Platt Mounts - Usa, Inc.

Platt Mounts - Usa, Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Orion Charter Township, Michigan, supplies precision-engineered weapon mounting systems and associated hardware (swing mounts, lock pins, mounting plates, fasteners) to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 100% of its recent federal awards, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated in DLA's sustainment operations. The top five customers account for 94% of awards by count and 99% of combined potential value, with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime commanding 81 awards worth $18.3 million in combined potential value and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation placing 27 awards totaling $84 thousand. Army Materiel Command's Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (8 awards, $2.3 million), the United States Marine Corps (5 awards, $1.7 million), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (21 awards, $51 thousand) round out the active set. The revenue concentration is extreme — Land and Maritime alone represents roughly 78% of the $23.5 million combined potential value across all awards.

Platt Mounts holds three named indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. Two single-award IDCs (SPE7L323D60BS, ceiling $250,000 through October 2023; SPE7L123D61UR, ceiling $250,000 through July 2024) have generated multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders for swing mount assemblies and components. A third IDC (SPM7LX11D0010) places task orders in smaller dollar bands. Representative prime work includes a $747,820 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in February 2025 for swing mount assemblies (NSN 1005661477964); a $243,478 swing mount order from DLA Land and Maritime in September 2023; a $228,804 delivery order against an IDC in June 2023; and a $195,841 swing mount purchase order in August 2023. The company also fills recurring small orders (typically under $10,000 each) for fasteners, hardware, and specialized components across DLA Aviation and Troop Support.

Award activity declined materially in the past two years — 14 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and only 5 in 2025 — signaling possible pipeline contraction or consolidation in ordering patterns. The source data spans from October 2006 to January 2026, with $8.2 million in dollars obligated against the $23.5 million combined potential value (35% obligation rate). Platt Mounts has no subcontract footprint in the source material and operates exclusively as a prime contractor. Performance location is consistently Lake Orion, Michigan, where the company manufactures swing mounts and associated components. The top product categories by award count reflect this focus: Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (43 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (30 awards), and Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (28 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Guns Through 30mm (68 awards) and Hardware Commercial (18 awards).

W&E Platt specializes in the design, manufacture, installation and ILS of weapon mounts for military vehicles and naval vessels.
