Ripa Engineering Corp

Ripa Engineering Corp is a small business manufacturer of precision-engineered aerospace and defense components headquartered in Chatsworth, California. Registered with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 22, 2002, the company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and has established itself as a qualified supplier within the defense industrial base. Ripa Engineering Corp specializes in the production of high-quality industrial machinery and specialized parts essential for military applications, leveraging its manufacturing expertise to support the Department of Defense's supply chain and logistics operations across multiple federal agencies.

Throughout its federal contracting history, Ripa Engineering Corp has delivered a comprehensive range of aerospace and defense components primarily to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, with additional awards from the U.S. Coast Guard and Army Troop Support. The company's product portfolio includes linear actuators, valves, gears, hydraulic fittings, housing assemblies, cylinder assemblies, shaft assemblies, piston components, pins, bolts, structural brackets, baffle assemblies, and various mechanical and structural components critical to military aircraft, missile systems, and ground vehicles. Recent contract awards demonstrate substantial activity, including a $237,300 purchase order for spring cartridge supplies (awarded February 13, 2025), a $117,895 purchase order for tilt cylinder assemblies (awarded June 30, 2025), and numerous smaller purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from approximately $1,200 to $135,765 in value. The majority of Ripa Engineering's awards have been designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's status as a qualified small business contractor and the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in the defense industrial base. Contract types include both firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders issued against indefinite delivery contracts, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2027 for recent awards, demonstrating ongoing demand for the company's specialized manufacturing capabilities.

Ripa Engineering Corp maintains an extensive portfolio of Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency, consisting of approximately ten active or recently completed single-award IDC vehicles with ceiling values ranging from $249,999.99 to $1,999,999.99. These IDCs, awarded between June 2021 and May 2025, encompass performance periods extending through 2029 and 2030, establishing a long-term framework for the procurement of specialized aerospace and defense components. The majority of Ripa Engineering's IDCs are designated as total small business set-asides, including contracts valued at $250,000 (awarded July 21-22, 2024), $1,999,999.99 (awarded November 28, 2023), and $249,999.99 (awarded February 13, 2025, July 26, 2024, and September 14, 2023). These IDCs enable DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime to issue task orders and delivery orders for the procurement of linear actuators, valves, gears, hydraulic fittings, housing assemblies, cylinder assemblies, roller assemblies, piston components, fitting assemblies, torsion link pins, baffle assemblies, and structural brackets as operational needs arise. Individual task orders issued under these IDCs have ranged from approximately $1,000 to $135,765 in value, allowing the government to efficiently procure specialized components while maintaining the benefits of small business set-aside designations, ensuring Ripa Engineering's continued role as a critical supplier within the defense supply chain.
