MTC Engineering, LLC

MTC Engineering, LLC, a veteran-owned, minority-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Westerville, Ohio, supplies precision-engineered mechanical components and assemblies to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on open-market and Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders and delivery orders rather than on government-wide vehicles.

MTC Engineering operates as a pure manufacturer of specialized mechanical parts—brackets, mountings, gaskets, sealing devices, aircraft ground support equipment, and related assemblies—serving defense logistics operations. Recent representative work includes a $107,378.50 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA's Construction and Equipment division (July 2025) for 38 aircraft fuse stands; a $82,704 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 2025) for 16 torpedo chocks; a $75,342 Total Small Business set-aside order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 2025) for 58 strut assembly deflector components; and a $59,496 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (June 2025) for 806 spacer plate metal stampings. The company holds a portfolio of seven single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, valued at $250,000 to $350,000 each across Land and Maritime, Aviation, and Construction and Equipment divisions, covering gaskets, seal assemblies, angle brackets, tow hook brackets, and electrical mounting bases, typically with one-year terms and estimated ordering frequencies of three to nine delivery orders annually.

Customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. DLA Land and Maritime dominates both award count and dollars: 216 awards (46% of the portfolio) worth $4.5 million in combined potential value (57% of the total). DLA Aviation accounts for 175 awards (38% of the portfolio) and $1.9 million (24% of combined potential value). DLA Construction and Equipment adds 69 awards and $1.2 million. Together, the three DLA divisions account for 460 of 466 total awards (99% of the portfolio) and $7.7 million of $7.9 million in combined potential value. All other customers—the Navy Supply Systems Command, Army Materiel Command, and Defense Logistics Agency Subsistence—contribute only six awards worth $56 thousand. The company has no documented subcontracting relationships and operates exclusively as a prime contractor.

MTC Engineering's award footprint reflects narrow technical specialization. Top NAICS codes are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (79 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (78 awards), and Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing (38 awards). Top Product Service Codes track similarly: Hardware, Commercial (72 awards); Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered (41 awards); and Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (36 awards). Award values are predominantly small to mid-range: the source lists individual purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from under $500 to over $117,000, with an average that skews toward the lower end of that spectrum given the high count of routine component procurements.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The source data show minimal activity through 2023 (three total awards), then a steep ramp: 113 awards in 2024, 234 in 2025, and 60 so far in 2026 (through mid-October). Combined potential value sits at $7.9 million, with $4.3 million obligated (55% realization rate). This growth trajectory reflects DLA's sustained demand for small-business-set-aside mechanical component manufacturing, but the concentration in purchase orders and delivery orders against recurring IDCs means the recompete cliff is modest: only ten awards complete within the next 24 months, carrying a combined potential value of $344 thousand. The company's footprint is characterized by high transaction volume at low-to-moderate order values rather than exposure to large, infrequent contracts.
