Qline Products Corp

Qline Products Corp, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small disadvantaged business based in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, Florida, manufactures precision hardware components and custom-machined parts for military applications as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency across four operational divisions. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and competes primarily under Total Small Business set-asides on established indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, though recent awards show increasing penetration of full-and-open competitive procurements.

Qline's capability footprint centers on defense logistics hardware: clevis and rod end components, manual control handles, mounting brackets, lifting eye brackets, truck bomb lift beams, grooved headless pins, front sight components, manual control levers, vehicle body stakes, cable assemblies, quick-release pins, tubes and fittings, spacer sleeves, access covers, bushings and sleeves, feed mechanism covers, steering ring assemblies, shaft assemblies, screw extensions, track and skate mounting components, cable reels, metal tire wheels, doors and hatches, weapon access doors, metal grilles, modification kits, and aircraft main slings. Representative prime awards include a $31,515 firm fixed-price delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in January 2026 for steering ring assemblies under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $21,054.20 purchase order from DLA Aviation in July 2026 for grooved headless pins; and a $123,684.60 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in December 2024 for 314 units of rotating eye brackets under a Total Small Business set-aside.

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 301 awards and $8.9 million (89%) of combined potential value; DLA Aviation holds 99 awards valued at $1 million (10%); DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents 23 awards worth $160 thousand; and two remaining agencies carry minimal exposure. All work flows to a single federal buyer—the Defense Logistics Agency—across its logistics supply divisions.

Qline holds approximately fifteen active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000 ceiling under Total Small Business set-asides, covering distinct product lines: brake cable assemblies, access covers, standoff skirting assemblies, modification kits, metal tire wheels, manual control levers, steering ring assemblies, linear actuator pistons, weapon access doors (DLA Aviation), and vehicle body panels. These IDCs structure work as firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders issued on an on-demand basis, typically carrying 90-to-211-day delivery windows to DLA consolidation points serving both continental and overseas defense depots.

Activity has grown sharply—from 41 awards in 2022 to 151 in 2024—then moderated to 144 in 2025 and 29 to date in 2026 (source current as of mid-July 2026). Combined potential value stands at $10 million across 425 recent prime awards; actual obligated dollars total $2.5 million, indicating that approximately 75% of contract ceilings remain unrealized. The recompete cliff carries low exposure: only 16 awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months represent $129 thousand in combined potential value, suggesting minimal near-term contract turnover risk.

Individual purchase order and delivery order values range from under $1,000 to $123,684, with a median in the $5,000–$10,000 band typical of component-level hardware procurement. Qline operates as a sole prime with no subcontractor relationships across all sampled awards. The company's award profile emphasizes low-to-mid-volume, high-specification precision machining for military vehicle and vessel platforms under NAICS categories including Hardware Manufacturing (103 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (62 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (42 awards), and Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (40 awards). Recent narrative summaries in the source cite Qline's receipt of "over 200 federal contract awards valued at approximately $1.5 million" historically, positioning the current $10 million portfolio and recent activity surge as a significant expansion of scope and volume.

All work is performed at Qline's manufacturing facilities in Port Charlotte, Florida. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on established DLA indefinite delivery vehicles, with selective full-and-open awards reflecting competitive acceptance of firm fixed pricing and ability to meet military specifications without set-aside reserves.
