Mckinnon Logistics LLC

Mckinnon Logistics LLC, a minority-owned, Black American-owned limited liability company based in Crete, Illinois, supplies specialized hardware components and mechanical assemblies to the Department of Defense exclusively as a prime contractor through the Defense Logistics Agency, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements with no subcontract footprint.

The vendor operates as a pure hardware supplier within the DLA supply chain, delivering fasteners, seals, gaskets, bearings, bushings, insulators, electromechanical subassemblies, and precision mechanical parts—items with typical order values ranging from $600 to $28,000. Recent representative work includes a $28,000 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for ferrule tube components (awarded September 2024), a $19,500 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for filler-opening caps (January 2025), a $13,250.25 Total Small Business set-aside order for worm shaft components (December 2025), and multiple single and double-digit-thousand-dollar purchase orders for standard fastening hardware, seals, and assemblies across both DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 100% of the vendor's 103 awards spanning the past three years. DLA Land and Maritime leads by combined potential value at $632,000 across 40 awards, while DLA Aviation carries $352,000 across 60 awards; DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents $1,000 across 3 awards. The vendor's award portfolio is concentrated in bolt-nut-screw-rivet-washer manufacturing (41 awards), gasket-packing-sealing device manufacturing (17 awards), and hardware manufacturing (8 awards), with top PSC codes for nuts-and-washers (25 awards) and packing-and-gasket materials (20 awards).

Mckinnon Logistics holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA: a $250,000 single-award IDC for gaskets (NSN 4610123385, awarded July 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, base period ending July 2026) with four delivery orders authorized annually; a $250,000 single-award IDC for machine keys (NSN 4610119035, awarded February 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, one-year base period ending January 2026) with three delivery orders issued to date; and a $250,000 single-award IDC for machine screws (NSN 4610113191, awarded August 2024, Total Small Business set-aside, one-year period ending August 2025, now expired). The vendor also operates under at least one DLA parent vehicle carrying task-order activity.

Activity has grown sharply. The vendor secured 2 awards in 2023, 33 in 2024, 52 in 2025, and 16 in early 2026, indicating sustained quarterly-order velocity from DLA across Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. Of the 103 total awards, 103 are prime contracts and 0 are subcontracts; the vendor does not subcontract and holds no secondary roles on other defense primes. Combined potential value across all awards is $985,000, with $260,000 (26%) obligated to date—a profile consistent with a high-volume, low-dollar-per-order supplier executing small purchase orders and delivery orders under standing indefinite-delivery vehicles. Place of performance is Crete, Illinois for all named awards, with performance also referenced in Chicago, Illinois on a subset of delivery orders.
