Marengo Fabricated Steel LTD

Marengo Fabricated Steel LTD, doing business as Lincoln Center Manufacturing, manufactures material handling and logistics support equipment for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime as a prime contractor on a portfolio of approximately twenty-five active indefinite delivery contracts worth $250,000 to $1.97 million each. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) operating as a partnership or limited liability partnership from facilities in Norwalk and Cardington, Ohio, and competes predominantly full-and-open, though several of its IDCs carry total small business set-aside designations at the vehicle level.

The vendor's concrete capability set is highly specialized: design and manufacture of material handling equipment components including telescoping supports, transportable jacks, ground stake kits, pneumatic wheel assemblies, sideboards, extension shafts, and access covers—all consumable components essential to global military warehousing and supply chain operations. Representative prime awards include a $41.997 thousand delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2025) for retractable support equipment under an existing IDC; a $49.104 thousand delivery order (August 2025) for retractable support equipment; a $122,000 firm fixed-price purchase order (July 2024) for 2,000 bumper units under a total small business set-aside; and a $74.130 thousand delivery order (June 2022) for support and retractable equipment. These awards are representative of Marengo's typical order size range, which spans from sub-$500 tactical orders to $122,000 volume buys.

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 230 of 231 awards (100% of potential value at $16 million), with only a single $13 thousand award to the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration appearing in the recent footprint. This DLA concentration reflects the vendor's role as a embedded supplier within a single, high-volume logistics customer's material handling procurement ecosystem.

The vendor holds active seats on five named DLA IDCs with task-order volume: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L320D5001 carries 21 task orders worth $880 thousand combined; SPE7L322D62AU carries 12 task orders worth $132 thousand; SPE7L320D60AA carries 8 task orders worth $71 thousand; SPE7L321D60XP carries 8 task orders worth $23 thousand; and SPE7L322D62GK carries 8 task orders worth $49 thousand. The vendor also holds approximately twenty additional named single-award IDC vehicles with DLA, each carrying their own task-order pipeline. All work is performed at Cardington, Ohio, with deliveries to DLA depots across Continental United States (CONUS) and Overseas Continental United States (OCONUS) locations.

Activity has declined materially year over year—fifty-five awards in 2022 falling to twenty-six in 2025 and only four in 2026 year-to-date through March. This trajectory suggests either contract consolidation, customer reallocation, or maturation within the existing IDC portfolio, where fewer but higher-value orders are replacing transactional task-order volume. Of the $16 million in combined potential value, only $3.4 million (21 percent) has been obligated, indicating a substantial reserve of unexercised ceiling authority across the IDC portfolio. The vendor's categorization spans multiple NAICS codes—All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing (51 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (46 awards), Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing (44 awards), and Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (36 awards)—reflecting the diverse component nature of its DLA supply role.

The vendor operates as a 100-percent prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Its federal presence began in 2012 and has accumulated over one hundred historical prime awards totaling approximately $1.5 million in cumulative contract value prior to the indexed timeframe, establishing continuity within DLA's supplier base. Marengo Fabricated Steel's business model centers on predictable, recurring supply of specialized but standardized material handling components under long-term IDC vehicles—a stable but customer-concentration-dependent positioning typical of niche component manufacturers serving single dominant buyers within federal supply chain operations.
