Rich Industries Inc.

Rich Industries Inc., a small business manufacturer based in New Philadelphia, Ohio, supplies industrial supplies and protective equipment to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) operating under total small business set-asides across nearly all prime work. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation competing predominantly within small business reserve vehicles — the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) dominates 72% of total awards and $99.5 million of the combined potential value, with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounting for a further 21% of awards and $608 thousand.

Rich Industries' capability portfolio centers on bags, tubing, sheeting, protective equipment, and hazardous material containment products. Recent concrete examples include a $211,024.60 BPA call from NAVSUP in December 2025 for bags and bottle containers under Federal Supply Class 4820, a $92,307.60 BPA call in October 2024 for specialized wet suits, a $270,000 purchase order in January 2024 for thermal fabric, a $636,880 purchase order in November 2022 for 12-by-24-inch bags, and a $276,925 purchase order in November 2023 for plastic bags. The vendor also supplies nonmetallic tubing, padded bags, plastic sheeting, footwear covers, container boxes, and glove sleeves across dozens of recurring task orders annually.

The customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Navy accounts for 99% of awards and $94.4 million of $94.4 million combined potential value. NAVSUP alone holds 647 awards valued at $93.7 million. The secondary customer, NAVSEA, places 186 awards valued at $608 thousand — a volume customer with minimal dollar density. Remaining customers (Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management, Defense Logistics Agency divisions) collectively represent less than 1% of dollars.

Rich Industries holds a single anchor vehicle: a $40 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSUP (N0010423ASL01, awarded December 15, 2022, running through December 14, 2027) that supports recurring requirements for whole body valves and valve piece parts under Federal Supply Class 4820 with focus on the Radcon Program. The BPA is not set-aside designated, but individual calls under it are uniformly set aside for total small business participation on a firm fixed-price basis. The company also appears on four legacy NAVSUP IDCs (Indefinite Delivery Contracts) that pre-date the 2022 BPA: N0010418ABU01 with 110 task orders ($5.4 million), N0010409G7006 with 58 task orders ($1.8 million), and N0010404G7008 with 65 task orders ($969 thousand). Activity has declined year over year — 37 prime awards in 2022 to 4 in the first four months of 2026. Only 11 awards (combined potential value $576 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and thus face immediate recompete exposure.

Rich Industries subcontracts on Department of Energy cleanup programs. The vendor supplies sleeving and glovebags to Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC (sub awards November 2025 and June 2025 for tank disposition work), Level B protective garments to contractors on the Idaho Cleanup Project (sub awards February, April, and November 2024), and boot components to Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC on naval nuclear laboratory operations (sub award May 2024). The vendor also subcontracted protective gear to Central Plateau Cleanup Company, LLC (December 2022). Sub work represents roughly 1% of total award count and focuses on specialized protective equipment and hazardous containment products for environmental remediation.

Across the PSC portfolio, the vendor's work concentrates in bags and sacks (215 awards), hose and flexible tubing (169 awards), plastics fabricated materials (118 awards), packaging and packing (95 awards), and safety and rescue equipment (84 awards). The NAICS framing includes all other miscellaneous general purpose machinery manufacturing (235 awards), plastics bag and pouch manufacturing (69 awards), hazardous waste treatment and disposal (68 awards), and surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (38 awards) — a mixture reflecting the vendor's role as a multi-category supplier of protective and industrial goods rather than a single-PSC specialist.
