Polytech Defense Spares LLC

Polytech Defense Spares LLC manufactures specialized mechanical components and spare parts for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, competing predominantly in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations, though two recent single-award IDCs carry total small business set-aside status. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, with a small business designation and no other SBA certifications identified in the source.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on precision-engineered mechanical assemblies: gears (spur, helical, bevel, internal, and helical sectors), shafts (straight, spur gearshaft, pinion), bearings and bushings, fasteners (bolts, pins, screws, nuts, rivets), power transmission components (sprockets, pulleys, clutches, couplings), hydraulic and pneumatic parts (pistons, cylinders, actuators, valves, seats), and ordnance-related components (synchro transmitters, breechblock parts, firing pins, launch tubes). Representative awards from the recent footprint include a $695.8 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on February 17, 2026, for 73 units of synchro transmitter components; a $345.2 million order for 37 synchro transmitters on March 24, 2026; a $317.2 million total small business set-aside purchase order for 9,000 spring holders on February 12, 2026; and a $119.1 million total small business set-aside order for bevel gears on March 9, 2026. The vendor also holds two single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $350,000 with total small business set-aside designations and running through March 2027. Most orders, however, run in the thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source. The Defense Logistics Agency's four operational divisions account for 98 percent of recent awards by count: DLA Land and Maritime leads with 5,216 awards valued at $66.3 million combined potential value, DLA Aviation follows with 1,762 awards totaling $16.1 million, DLA Troop Support Hardware carries 943 awards for $3.5 million, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds 248 awards for $6.7 million. The Department of the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command represents the only material non-DLA customer with 60 awards totaling $390 thousand. Polytech operates entirely as a prime contractor; the source records zero sub-awards.

Activity has grown substantially in 2025 with 625 awards awarded that year, up from 466 in 2022 and 451 in 2023, though 2024 saw a dip to 372. Year-to-date 2026 shows 142 awards as of April 15. Combined potential value across the entire footprint reaches $1.21 billion, though only $86.3 million (7 percent) has been obligated to date, reflecting the characteristic structure of DLA purchase orders where ceiling values often far exceed near-term spend. The source does not identify any parent IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs with multiple task orders, or agency-wide vehicles; the named vehicles (BPA GS06FB1736, various IDCs) each carry fewer than 60 task orders and appear to be narrow-purpose arrangements.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: 130 awards with ultimate completion dates inside that window carry combined potential value of only $4.2 million, a fraction of the overall footprint. The vendor's top NAICS categories—Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (1,654 awards), Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (945 awards), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (913 awards)—and top Product Service Codes (Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets at 1,234 awards, and Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment at 718 awards) define a tightly focused manufacturing posture around high-precision mechanical components for military platforms and systems. Polytech is a transaction-driven component supplier with virtually no geographic, customer, or product diversification outside DLA's sprawling spare-parts logistics network.
