R / A Hoerr, Inc.

R / A Hoerr, Inc., doing business as Hoerr Racing Products, supplies precision mechanical components and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The Edwards, Illinois-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation competes full-and-open, though two recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations; the vendor has no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other formal small-business certifications beyond its small-business registration status.

The vendor's portfolio centers on discrete mechanical hardware and bearing components. Representative work includes a $40,194 total small business purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment in June 2026 for gasket forming compound; a $16,216.47 total small business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in January 2026 for cover strip components; and multiple DLA Aviation orders for annular ball bearings, tapered roller bearings, and fasteners in the $1,000–$12,000 range throughout 2025 and early 2026. The vendor also supplies screws, nuts, washers, springs, pins, rivets, hose clamps, o-rings, adhesives, sealing compounds, and ancillary mechanical hardware.

Customer concentration is absolute with DLA. The top five DLA divisions account for 100% of recent awards. DLA Aviation dominates by volume (892 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), while DLA Land and Maritime anchors potential-value share (273 awards, $3.1 million combined potential value). DLA Troop Support Hardware (316 awards, $156 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (211 awards, $237 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Medical (5 awards, $5 thousand) round out the active set. The vendor serves seven distinct agencies including the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, but DLA engagement drives the business.

The vendor holds three indefinite delivery contracts. A single-award total small business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime carries a $350,000 ceiling (awarded March 25, 2026, completing March 25, 2027) for specialized mechanical components and hardware across CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots. A single-award total small business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $250,000 (awarded November 1, 2024, completing November 1, 2025) procures shaft collars (NSN 5340016738339) with estimated ordering three to four times per year and a guaranteed minimum purchase of 60 units. A third $250,000 indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (referenced in multiple award summaries) covers marker clearance lights and similar specialized components. Several additional DLA IDCs valued at $250,000 each are referenced in the source material covering protective dust caps and other components, though the specific parent vehicle detail is not fully enumerated here.

Activity was steady through 2024 at 220–302 awards per year but has declined in 2025 (186 awards) and 2026 year-to-date (151 awards). One award (the March 25, 2026 DLA Land and Maritime IDC with $350,000 potential value) completes in the next twenty-four months and therefore faces recompete risk.

The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor; no subcontract footprint is present in the source. Work is performed exclusively at the vendor's Edwards, Illinois facility with deliveries to DLA distribution centers and depots across the continental United States and overseas locations.

The capability portfolio is granular and transactional. NAICS concentration centers on Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (758 awards), Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (242 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (113 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (99 awards), and Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (70 awards). PSC concentration runs to Screws (416 awards), Nuts and Washers (274 awards), Bearings—Antifriction Unmounted (227 awards), Preservative and Sealing Compounds (122 awards), and Hardware—Commercial (118 awards). The vendor is a high-velocity micro-supplier to defense logistics rather than a systems integrator or program-level contractor.

40+ years of success in the auto racing industry brought about the birth of Hoerr Racing Products (HRP) in 1998. This expansion into the racing parts business has allowed the company to service its customers' race teams from the design process through the building and maintenance of their cars, providing not only the necessary parts to run a team successfully, but the technical knowledge that four decades of experience in auto racing has produced.
