaming relationships or subcontractor footprint visible in the source. The sole sub-award (M.C. Cleans Vendor, 2024) appears to be incidental and is not characteristic of the vendor's business model. Kwat Enterprises functions as a narrow-band, high-volume, low-dollar-value component supplier locked into DLA's supply chain—highly specialized in maintenance parts for military aviation and maritime platforms, with no cross-agency diversification or vehicle leverage beyond single-award contracts.
