R. Laing Manufacturing Inc.

R. Laing Manufacturing Inc., doing business as R Laing Manufacturing, manufactures specialized defense and aerospace components—hose couplings, counter assemblies, yoke and disc assemblies, and aircraft ground servicing equipment—as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) and subcontractor to major defense primes. The San Antonio, Texas–based company is a minority-owned, Hispanic American–owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly on non-set-aside purchase orders, with one recent Total Small Business set-aside award.

R. Laing's customer base concentrates heavily within the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers by award count account for 89% of recent awards, led by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (25 awards, $472 thousand combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (13 awards, $150 thousand), and DLA Aviation (6 awards, $36 thousand). Dollar concentration tracks award concentration—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment anchors the portfolio at $472 thousand of the combined $678 thousand potential value across all prime and sub work. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center rounds out the active prime customer set. Most recent activity centers on DLA purchase orders: a $27.5 thousand May 2026 Total Small Business award for hose couplings (ultimate completion September 2026), a $16.4 thousand April 2025 firm fixed-price order for counter assemblies, and a $17.5 thousand October 2024 purchase order for yoke and disc assemblies from DLA Land and Maritime.

R. Laing places task orders under five parent indefinite-delivery and basic ordering agreement vehicles, with three task orders flowing through Indefinite Delivery Contract FA863722DB001 and two through each of SPM45004D1558 and SP045004D1558. NAICS concentration leans heavily toward Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (30 awards), with secondary strength in bolt and fastener manufacturing and fabricated pipe and fitting manufacturing. In its subcontractor role, R. Laing delivers hardware manufacturing and test fixture work to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. on multiple Armed Overwatch and BIG SAFARI task orders, and provides F-16 support equipment to BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. on Ukraine-focused defense initiatives. Activity has grown modestly in recent years—one award in 2026 year-to-date, six in 2025, and two each in 2023 and 2024—from a baseline of four awards in 2022. Combined dollars obligated ($1.3 million) exceed combined potential value ($678 thousand), indicating completion of work beyond contract ceilings or contract modifications that have increased award values since original posting.
