Oran Safety Glass Inc.

Oran Safety Glass Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer based in Emporia, Virginia, manufactures transparent and vehicular armor components for military defense applications, competing as a prime contractor (52% of awards) and subcontractor (48%) exclusively within the small business reserve under Total Small Business set-asides. The company is a child entity of Oran-Palmach Tzuba Agricultural Cooperative Community LTD, an Israeli parent organization.

Oran Safety Glass operates almost entirely within the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime supply chain. The DLA accounts for 538 of the company's 1,097 total awards spanning prime and sub work, representing $351 million in combined potential value — 95% of the company's $369.9 million total award footprint. The U.S. Marine Corps appears as a second major customer by award count (527 awards), though dollar magnitudes are not differentiated in the portfolio summary; remaining customers (Army Materiel Command contracting offices at Detroit Arsenal and TACOM, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Army Research Development and Engineering Command) collectively contribute $18.8 million and represent less than 5% of dollar value. This extreme concentration reflects Oran Safety Glass's specialized role as a single-source or near-sole supplier of military vehicle protective glass and armor frames to DLA distribution networks.

The company's capability portfolio is narrow and concrete: transparent armor (NSN codes 2541-01-561-2540, 2541-01-564-2385, 2541-01-560-1159, and related), vehicular armor frames (NSN 2541016695750), and supplemental armor components for armored vehicles. Recent prime activity includes a $16.607 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded by DLA Land and Maritime on August 13, 2025 (completion August 12, 2028), under which task orders for transparent armor have been issued on recurring basis. Representative recent orders include a $904.022 million purchase order for supplemental armor (NSN 2541-01-670-6604) awarded February 26, 2026, a $268.360 million purchase order for transparent armor (NSN 2541016706556) awarded January 8, 2026, and a $198.053 million purchase order for transparent armor (NSN 2541016906702) awarded May 27, 2026. All work is performed at the Emporia facility under firm fixed price terms and Total Small Business set-aside authority.

The vendor operates across five active parent indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, issuing task orders at irregular frequency. The top vehicle, IDC SPE7MX17D0077, carries 45 task orders valued at $7.5 million combined potential; SPM7LX14D0019 holds 36 task orders at $4.7 million; SPM7LX13D0052 holds 20 task orders at $3.2 million. This multi-vehicle posture provides supply-chain resilience but indicates that Oran Safety Glass operates as a vendor of record across multiple DLA armor procurement channels rather than as a sole supplier on a single vehicle.

In its subcontractor role, Oran Safety Glass supplies transparent and fabricated armor components exclusively to Oshkosh Defense LLC on long-term Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) production and support contracts running back to at least January 2024. Sub-award descriptions reference safety glass and fabricated component provision for JLTV vehicle production, including product improvement, field support, and international foreign military sales (FMS) support for North Macedonia and Slovenia. This relationship anchors Oran Safety Glass into the JLTV supply base across both U.S. domestic production and allied international fielding.

Award activity has been volatile. The portfolio shows three awards in 2022, a spike to 359 awards in 2023 (likely reflecting a large DLA IDC award award burst or portfolio backfill), 190 awards in 2024, declining to 45 in 2025 and 24 through July 2026. This trajectory—from spike to contraction—suggests either portfolio consolidation by DLA or a shift in ordering patterns; the recompete cliff is minimal, with only three awards (combined potential value $290 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Oran Safety Glass's NAICS footprint is heavily weighted toward Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (745 awards, 68% of total), with secondary exposure in Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass (130 awards) and Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (105 awards). Weapon Systems Specific Vehicular Accessories (PSC 25) represent 430 awards (39% of total), aligning with the transparent armor and armor frame mission.
