Lokring Mid-Atlantic, Inc.

Lokring Mid-Atlantic, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Norfolk, Virginia, manufactures and supplies high-pressure pipe fittings, couplings, unions, elbows, tees, reducers, and specialized pipefitter tool kits to the federal government as a small-business prime contractor. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with approximately 60 percent of identified awards carrying small business set-aside designations; it holds no sub-award footprint and operates as a prime on 100 percent of its federal contracts.

Lokring's customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 636 of 715 awards (89 percent of volume) and $10.2 million of the $11.2 million combined potential value (91 percent of dollars). The company serves six other defense and civilian agencies—GSA Federal Acquisition Service (30 awards, $412 thousand), Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $113 thousand), Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (10 awards, $94 thousand), Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (9 awards, $124 thousand), and three smaller customers—but DLA Land and Maritime represents the overwhelming majority of both activity and revenue opportunity. Work is performed in Norfolk, Virginia, with shipments to Defense Logistics Agency depots throughout the continental United States and overseas locations.

Lokring's capability portfolio centers on fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (NAICS 332996, 573 awards) and hand tools for pipe installation (NAICS 332212, 48 awards). Representative work includes a $61,612 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime issued January 2, 2026, for 146 units of pipe unions (completion March 27, 2026); a $42,763 order for 287 pipe coupling units awarded November 27, 2024 (completion January 22, 2025); and a $40,147 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard dated March 13, 2024, for ESD tool kits (completion April 30, 2024). The company also supplied $24,000 worth of five pipefitter tool kits to GSA Federal Acquisition Service in November 2023. Product lines include pipe couplings, unions, elbows, tees, reducers, adapters, and Lokring-branded high-pressure fitting installation tool kits designed for 3300 PSI cresent fittings.

The vehicle portfolio consists of six active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a $250,000 to $350,000 ceiling and one-year base terms. Recent IDC awards include a $350,000 ceiling contract dated April 17, 2026 (completion April 17, 2027), a $350,000 contract dated December 16, 2025 (completion December 16, 2026), a $350,000 contract dated November 12, 2025 (completion November 12, 2026), and a $250,000 contract dated November 4, 2024 (completion November 4, 2025). These vehicles are designated total small business set-asides and generate approximately 8 to 12 delivery orders annually per contract, with individual order values historically ranging from $725 to $35,000. DLA typically places orders within 57 to 68 days of solicitation for delivery to consolidation and containerization points serving military depots domestically and overseas.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor received 95 awards in 2022, declining to 54 in 2023, rebounding to 74 in 2024, then dropping to 27 in 2025 and 46 in 2026. Combined potential value across all 715 awards totals $11.2 million, with $7.3 million obligated (65 percent). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months shows only one award (combined potential value $17 thousand) reaching completion—the April 17, 2027 IDC expiration represents a renewal opportunity rather than a near-term recompete exposure, as the contract was recently awarded in April 2026. Lokring carries no sub-award footprint and does not perform as a subcontractor to other primes in the source data. The company registered in SAM.gov in January 2009 and has maintained over 15 years of federal contracting experience as a dedicated supplier to DLA Land and Maritime and subordinate Navy and Coast Guard logistics operations. Its revenue concentration and set-aside posture position it as a specialist vendor in defense supply-chain logistics rather than a diversified federal contractor.
