R.j. Cleansvendornametrait.phpmurray Co., Inc.

R.J. Murray Co., Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Latham, New York, supplies HVAC components and industrial equipment to the Defense Department as a prime contractor on thousands of small purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing predominantly under small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements with no subcontract footprint.

R.J. Murray is a small business federal contractor that has maintained an active presence since October 2001, with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other federal small business certification explicitly stated in the source material. The vendor's customer base is almost entirely concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which accounts for 95% of recent award count and roughly 85% of combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime dominates the relationship, driving 687 awards valued at $5.1 million combined potential; DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment follows with 419 awards at $2.7 million; and DLA Aviation contributes 128 awards at $1.1 million. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command placed two awards at $144 thousand combined potential, representing the only material non-DLA customer in the recent footprint.

R.J. Murray's commodity portfolio centers on heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) replacement parts and mechanical components for military equipment maintenance. The vendor supplies fluid filters, seal assemblies, compressor parts, valves, magnetic unloaders, temperature controls, shaft couplings, gaskets, oil separators, and related mechanical and electrical consumables. Representative work includes a $155,220 Total Small Business purchase order (January 2026) from DLA Troop Support for 13 refrigeration compressor units; a $128,172 Total Small Business purchase order (August 2023) from the Navy Military Sealift Command for 500-ton chiller spare parts supporting the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy hospital ships; a $73,680 full-and-open purchase order (August 2023) from the Marine Corps for Carrier brand compressor and tubing kits; and a $25,010 Total Small Business purchase order (May 2025) from DLA Land and Maritime for oil separators. Individual delivery orders typically range from $1,400 to $4,200 for fluid filters, seal assemblies, and similar routine consumables under the vendor's active indefinite delivery contracts.

The vendor holds five active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA divisions: a $350,000 IDC (December 2025 through December 2026) with DLA Aviation for temperature control instruments (NSN 6685015430839); a $250,000 IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for shouldered shaft components (NSN 3040014246232), awarded February 2025; a $250,000 IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for fluid filter elements and related components, awarded December 2024; and two additional $250,000 IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime for seal assemblies and magnetic unloaders, awarded in 2023 and running through mid-2024. All IDCs are designated as total small business set-asides with estimated 3–12 delivery orders per year and guaranteed minimum quantities per order. Top IDC vehicles by task order count include SPE7M823D60AP (9 orders, $15 thousand combined potential), SP050004D5183 (8 orders), SPE7M320D60TY (7 orders, $12 thousand combined potential), and SPE7M824D60CC (5 orders, $14 thousand combined potential).

Activity has declined year over year, from 103 awards in 2022 to 66 in 2025 and 14 through March 2026, with combined potential value stable at approximately $11 million across 1,417 total prime awards. Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $20 thousand, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Award distribution across top NAICS categories shows concentration in air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing (424 awards), industrial valve manufacturing (153 awards), and gasket and sealing device manufacturing (70 awards). Top PSC codes align: refrigeration and air-conditioning components (423 awards), nonpowered valves (125 awards), and packing and gasket materials (96 awards).

The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-aside designations on its core DLA portfolio, with occasional full-and-open awards. Performance occurs entirely at the contractor's Latham facility, with delivery to DLA depots throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. The narrow customer concentration—DLA accounts for all but $144 thousand of the $11 million portfolio—reflects a supply-chain role as a distributor of routine maintenance parts rather than a systems integrator or prime on larger platform programs.
