Linmarr Associates, Inc.

Linmarr Associates, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Irvine, California, supplies aerospace and defense hardware components to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor, with over 10,000 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts placed primarily through the Defense Logistics Agency across all commodity and logistics divisions since 1994.

The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and holds both SBA woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business designations. Linmarr's capability footprint centers on procuring and delivering spare parts and components for military equipment maintenance: nonmetallic hose assemblies, seal assemblies and gaskets, bearings (ball, annular, and sleeve), valves (ball, regulating flow, solenoid), hydraulic and pneumatic components (pumps, accumulators, parts kits), mechanical hardware (shafts, couplings, gears, fasteners), electrical components (relays, capacitors, connectors, cable assemblies), welding accessories and electrodes, and desiccant dehumidifiers. Linmarr also performs repair and restoration work on military equipment—including bearing units, motor controllers, slip ring assemblies, antenna drive units, and data pack assemblies—leveraging CMMC Level 2 certification and counterfeit prevention protocols to support defense platforms. Representative work includes a $920,380 Air Force Materiel Command definitive contract for repair and restoration of bearing units for the Joint Threat Emitter program (May 2026), an $849,459.60 Naval Supply Systems Command data pack assembly manufacturing contract (August 2025), and a $799,995 DLA Land and Maritime total small business set-aside purchase order for engine cooling radiators (October 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for approximately 96% of recent awards and 90% of combined potential value, split across DLA Land and Maritime (5,389 awards, $151 million), DLA Aviation (2,868 awards, $101.1 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (793 awards, $27.1 million), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (1,222 awards, $15.9 million). Naval Supply Systems Command places a distant fifth with 105 awards worth $8.6 million. The vendor operates exclusively on individual purchase orders and discrete indefinite delivery contracts under DLA vehicles; top parent vehicles include IDC SPM75005D7548 (71 task orders, $1.2 million), SPM75005D7511 (48 task orders, $361 thousand), and SP075002D7934 (40 task orders, $857 thousand). All work is performed at Linmarr's Irvine facility and delivered to DLA distribution centers and military installations nationwide.

Award activity shows a steep decline: 411 awards in 2022 declining to 105 by 2026 year-to-date. Ninety-seven awards (combined potential value $13.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio spans 10,971 prime contracts and IDVs with zero subcontract footprint, and has obligated $301.3 million against a combined potential value of $338 million. Commodity concentration is high: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (713 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment (705 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (662 awards), Gasket and Sealing Device Manufacturing (649 awards), and Fastener Manufacturing (467 awards) dominate NAICS distribution. PSC-level concentration mirrors this, with Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment (700 awards) and Packing and Gasket Materials (682 awards) leading.

Linmarr competes full-and-open on most awards; set-aside posture splits between Total Small Business designations on roughly 10–15% of awards and unrestricted competitions that weight the vendor's inherent small disadvantaged business status as a tiebreaker factor. The vendor holds no parent GWAC, BPA, or government-wide vehicle seats and operates entirely within DLA's supply chain procurement model, executing high-volume, low-dollar transactional orders for consumables and repair services that anchor military equipment readiness across naval, maritime, aviation, and ground-based platforms.
