LBS Enterprises Inc.

LBS Enterprises Inc., doing business as LBS, supplies industrial parts and mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a small-business prime contractor, with 100 percent of its federal award footprint consisting of prime contracts (2,558 awards across multiple vehicles, no subcontract work). The company operates out of White Marsh, Maryland, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations—though it qualifies for and holds multiple Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency.

LBS's capability portfolio centers on the supply of discrete mechanical and industrial components used in military vehicle, vessel, and aircraft maintenance. The company specializes in filter assemblies (fluid filter elements, air filter elements, intake filter bodies), compressors and compressor service parts, valves (safety relief, check, ball, solenoid, discharge), seals and o-rings, gaskets, bearings, belts, hoses, fasteners, and related consumable industrial supplies. Representative recent awards include a $64,233.90 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment for compressed air purification equipment (August 2025), a $62,100 Total Small Business award for 900 units of fluid filter elements to DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025), and a $33,050.24 Total Small Business purchase order for 226 safety relief valves to DLA Land and Maritime (September 2025). Work is performed at the contractor's White Marsh facility, with deliveries routed to DLA distribution centers throughout the continental United States and overseas consolidation points.

Customer concentration is acute and single-threaded. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 1,637 awards (64 percent of the total footprint) with $17 million in combined potential value—representing 78 percent of the vendor's total contracted dollars. DLA Troop Support Hardware (408 awards, $135 thousand), DLA Aviation (194 awards, $531 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (110 awards, $617 thousand) comprise nearly all remaining volume. The top five customers by combined value cover 89 percent of all potential value. DLA Land and Maritime dominates both award count and dollar concentration; no customer diversification is evident. The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard represents the sole non-DLA customer of material note, with 14 awards valued at $275 thousand.

LBS holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000 and set aside for total small business participation. A February 2026 IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (NSN 2910015477532, fluid filter elements, $350,000 ceiling) carries an estimated 12 orders annually with a guaranteed minimum of 21 units. A February 2026 IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (NSN 2940123558118, air cleaner intake units, $350,000 ceiling) anticipates 12 annual orders with a 95-unit minimum. A December 2025 IDC with DLA Aviation (NSN 6685015069458, fuel water element components, $350,000 ceiling) structures roughly four orders per year with a 3-unit minimum. Additional older IDCs with $250,000 ceilings cover filter assemblies, plain encased seals, and related industrial components. The five named parent vehicles listed in the portfolio account for only 34 task orders—indicating that LBS's primary acquisition mechanism is spot purchase orders issued against standing IDCs rather than a reliance on large government-wide vehicles.

Activity has remained relatively steady: 156 awards in 2022, 185 in 2023, 187 in 2024, and 205 in 2025, with 42 awards recorded in the first four months of 2026. The recompete cliff for the next twenty-four months is negligible—only three awards (combined potential value $83 thousand) reach ultimate completion within that window, suggesting limited near-term procurement pressure. The vendor's 2,558-award footprint spans a twenty-five-year history dating to September 1991, demonstrating deep institutional tenure within the DLA procurement ecosystem.

Award magnitude distribution skews heavily toward small orders. Approximately 70 percent of individual purchase orders fall below $5,000; the largest single award in recent activity exceeds $64,000. This pattern is consistent with the Indefinite Delivery Contract model—standing vehicles issue serial small delivery orders for consumable parts rather than program-level procurements. Category concentration by NAICS confirms specialization: air and gas compressor manufacturing (415 awards), bolts, nuts, screws, fasteners (239 awards), industrial valves (238 awards), gaskets and sealing devices (210 awards), and miscellaneous machinery (145 awards) dominate the portfolio. By Product Service Code, compressors and vacuum pumps (445 awards), nonpowered valves (312 awards), centrifugals and filters (211 awards), packing and gasket materials (204 awards), and o-rings (137 awards) characterize the work. LBS operates as a parts-supply vendor with no presence in systems integration, engineering services, or program management. The vendor has obligated $12.4 million of its $21.8 million combined potential value—a 57 percent drawdown rate consistent with active fulfillment of standing supply contracts.
