Parker Machine And Engineering Inc.

Parker Machine And Engineering Inc., a Woodhaven, Michigan-based small business manufacturer established in 2001, supplies precision mechanical components and assemblies to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 454 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing entirely under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations with no subcontract footprint.

Parker's customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 346 of 454 awards (92% of award count) and $3.9 million of the $4.7 million combined potential value (83% of dollars), with the remaining customer base split among DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, DLA Aviation, the Department of the Army, and smaller DLA subdivisions. This concentration reflects Parker's role as a repetitive supplier of small-dollar components through simplified acquisition procedures rather than large integrations; the median order size is under $10,000.

Parker's capability portfolio centers on manufacturing defense-grade mechanical parts for military ground vehicles, vessels, and aircraft support operations. Representative work includes a $28,140 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for vehicular door handles (awarded January 25, 2025), a $21,010 firm fixed-price order for clevis rod end components (October 15, 2025), and a $19,600 Total Small Business purchase order for eye brackets for Naval Supply operations (December 5, 2025). The company also manufactures flexible end fittings, brake lever assemblies, camshafts, semitrailer legs, connecting links, pistons, valves, bearings, and other power transmission and vehicular steering components. Work is performed at Parker's facility in Woodhaven, with secondary performance locations in Brownstown Township, Michigan. The company holds two active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: a $350,000 Total Small Business IDC awarded December 22, 2025, for motor vehicle transmission shafts running through December 22, 2026, and a $250,000 expired IDC for flexible end fittings that concluded January 20, 2023.

Activity has declined from a peak of 24 awards in 2022 to 7 through March 2026 (the most recent award on March 11, 2026, was an $8,207 DLA Land and Maritime remote control lever order). The recompete cliff shows 6 awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $60,000. Awards ship to DLA depots both continental and overseas. Parker's NAICS profile reflects mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (74 awards), military armored vehicle and tank component manufacturing (42 awards), and hardware manufacturing (24 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in miscellaneous power transmission equipment (90 awards) and vehicular brake, steering, and drivetrain components (63 awards). The company operates entirely as a prime; the source carries no subcontract awards. Approximately 30% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations; the remainder are full-and-open competitive.
