Rieker Instrument Co., Inc.

Rieker Instrument Co., Inc., doing business as Rieker Inc., manufactures precision electronic and mechanical measurement instruments for military aviation and vehicle applications, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open and total small business set-aside purchase orders and delivery orders placed by the Defense Logistics Agency and subordinate DoD commands. Rieker is a woman-owned small business based in Aston, Pennsylvania, classified under NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and NAICS 334513 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing).

Rieker's federal footprint is narrow and highly concentrated: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 145 of 192 recent awards (75% of volume) and $1.8 million of $2.9 million combined potential value (62%). A distant second is DLA Land and Maritime with 8 awards ($23 thousand), followed by the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (12 awards, $32 thousand), the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (4 awards, $135 thousand), and the Coast Guard (3 awards, $12 thousand). The company has served 13 distinct federal agencies, but DLA Aviation's dominance is overwhelming and consistent across both award-count and potential-value rankings.

Rieker's product portfolio centers on vehicular inclinometers, aircraft inclinometers, attitude indicators, clinometers, motion transducers, and bubble tubes — all precision measurement devices for military aircraft and ground vehicle applications. Representative recent awards from DLA Aviation include a $6,381.05 firm fixed-price delivery order (December 2025) for attitude indicators, a $6,177.60 delivery order (December 2024) for vehicular inclinometers, a $4,397.25 purchase order (December 2023) for motion transducers, and a $5,360.00 delivery order (February 2023) for aircraft inclinometers. Most individual purchase orders and delivery orders range from $50 to $2,240, though the company's two active indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Aviation carry ceilings of $250,000 (established 2022, expired December 2023) and $350,000 (established April 2026, running through April 2031).

Activity peaked in 2023 with 23 awards, then contracted sharply to 8 awards in 2024 and 6 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. This trajectory reflects either cyclical purchasing patterns at DLA Aviation or potential business pressure; however, Rieker holds a newly awarded $350,000 IDIQ (April 2026, total small business set-aside) that provides a vehicle for continued task-order activity through 2031. Combined obligated dollars across all 192 awards total $996 thousand (35% of the $2.9 million potential value), indicating a high percentage of unfilled ceiling authority.

Rieker's top parent vehicles are DLA Aviation indefinite-delivery IDIQs, including contracts SPE4A618D6070 (16 task orders, $39 thousand), SPM4A612D5052 (15 task orders, $76 thousand), SPE4A723D60DF (11 task orders, $4 thousand), and SPM44003D0957 (8 task orders, $47 thousand). The company does not hold positions on governmentwide acquisition contracts, GWACs, or GSA Schedules; its entire prime footprint is rooted in DLA-issued IDIQs and direct purchase orders. Rieker operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontract relationships in the source data. The company does not compete under 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran set-asides; its woman-owned small business designation qualifies it for total small business set-asides on applicable DLA solicitations, though many of its recent awards carry no set-aside designation and compete full-and-open against all small businesses.
