Par Defense Industries, LLC

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

Par Defense Industries operates almost exclusively within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem, with 99 percent of its 7,396 recent prime awards concentrated across DLA's Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. The company's capability portfolio centers on cable assemblies, electrical connectors, power distribution equipment, aircraft components, industrial valves, and specialized electronic components—delivered through a high-volume, simplified-acquisition model. Recent representative awards include a $1.025 million definitive contract with DLA Land and Maritime (May 2026) for mast assemblies for the Man Transportable Robotics System Increment II; a $628.6 thousand purchase order from DLA Aviation (May 2026) for flow rate indicator meters under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $332.9 thousand order from DLA Aviation (June 2026) for cylinder assemblies; a $246.9 thousand delivery order from DLA Aviation (May 2026) for cable assembly power components; and a $193.6 thousand purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 2026) for gate valves under Total Small Business set-aside.

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored in two divisions. DLA Aviation accounts for 3,200 awards worth $119.4 million in combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime drives 3,625 awards valued at $85.9 million. Together these two divisions represent 99 percent of Par Defense Industries' award footprint by count and 99 percent by combined potential value. The remaining customer base is negligible: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (226 awards, $5.7 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (213 awards, $599 thousand), and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (50 awards, $1.6 million) round out the top five. This concentration creates both runway and vulnerability—DLA is Par Defense Industries' sole meaningful buyer, and recompetes within the DLA supply chain are the primary growth and retention lever.

Par Defense Industries holds nine active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA, each carrying a $350,000 ceiling: five with DLA Land and Maritime covering helical compression springs, filter elements, electrical contacts, power supplies, and electrical connector plugs, and four with DLA Aviation covering cable assemblies and cable assembly power components. These IDIQs (NSN-keyed single-source indefinite-delivery vehicles, not government-wide acquisition contracts or BPAs) enable streamlined procurement and bypass full-and-open competition under Total Small Business set-asides. Task orders issued against these parent vehicles are small—typically ranging from $1,000 to $150,000—and reflect the simplified-acquisition, commercial-item posture of the work.

Award activity shows growth followed by contraction. Par Defense Industries received 881 awards in 2022, declining to 783 in 2023 before rising to 860 in 2024 and peaking at 1,235 in 2025. In 2026, the pace moderated to 496 awards through mid-July. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $217.2 million, with $134 million obligated (62 percent). Within the next twenty-four months, 254 awards valued at $11.6 million will reach ultimate completion, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio but concentrated in the DLA supply-chain categories where Par Defense Industries competes.

The company's category concentration reflects its DLA focus: the top five NAICS codes by award count are Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (1,050 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (813 awards), Electronic Connector Manufacturing (728 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (486 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (414 awards). By product service code, Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies dominate (919 awards), followed by Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (885 awards) and Connectors, Electrical (881 awards). Place of performance is concentrated in Warminster, Pennsylvania, with subordinate performance locations including Kingston, Massachusetts and Tucson, Arizona for certain delivery orders.

Par Defense Industries operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor—99.9 percent of its awards are primes, with a negligible sub footprint of one sub-award recorded in the source data (a February 2026 grip assembly sub to an unnamed prime). The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on DLA simplified acquisitions and purchase orders, with secondary participation in full-and-open procurements where commercial items and DLA depots support automated ordering and expedited delivery models.
