Manifold & Phalor Inc.

Manifold & Phalor Inc., doing business as US Die & Mold, is a small business manufacturer of precision-engineered hydraulic components and mechanical parts that operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with spare parts and replacement equipment for military maintenance and logistics operations. The company is based in Canal Winchester, Ohio, and competes primarily in full-and-open procurements, though approximately 30% of its recent prime awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

All 160 recent awards in the source data are prime contracts issued by the DLA across four subdivisions. The DLA Land and Maritime subdivision anchors the customer relationship with 60 awards valued at $1.7 million combined potential value, while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 71 awards worth $979 thousand. DLA Aviation contributes 18 awards valued at $39 thousand, and DLA Troop Support Hardware rounds out the portfolio with 11 awards worth $6 thousand. This concentration reflects near-total dependence on a single customer agency and a single mission set — spare parts procurement to sustain military equipment readiness.

Manifold & Phalor's award portfolio spans precision-engineered hydraulic components, mechanical assemblies, and fastener hardware delivered via firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs). Representative work includes a $68,120 Total Small Business set-aside for 26 hydraulic jacks (awarded March 15, 2024 by DLA Construction and Equipment, completion August 15, 2024), a $39,062 Total Small Business set-aside for 55 aircraft repair kits (awarded July 19, 2024 by DLA Land and Maritime, completion August 13, 2024), and a $81,040 Total Small Business set-aside for leg extension kits (awarded August 18, 2025 by DLA Construction and Equipment, completion February 2, 2026). Smaller orders dominate the footprint — the median award appears to fall in the $3,000 to $15,000 range, with historical purchase orders spanning under $500 to approximately $81,000.

The company holds two active single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime: a $350,000 contract awarded February 10, 2026 (performance through February 10, 2027) for swivel casters under Total Small Business set-aside, and a $350,000 contract awarded December 16, 2025 (performance through December 20, 2025) for cylinder assemblies under Total Small Business set-aside. Both are estimated to generate seven to eleven delivery orders annually. A third historical IDC for valve and pump spare parts valued at $250,000 (awarded February 18, 2022, completion February 18, 2023) has reached its ultimate completion date.

Activity has been volatile: 28 awards in 2022, declining to 8 in 2023, recovering to 24 in 2024, then contracting to 17 in 2025 and 5 year-to-date in 2026. Only two awards in the portfolio reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $15 thousand, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has maintained a registered supplier relationship with the DLA since December 1997 and operates entirely without significant subcontractor involvement, performing all work in-house at its Canal Winchester facility. The award portfolio skews toward aircraft ground servicing equipment (71 awards), power and hand pumps (38 awards), and nuts and washers (16 awards) at the PSC level, with primary NAICS concentration in other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (77 awards) and fluid power pump and motor manufacturing (34 awards). Across the portfolio, approximately 56% of combined potential value has been obligated to date, indicating steady draw-down against purchase orders.
