About the company
Detroit Defense, Inc., a child division of Detroit Defense Systems, LLC, operates as a subcontractor providing armored vehicle parts and production support to the Department of the Army. The vendor has delivered three sub-awards totaling $237 thousand in obligated value, all under a single prime relationship with AM General LLC on HMMWV production and sustainment work funded by the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support.
Detroit Defense, Inc. competes exclusively in its subcontractor role; no prime contract awards appear in the source data. All three recent awards date to 2024 and consist of production modifications, spare-parts updates, and foreign military sales documentation support for HMMWV platforms under the indefinite delivery contract W56HZV17D0071. The work is characterized as Auto Parts manufacturing under NAICS 338999 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing). The parent company, Detroit Defense Systems, LLC, is structured as a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods, based in Troy, Michigan.
Activity is minimal and recent — three awards in 2024, with no awards recorded after October 2024. The vendor serves a single customer agency (Army), and all task orders flow through one prime contractor (AM General LLC) on one parent vehicle. This footprint suggests Detroit Defense, Inc. operates as a specialized parts and production-support supplier within the HMMWV industrial base rather than as a diversified defense contractor. No recompete exposure, vehicle diversity, or multi-customer platform position is evident from the source data.
