Nor RAL Inc.

Nor-Ral Inc. Nor-Ral, Inc. Division, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Canton, Georgia, operates as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) supplying composite structures and precision-machined aerospace components to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal defense customers. The company is a Subchapter S corporation registered in SAM.gov since 2002 with woman-owned small business and small business certifications; it competes under both small business set-asides (roughly 30% of awards) and full-and-open procurements, with particular strength in Total Small Business designations on DLA Aviation awards.

Nor-Ral's customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 398 of 457 prime awards and $11.7 million of $12.7 million in combined potential value across the top two customers — a 92-percent concentration on a single customer and office. The broader Defense Logistics Agency (including Land and Maritime) adds another 30 awards and $966 thousand. The remaining customer agencies—the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command, the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center, and the Army's PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors—together account for fewer than 30 awards and represent less than 1% of the portfolio by dollar value. This concentration reflects Nor-Ral's role as a dedicated supplier to DLA Aviation's aircraft logistics mission rather than a diversified defense contractor.

Nor-Ral manufactures aircraft structural components, fairings, flooring, liferaft liners, gaskets, panels, and first-article test components. Recent representative work includes a $287,884 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation for aircraft fairings (awarded September 8, 2025, completion July 5, 2028), a $150,040 purchase order for aircraft fairings (February 28, 2025, completion April 26, 2027), a $81,852 purchase order for litter bag assemblies (April 15, 2025, completion November 12, 2025), and a $75,433 government first-article test purchase order under a Total Small Business set-aside (December 16, 2022, completion April 24, 2024). The company also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation (awarded July 18, 2025, ceiling $250,000, running through July 17, 2030) specifically for liferaft liners and related composite aerospace parts; one delivery order under this IDC was issued August 22, 2025, for $28,800. Work is performed entirely at Nor-Ral's Canton facility on firm fixed-price terms.

Primary NAICS coding centers on 337515 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) at 375 awards, with secondary exposure to Aircraft Manufacturing and ordnance-related categories. PSC coding mirrors this: 388 awards fall under Airframe Structural Components, 25 under Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components.

Nor-Ral subcontracts to major aerospace primes on military aircraft development and sustainment programs. Named prime contractors include Lockheed Martin (multiple C-130J and F-35A supply-chain awards for covers, fairings, liners, brackets, and antenna assemblies), Derco Aerospace (aircraft spares manufacturing), Defense Systems and Solutions (Apache Helicopters and PAC-3 Missile materials), J.F. Taylor Inc. (radome and fairing assemblies), Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (carbon/epoxy sheet for V-22 programs), Tyonek Worldwide Services (UH-60 CIRCM kit support), and Textron Systems (LCAC long-lead materials). Subcontract work spans fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms and runs through 2025.

Activity trajectory shows growth through 2024, with 37 awards that year, then a decline to 26 in 2025 and only 5 recorded through March 2026. The recompete cliff is modest: 22 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next 24 months carry only $1 million in combined potential value. The portfolio's dollar-value figures are distorted by an obligated-dollars figure of $18.3 million against $14.1 million in potential value (130% ratio), reflecting either downward definitizations on several delivery orders or invoicing beyond original ceiling estimates on small fixed-price purchases—a common pattern for small DLA Aviation orders.

Five parent vehicles structure Nor-Ral's prime work. The two largest are DLA indefinite delivery contracts: SP040003D4115 (28 task orders, $966 thousand combined potential value) and SPM40003D4115 (26 task orders, $147 thousand). The Air Force vehicle FA862520D3000 carries 12 task orders without dollar figures in the source. Three smaller vehicles—SPE4A720D5215, SPM47504D2005, and others—each account for single-digit task orders.
