R.j. Murray Co., Inc.

R.J. Murray Co., Inc., operating as RJ Murray Co Inc. from Latham, New York, is a small business distributor of HVAC components, industrial equipment, and mechanical parts that competes exclusively as a prime contractor supplying the Department of Defense through small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation with no stated SBA certifications; however, a material portion of its recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, and the company holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts designated as total small business set-asides with the Defense Logistics Agency.

R.J. Murray has held over 1,400 federal prime awards since registering as a federal contractor in October 2001. Recent activity shows a decline from annual run rates of 101–103 awards in 2023 and 2022 to 30 awards through July 2026, driven by the structure of its contracting posture: the vast majority of awards are individual purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from single-digit dollars to roughly $25,000, with the average order sized for rapid fulfillment of consumable components. Concrete examples include a $155,220 purchase order for 13 refrigeration compressors (January 2026, DLA Troop Support, Total Small Business set-aside), a $25,010 purchase order for oil separators (May 2025, DLA Land and Maritime, Total Small Business set-aside), and a $20,613.19 purchase order for shaft flex couplings (October 2024, DLA Land and Maritime, Total Small Business set-aside). The company's capability portfolio centers on fluid filter elements, seal assemblies, valve components (ball, solenoid, safety relief, discharge guide), compressor and refrigeration parts (pistons, crankshafts, separators, unloaders), shaft and coupling assemblies, gasket and packing materials, electrical coils and relays, temperature controls, and HVAC instrumentation. All work is performed at the contractor's Latham, New York facility.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 697 awards ($5.2 million combined potential value), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 422 awards ($2.7 million), and DLA Aviation for 131 awards ($1.1 million combined potential value). Together, the top five DLA divisions represent 95% of award count and 85% of combined potential value. The remaining 29 customer agencies—including the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command, the Department of the Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, and DLA Troop Support Hardware—account for roughly 5% of the portfolio. R.J. Murray holds six single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA divisions, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000 and designated as total small business set-asides: one with DLA Aviation (temperature control instruments, NSN 6685015430839, awarded December 2025, ceiling $350,000), one with DLA Land and Maritime for shouldered shaft components (NSN 3040014246232, awarded February 2025, ceiling $250,000), one with DLA Land and Maritime for fluid filter elements (awarded December 2024, ceiling $250,000), one for seal assembly shafts (awarded July 2023, ceiling $250,000), one for magnetic unloaders (awarded July 2023, ceiling $250,000), and one for fluid filters that expired November 2024 (ceiling $250,000). Delivery orders against these vehicles run $1,400 to $4,200 per order on typical operations, with estimated annual order volumes of three to four per contract and guaranteed minimum quantities of one to ten units. The company's top product categories—refrigeration and air-conditioning components (424 awards), valves (126 awards), packing and gasket materials (96 awards), centrifuges and filters (89 awards)—align directly with DLA's depot-level maintenance and logistics mission.

Combined potential value across all 1,433 awards is $11.1 million, with $7.4 million obligated (66% execution rate). The combined potential value of awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months is not stated in the source; however, the decline from 103 awards in 2023 to 30 year-to-date in 2026 signals recompete exposure on expiring DLA IDCs and individual purchase-order vehicles. R.J. Murray maintains no subcontract footprint and no teaming relationships in the award record; it operates as a distribution and supply fulfillment specialist entirely through its own operations.
