Minor Rubber Co Inc.

Minor Rubber Co Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of molded rubber parts and nonmetallic components based in Bloomfield, New Jersey, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on defense supply orders, delivering specialized rubber components including seals, gaskets, grommets, bellows, O-rings, and related nonmetallic parts to the Department of Defense on a full-and-open basis — 638 federal awards totaling seven million dollars in combined potential value across a five-year snapshot, with no subcontract footprint.

Minor Rubber Co competes predominantly unrestricted, though the vendor holds a handful of Total Small Business set-aside single-award IDVs with DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support. The company is classified as a small business and manufactures under primary NAICS codes 326160 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing) and 332510 (Fastening Device Manufacturing), reflecting the commodity focus of its federal work. Across 638 awards spanning 2022 through April 2026, the vendor has delivered purchase orders and delivery orders worth between hundreds of dollars and roughly 85 thousand dollars per award, with the largest recent delivery order reaching 84,906.90 dollars for bellows protection items under a DLA Aviation indefinite-delivery contract.

Customer concentration is tightly focused on Defense Logistics Agency subdivisions. The top five customers account for 82 percent of recent awards by count and 85 percent by potential value. DLA Aviation leads across both dimensions — 145 awards and three million one hundred thousand dollars combined potential value — followed by DLA Land and Maritime (117 awards, one million four hundred thousand dollars), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (99 awards, $768 thousand), Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (50 awards, $450 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (114 awards, $267 thousand). This customer concentration reflects the vendor's role as a standing supplier of maintenance and repair components for military logistics networks across aviation, maritime, and land systems.

Minor Rubber Co holds a portfolio of single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA divisions. The most recent IDV, awarded March 26, 2026, carries a $350 thousand ceiling with DLA Aviation extending through March 2031. Prior IDVs include a $250 thousand DLA Land and Maritime contract for plain seals awarded November 2025 (one-year term), a $250 thousand DLA Land and Maritime gasket contract awarded November 2023 (one-year term), a $250 thousand Total Small Business set-aside DLA Aviation seal assembly contract awarded August 2022 through July 2027 with four delivery orders issued to date ranging from twenty thousand dollars to twenty-three thousand five hundred dollars, and a $250 thousand Total Small Business set-aside DLA Aviation bellows protection contract awarded September 2021 (one-year term, single delivery order). Beyond IDVs, the vendor operates transactionally under five additional DLA and Army indefinite-delivery vehicles (SPE4A615D0067, SPE4A615D5862, SPE4A620D5288, SPM4A609D5498, SPE4A722D5565) that collectively generated fifty-one task orders worth approximately four hundred fifty-nine thousand dollars combined potential value.

Activity has fluctuated modestly year-to-year — 27 awards in 2022, 23 in 2023, 38 in 2024, 25 in 2025, and nine through April 2026 — suggesting steady but uneven demand. Combined dollars obligated stand at four million six hundred thousand dollars, or 66 percent of potential value. The vendor's award scope spans 20 distinct federal agencies, but DLA and Army account for the vast majority; Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware represent secondary but recurring customer streams. Recent awards cluster around nonmetallic channels, bellows protection, seals, gaskets, grommets, O-rings, bumpers, and specialized rubber components in unit values typically under fifteen thousand dollars, with occasional larger delivery orders under existing IDVs reaching thirty thousand to eighty-five thousand dollars. Performance is uniformly conducted at the vendor's Bloomfield, New Jersey manufacturing facility, with firm fixed-price structures and 30- to 120-day delivery windows typical across the recent contract portfolio.

Minor Rubber Co occupies a specialized niche as a recurring small-business supplier of low-to-mid-value rubber commodity orders to military logistics networks. The vendor's federal footprint carries no evidence of teaming, subcontract engagement, or pursuit of parent government-wide vehicles (GWACs, schedules, or agency-wide IDIQs outside of single-award DLA indefinite-delivery contracts). This posture reflects a transactional, supply-chain-oriented business model aligned with DLA's depot stocking and military equipment maintenance needs rather than systems integration or prime contracting breadth.
