Par Defense Industries, LLC

Par Defense Industries, LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Warminster, Pennsylvania, supplies electrical, electronic, and mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements across the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is Subcontinent Asian American-owned, self-certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business, and holds DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise status.

Par Defense Industries operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor, with 7,148 prime awards (100% of its footprint) spanning cable assemblies, connectors, electrical contacts, valves, pumps, motors, circuit card assemblies, and mechanical components used in aircraft, naval, and ground equipment maintenance. Representative work includes a $304,078.95 purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment in April 2026 for 259 centrifugal fans under a Total Small Business set-aside, a $438,270.75 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in January 2026 for electromagnet relays under a Total Small Business set-aside, a $291,330 delivery order from DLA Aviation in February 2026 for urine collection pouches under a Total Small Business set-aside, and a $246,975 delivery order from DLA Aviation in March 2026 for cable assembly power components. Individual purchase orders and delivery orders frequently carry values between $1,000 and $150,000.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA dominates 99% of awards by count: DLA Aviation holds 3,084 awards worth $113.8 million in combined potential value, and DLA Land and Maritime holds 3,518 awards worth $81.3 million combined potential value. These two DLA divisions account for approximately 97% of all dollars. DLA Troop Support divisions, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Army account for the remainder. Par Defense Industries has no material exposure to civilian agencies or non-defense customers.

Par Defense Industries holds nine active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, each carrying a $350,000 ceiling: five IDIQs with DLA Land and Maritime (helical compression springs, filter elements, electrical contacts, power supplies, and electrical connector plugs) and four with DLA Aviation (cable assemblies and cable assembly power components). These vehicles enable streamlined procurement without full-and-open competition and carry Total Small Business set-aside designations where applicable. The company also performs against numerous non-IDC purchase orders and delivery orders issued directly by DLA's various supply divisions.

Activity has grown substantially: 881 awards in 2022, declining slightly to 783 in 2023, then rising to 860 in 2024 and 1,228 in 2025, with 262 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Over seven years, Par Defense Industries has accumulated $205.1 million in combined potential value across 7,155 awards, with $127.8 million obligated (62% of potential). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is 246 awards carrying $11.4 million in combined potential value.

Par Defense Industries competes across a concentrated set of NAICS codes centered on electronic and mechanical component manufacturing: Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (1,021 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (795 awards), Electronic Connector Manufacturing (711 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (466 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (404 awards). Product Service Code distribution mirrors this, with Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (883 awards), Connectors, Electrical (864 awards), and Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (862 awards) as the top three. The vendor maintains minimal sub-award activity, with only seven sub-awards noted, indicating a predominantly prime-focused strategy.
