Navpar Inc.

Navpar Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Harrison, Ohio, manufactures specialized mechanical and industrial hardware components for defense logistics, competing as a prime contractor almost exclusively in full-and-open procurements with occasional Total Small Business set-asides. The company is a small business but does not hold formal SBA certifications; it competes on capability and pricing rather than set-aside-reserved vehicles.

Navpar's customer base is highly concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. Across 1,244 recent prime awards, DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 700 awards ($13.5 million combined potential value), DLA Aviation for 263 awards ($6.2 million), Naval Supply Systems Command for 67 awards ($2.2 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 58 awards ($1.1 million). These five customers represent 93% of award count and 95% of combined potential value. The portfolio reflects DLA's dominant role in Navpar's business: routine purchase orders and delivery orders for replacement mechanical parts—bearings, shafts, couplings, wire rope assemblies, encoder countermeasures, bushings, fasteners, and related industrial hardware—that sustain military equipment maintenance and supply chain operations across domestic and overseas depots.

Navpar holds four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA divisions, each with $250,000 ceilings. The most mature IDC, awarded April 29, 2024, runs through April 28, 2029 (wire rope assemblies, set-aside for small business). A second IDC for roller chains (Land and Maritime, $250,000 ceiling, April 2025–April 2026, total small business set-aside) issued at least two task orders: $7,851.72 (October 2025) and $6,343.48 (June 2025). A third IDC effective December 2, 2024–December 2, 2025, for cylinder assemblies ($250,000 ceiling, no set-aside), generated a $28,432 delivery order placed December 5, 2024. A fourth IDC awarded September 29, 2025, for brake shoe components ($250,000 ceiling, no set-aside, expires September 29, 2026) reflects Navpar's ongoing pipeline. These IDCs are the backbone of recurring revenue: task orders typically range $2,000 to $33,000 with 76–330 day delivery windows to DLA Distribution facilities.

Navpar's recent activity shows growth: awards increased from 67 in 2022 to 123 in 2025 (the most recent full year), with 53 awards recorded through mid-July 2026. Combined potential value across all 1,244 awards is $29.6 million, with $25.5 million (86%) obligated. The recompete cliff exposes $823 thousand in combined potential value across 25 awards scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term churn typical of Navpar's high-volume, low-dollar-per-order model.

Navpar's product portfolio concentrates in mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (169 awards), aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (103 awards), and industrial hardware—organized by PSC as Aircraft Landing Equipment (184 awards), Marine Hardware and Hull Items (112 awards), and Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain (88 awards). Work is performed entirely at Navpar's Harrison facility. The company does not subcontract on federal work; it operates as an original equipment manufacturer and repair-parts supplier for DLA's mechanical and industrial hardware pipeline. Navpar competes in full-and-open DLA procurements and holds no position on government-wide acquisition contracts, agency IDIQs, or BPAs beyond its four single-award DLA indefinite delivery vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint is DLA-centric, routine, and transactional—hundreds of small orders per year supporting military readiness through the steady supply of replacement mechanical components rather than through integration, engineering, or teaming.
