Oran Safety Glass Inc.

Oran Safety Glass Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer based in Emporia, Virginia, supplies transparent armor, vehicular armor frames, and protective glass components to the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides, competing entirely within the small business reserve across its federal footprint. The company is a subsidiary of Oran-Palmach Tzuba Agricultural Cooperative Community LTD, an international for-profit manufacturer.

Oran Safety Glass operates as a specialized defense supplier focused on force-protection materials for military vehicles. Its core capabilities center on manufacturing transparent armor (National Stock Numbers 2541-01-561-2540, 2541-01-564-2385, 2541-01-560-1159, and related NSNs), vehicular armor frames, and supplemental armor components classified under NAICS 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and PSC 25 (Weapons Systems Specific Vehicular Accessories). Recent prime awards include a $268.4 million transparent armor delivery order placed January 8, 2026, a $601.2 million vehicular armor frame purchase order awarded October 9, 2025, a $503.4 million transparent armor order from October 2, 2025, and a $386.6 million transparent armor delivery order from November 20, 2025. In August 2025, Oran Safety Glass was awarded a $16.6 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract running through August 2028 for transparent armor procurement.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with DLA Land and Maritime, which accounts for 527 of 1,086 total awards (49% of the vendor's prime and sub footprint) with $350.2 million combined potential value across the full portfolio. The remaining customer exposure is minimal: the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal holds 16 awards valued at $15.5 million combined, and the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command accounts for 8 awards worth $2.4 million. This degree of customer concentration reflects Oran Safety Glass's specialized position as a primary DLA supplier for transparent armor and related vehicular protection components.

Activity has grown substantially but pulled back sharply. The vendor recorded 3 awards in 2022, then 359 in 2023 (driven by high-volume small purchase orders from DLA), 190 in 2024, 45 in 2025, and 13 in the first quarter of 2026. The spike in 2023 reflects DLA's shift to issuing numerous individual purchase orders and delivery calls against Oran Safety Glass's indefinite delivery vehicles rather than consolidated contracts. Combined obligated dollars total $193.8 million across $369.1 million in combined potential value. The source identifies only one award completing in the next twenty-four months — a $904 thousand purchase order — indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure; however, the $16.6 million multiple-award IDC awarded in August 2025 anchors a three-year vehicle through 2028.

As a subcontractor, Oran Safety Glass supplies safety glass and fabricated armor components to Oshkosh Defense LLC on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program, with sub-awards spanning modifications, program extensions, total package fielding support, and integrated product support activities dating from 2024 through early 2025. The source documents more than fifty subcontract actions under Oshkosh, reflecting ongoing supply of safety glass and frame components supporting JLTV production and sustainment.

The vendor's prime footprint splits 51% prime awards (557) versus 49% sub awards (529), a rare balance in the federal contractor base. Top parent vehicles are five DLA indefinite delivery contracts (SPE7MX17D0077 with 45 task orders valued at $7.5 million; SPM7LX14D0019 with 36 task orders at $4.7 million; SPM7LX13D0052 with 20 task orders at $3.2 million; SPE7LX15D0225 with 12 task orders at $2.4 million; and SPE7LX16D0142 with 8 task orders at $983 thousand), all of which enable DLA to place rapid-turnaround purchase orders and delivery calls for protective glass and armor components supporting military vehicle programs.

Oran Safety Glass competes exclusively within the Total Small Business set-aside category. Award data spans January 2008 through March 2026, with the bulk of recent activity driven by DLA's vehicle-based procurement model. The company's commodity posture — transparent and protective armor for standard military platforms — ensures sustained demand across the DoD supply chain as long as those platforms remain in service.
