MAK Engineering Services

MAK Engineering Services, a HUBZone-certified minority-owned small business based in Columbus, Ohio, manufactures and supplies electrical equipment, lighting systems, batteries, and vehicular components to federal agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The sole proprietorship holds SBA HUBZone certification, self-certified small disadvantaged business status, Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification, and Black American ownership designation. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, which account for the majority of its recent award footprint; roughly one-third of awards carry no set-aside designation.

MAK's customer base concentrates with the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime dominates the footprint at 24 awards valued at $1.9 million combined potential value (63% of all awards and 64% of combined potential value), with DLA Aviation accounting for 7 awards at $273 thousand. The Department of the Interior National Park Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of the Air Force round out the top five. The vendor has worked with 22 distinct federal agencies across defense, interior, commerce, and veteran affairs portfolios. DLA's concentration is driven by recurring purchase-order buys of components classified under lighting fixtures (17 awards), electric lamps (6 awards), and vehicular components (4 awards under Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing NAICS 336992).

Recent concrete work includes a $184.5 thousand Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation for 659 units of light guide assemblies (May 2024), a $146.7 thousand Total Small Business award from the National Park Service for 395 solar bollard lights for American Memorial Park in Saipan (September 2025), a $147 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for winterization parts kits (August 2025), a $78.8 thousand National Park Service order for standardized lighting repairs on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. (September 2024), and a $51.7 thousand Total Small Business award from the Bureau of Reclamation for replacement 48VDC microwave battery systems at Black Canyon Dam in Idaho (September 2025). The vendor also holds two five-year Indefinite Delivery contracts: a $114.1 thousand IDIQ with NOAA (September 2025 through August 2030) for incandescent obstruction lights for airport wind towers, and a $42.8 thousand IDIQ with the Department of Veterans Affairs (September 2025 through August 2030) for battery procurement supporting the Veterans Health Administration.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, with 30 awards compared to 7 in 2024 and 6 in 2023. Combined potential value across all 56 awards reaches $3 million, with $1.8 million (60%) obligated. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure valued at $223 thousand. The vendor does not hold a seat on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; work flows through agency-specific purchase orders and single-award indefinite delivery contracts. MAK operates entirely as a prime contractor—no sub-award footprint appears in the source data. The award portfolio reflects manufacturing and supply capability across electrical equipment (lighting fixtures, lamps, lampholders, ballasts), batteries (including rechargeable, gel, and hearing-aid variants), and vehicular components, with place of performance consistently in Columbus, Ohio, and delivery to DLA depots or agency-specific sites.
