Oil States Industries, Inc.

Oil States Industries, Inc., Special Products Division, headquartered in Arlington, Texas, manufactures specialized marine engineering components and equipment for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (97% of awards) competing predominantly in full and open competition with no set-aside designations.

Oil States is a for-profit corporation supplying resilient weapon system mounts, flexible couplings, seal assemblies, filter elements, piping components, and fasteners to naval and defense logistics operations. The vendor holds no federal contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, or government-wide BPAs) but operates under agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency. A single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded April 2025, $250 thousand ceiling, completion April 2026) covers seal assemblies with an estimated four orders per year. Representative prime work includes a $1.975 million flexible connections contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (September 2025), a $1.448 million expansion joint contract with NAVSUP (August 2025), a $1.398 million flexible coupling contract with NAVSUP (June 2024), a $663.8 thousand flexible coupling contract with NAVSUP (July 2025), a $741.3 thousand flexible connections purchase order with DLA Land and Maritime (January 2026), and a $550.3 thousand filter assembly contract with NAVSUP (December 2025).

Naval Supply Systems Command dominates customer concentration, accounting for 794 awards (38% of total awards) worth $58.1 million combined potential value. DLA Aviation ranks second with 556 awards totaling $17.4 million; DLA Land and Maritime follows with 211 awards worth $8.7 million. The top three customers account for roughly 90% of award volume and 88% of combined potential value. This customer concentration reflects Oil States' strategic positioning as a trusted supplier of specialized naval equipment and components supporting submarine, surface ship, and logistics operations across the Navy and defense supply chains.

Top parent vehicles are agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts: IDC SPM4A608D0271 with 32 task orders ($2.1 million combined potential value), IDC SPM4A611D0048 with 18 task orders ($328 thousand), and IDC SPM44003D1000 with 14 task orders ($559 thousand). These vehicles support routine procurement of recurring components rather than concentrated platforms.

Activity has remained steady, averaging 115 awards annually over the past five years, with 2022 peaking at 115 awards and 2025 showing 98 awards. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months spans 37 awards worth $14.4 million combined potential value, concentrated in NAVSUP and DLA contracts for flexible couplings, seal assemblies, filter elements, and piping components reaching completion between mid-2026 and mid-2027.

Oil States operates as a subcontractor to major defense shipbuilders, primarily Electric Boat Corporation on submarine construction programs (SSN 804, SSBN 826, SSN 814, SSN 815) and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on amphibious and ship programs (LHA 9, LHA 8), supplying long-lead-time materials, flexible couplings, fasteners, and mounting hardware. A single non-defense sub-award from February 2025 involved centrifuge fixture frame assemblies for NASA Johnson Space Center engineering directorates.

Oil States' capability portfolio aligns tightly with NAICS codes for metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (299 awards), ordnance accessories manufacturing (249 awards), and general machinery manufacturing, with PSC concentrations in weapon system hardware (712 awards), hose and pipe fittings (592 awards), and sealing materials (186 awards). The vendor competes full-and-open across all categories with no small business set-asides, reflecting its scale as an established industrial manufacturer rather than a growth-stage or disadvantaged business.
