Malcom Company, Inc.

Malcom Company, Inc., doing business as Malcom Technologies, manufactures specialized heating equipment and support tools for federal defense and logistics operations, operating as a prime contractor on 99% of recent awards with no SBA set-aside posture. The Portsmouth, Rhode Island–based for-profit manufacturer competes in full and open competition across defense logistics, naval supply, and federal acquisition channels, with a 26-year federal contracting footprint (first award September 1999) centered on electric heat guns, battery-powered soldering equipment, air start support products, and related thermal and electrical field equipment.

Malcom's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates with 82 awards valued at $18.4 million in combined potential value, accounting for 69% of all awards by count and 59% of total potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command ranks second with 24 awards worth $6.1 million, followed by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $5.3 million) and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (16 awards, $195 thousand). These five agencies account for 97% of the combined potential value. The portfolio spans 34 distinct customer agencies, but the concentration signal is clear: nearly two-thirds of revenue authority sits with DLA Land and Maritime and Navy supply channels.

Malcom places work through three primary parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 65 task orders valued at $2.4 million combined potential value. Two DLA Indefinite Delivery Contracts dominate the transactional footprint: IDC SPE7LX16D0108 (37 task orders, $3.7 million combined potential value) and IDC SPE7MX21D5038 (15 task orders, $1.7 million combined potential value). The latter vehicle surfaces prominently in recent delivery orders for electric heat guns issued between 2021 and 2024, with quantities ranging from 14,700 to 345,450 units per order. Representative prime awards include a $345,450 delivery order for electric heat guns (December 2021), a $218,950 delivery order for heat guns (December 2022), a $139,590 delivery order for electric heat guns (June 2024), a $28,298 purchase order for battery-powered heat guns model MCH-100-A from Naval Air Systems Command (June 2025), and a $60,200 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for seven electric heat guns under a Total Small Business set-aside (March 2025, awarded under full and open competition despite the set-aside designation's presence in the transaction record).

Award activity has remained uneven. The portfolio recorded 8 awards in 2022, 3 in 2023, 9 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 through early April. The combined potential value across all 204 awards totals $31 million, with $16.7 million obligated to date (54% execution rate). Product categorization centers on welding and soldering equipment manufacturing (66 awards) and miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing (55 awards), with procurement service codes driven by miscellaneous maintenance and repair shop specialized equipment (111 awards) and aircraft maintenance and repair shop specialized equipment (13 awards).

Malcom operates as a subcontractor on limited defense platforms. Recent sub-award work includes battery-powered heat gun kits for F-16 support equipment under BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (April 2025) and battle damage assessment and repair kit materials and assembly work under Science and Engineering Services LLC for the Aviation Mission Systems and Architecture International Program Office (January and May 2025). The sub footprint is minimal (1% of recent awards) and concentrated on aircraft support platforms, indicating that Malcom's primary revenue model is direct procurement from DLA and Navy supply channels rather than teaming or subordinate roles.
