R.a. Rodriguez, Incorporated

R.a. Rodriguez, Incorporated, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Sands Point and Port Washington, New York, supplies precision bearing components—ball bearings, annular bearings, duplex bearings, track roller bearings, and airframe bearings identified by specific National Stock Numbers—exclusively to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor. The vendor operates 100 percent on the prime side, with no subcontract footprint, and competes predominantly through single-award and total-small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts held with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation.

R.a. Rodriguez's federal footprint is heavily concentrated with a single customer: DLA Aviation accounts for 1,185 of 1,297 total awards (91 percent) and $30.5 million of the $32.9 million combined potential value. The remaining awards come from the broader Defense Logistics Agency (83 awards, $458 thousand), Defense Contract Management Agency (3 awards, $50 thousand), and Department of the Army (2 awards). The vendor has served federal customers continuously since 1999, with recent activity showing 62 awards in 2022, 69 in 2023, 50 in 2024, 57 in 2025, and 10 year-to-date in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $16.4 million, or 50 percent of combined potential value, indicating execution and payment velocity typical of small-order procurement patterns.

R.a. Rodriguez holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, all single-award vehicles. The largest is a $1.30 million total-small-business-set-aside IDC awarded June 14, 2024, extending through June 13, 2029, under which DLA has issued delivery orders ranging from several thousand to over $114,000 each. Six additional IDCs carry $250,000 ceilings, awarded between September 2022 and June 2025, with total-small-business-set-aside designations predominating; one $250,000 IDC was awarded February 5, 2025, under full-and-open (no-set-aside) competition. A $490,470 total-small-business-set-aside IDC was awarded October 16, 2024, through October 15, 2029. Top parent vehicles by task order count include SPE4A619D5702 (22 task orders, $206 thousand), SPE4A719D5150 (19 task orders, $225 thousand), SPE4A617D6124 (18 task orders, $141 thousand), SPM4M108D0031 (17 task orders, $848 thousand), and SP044103D0733 (16 task orders, $233 thousand). Individual task orders under these vehicles typically carry firm-fixed-price structures with completion windows of 171 to 176 days after order placement; representative recent awards include a $202,826 purchase order for duplex ball bearings (NSN 3110009906442), a $114,250 delivery order for annular bearings, and a $101,040 purchase order for annular ball bearings.

Award production reflects a high-velocity, low-value transactional model: 1,297 total awards with $32.9 million combined potential value yields an average award size of approximately $25,400. The vendor's category concentration is extreme—1,247 of 1,297 awards fall under NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), and 1,281 awards are coded to PSC "Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted," indicating a single-product specialization. Thirty-one awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $431 thousand, representing a modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio.

The vendor's ownership and set-aside posture is consistent: R.a. Rodriguez competes predominantly under total-small-business-set-aside IDCs and delivery orders, with occasional full-and-open awards. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since October 2001 and maintains a twenty-five-year continuous contracting relationship with DLA Aviation. All work is performed at facilities in Sands Point or Port Washington, New York, with no offshore or subordinate performance locations. The vendor delivers on a just-in-time, order-to-delivery basis to support global Department of Defense aviation maintenance and repair operations.
