Precision Rings Incorporated

Precision Rings Incorporated, an Indianapolis-based small business manufacturer, supplies high-precision metal rings and seals to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on nearly all purchase orders and delivery orders (99% of 704 recent awards), competing predominantly in open and total small business set-asides rather than under restricted vehicle programs. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation and for-profit manufacturer registered in SAM since April 2002; it holds no SBA certifications beyond small business status.

Precision Rings manufactures piston rings, seal rings, turbine bearing rings, retaining rings, valve piston rings, and related precision metal components for military aircraft, ground vehicles, and shipboard equipment. Recent representative work spans defense logistics ordering: a $19,519.50 February 2026 piston ring delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime, a $23,751 September 2025 piston ring purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (117 units, competitive solicitation among nine approved sources), an $89,833.59 April 2025 piston ring order from DLA Land and Maritime under a total small business set-aside (783 units for DLA Distribution Cherry Point), a $53,430 June 2024 solenoid valve ring order from DLA Land and Maritime under total small business set-aside (456 units), and a $16,800 August 2023 piston ring order from Naval Sea Systems Command under total small business set-aside.

Customer concentration is extreme and centered on DLA components. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates with 325 awards and $3.4 million combined potential value; DLA Aviation follows with 134 awards and $2.8 million. These two components account for roughly 65% of all awards and 61% of combined potential value. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (84 awards, $778 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (44 awards, $655 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command represent secondary customers. Across 704 awards, Precision Rings has engaged thirteen federal agencies; five DLA components and their parent organization cover 89% of award count.

Precision Rings holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $250,000 (awarded April 2022, set aside for total small businesses) for metal seal rings. This IDC functions as an automated blanket purchase agreement; its ceiling remains active, and multiple task orders flow from it. Beyond this named vehicle, the source references five other parent IDCs by contract number (SPM54006D0030, SPM50003D0186, SPM7MC12D5032, SP050003D0186, SPM5A616D5093) supporting task order activity, but provides no vehicle ceiling amounts or additional detail.

Activity has accelerated modestly — sixteen awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, twenty-eight in 2024, and twenty-one in 2025 — with only four awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only two awards with completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $19 thousand. Precision Rings' entire recent portfolio carries combined potential value of $12.7 million, with $10.6 million obligated (84% execution rate), signaling steady but modest order flow.

Precision Rings subcontracts on high-value advanced propulsion work. Honeywell International engaged the company on multiple Total Integrated Engine Revitalization (TIGER) program hardware deliveries (July 2024, January 2024, April 2025, April 2026) for radial step power shaft seal rings. Aerojet Rocketdyne has awarded Precision Rings sub-work on RS-25 production restart for Space Launch System (January 2024, October 2024, February 2025), also for ring-positioning components. These aerospace-engine primes represent the only named subcontracting relationships in the source; together they signal exposure to high-reliability propulsion manufacturing adjacent to Precision Rings' core DLA supply chain role.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: the top NAICS codes are Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (115 awards), Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (96 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (80 awards). The top PSC categories track similarly — Packing and Gasket Materials (152 awards) and Gasoline Reciprocating Engines and Components (130 awards) — reflecting deep expertise in precision metal rings for engine and hydraulic systems. Precision Rings competes in open competition on DLA purchase orders and leverages total small business set-asides where available, avoiding restricted GWAC or schedule positions. The vendor's federal footprint is built on repeated, smaller transactional orders from a concentrated set of DLA customers, with subcontracting leverage into advanced propulsion through two major primes.
