Peerless MFG Co

Peerless MFG Co, Peerless Mfg. CO. Division, manufactures specialized industrial equipment and components for the Defense Department and Coast Guard, operating as a prime contractor on 97% of its federal awards without set-aside restrictions. Based in Addison, Texas, the company is a division of CECO Environmental and competes full-and-open across defense and maritime supply categories.

The vendor's portfolio centers on electromagnet relays, moisture separators and traps, fluid filter elements, gaskets, heating elements, and air-conditioning components — niche industrial equipment that supports military equipment readiness and ship construction. Representative prime work includes a $1.492 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for moisture traps (awarded February 2025, ultimate completion November 2025); a $215 thousand purchase order for 132 electromagnet relays from DLA Land and Maritime (August 2023); a $188 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command for an engine room damper (May 2022); and a $174 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for moisture separators used on WMEC-class cutters (December 2022). The vendor also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime for electromagnet relays with a $250 thousand ceiling, under which five firm fixed-price delivery orders totaled approximately $250 thousand through April 2023. Across all awards, the source documents 348 total prime and sub transactions, with combined potential value of $34.8 million and $34.3 million obligated (99% of potential).

Customer concentration aligns heavily with defense logistics and maritime. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 146 prime awards ($7.8 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command for 32 awards ($15.8 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 56 awards ($1.4 million). Together, these three customers represent 81% of awards by count and 93% of combined potential value by dollars. The Navy's share is driven by large single awards for ship construction materials and components; DLA Land and Maritime's share reflects recurring small purchase orders for relay and separator spare parts distributed to continental and overseas military depots.

Top parent vehicles are single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA and Navy components. Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7M521D61BL has generated seven task orders totaling $125 thousand; SPE7M522D60RY, five task orders at $164 thousand; and Navy N6554012D0002, two task orders at $245 thousand. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or multiple-award IDIQs reflected in the source.

Activity has remained relatively stable but trending down. The vendor received 23 awards in 2022, declining to 10 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 (through January). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $40 thousand in potential value, indicating minimal recompete pressure near-term. The vendor's product-category footprint — relay and industrial control manufacturing (41 awards), gasket and sealing device manufacturing (39 awards), air-conditioning and heating equipment manufacturing (37 awards), and fabricated pipe and fittings manufacturing (36 awards) — reflects supply-chain concentration in platform support materials for military platforms rather than prime integration or systems work.

In its subcontractor role, Peerless MFG performs as a supplier to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on multiple DDG 51-class destroyer construction programs (recent awards January and July 2025, including LHA 9 design and construction support for moisture separator components). The sub footprint spans destroyer construction, frigate maintenance, and amphibious ship programs but represents only 3% of the vendor's award base by count.
