Ronal Industries, Inc.

Ronal Industries, Inc., a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan, manufactures military-grade mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic components for ground combat vehicles as a prime contractor competing predominantly under total small business set-asides with the Defense Logistics Agency and Army Contracting Command. The for-profit corporation registers as a small business across primary NAICS categories 333612 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), and 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing), delivering concrete components including vaneaxial fans, angle drive units, gear assemblies, solenoid valves, grenade dischargers, smoke dischargers, steer section brake assemblies, and transmission parts through purchase orders and delivery orders issued against Indefinite Delivery Contracts.

Ronal's customer concentration sits entirely within defense: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by award count at 678 awards (combined potential value $46.4 million), the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal anchors the dollars at 63 awards worth $50.4 million combined, and the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command contributes 37 awards valued at $24 million. These three customers account for over 80% of recent awards. The gap between award count and potential value reflects a concentration in smaller purchase orders and delivery orders routed through DLA Land and Maritime, whereas the Army Contracting Command's smaller award volume carries larger individual contract values. Recent representative work includes a $742,000 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 1,000 grenade dischargers (awarded July 30, 2025), a $1,027,334 total small business set-aside definitive contract from Army Contracting Command Warren for 49 fan assembly ventilation units (March 4, 2025), and a $2,526,402 total small business set-aside delivery order from Army Contracting Command Warren for angle drive units under an existing indefinite delivery contract (August 21, 2023).

Ronal holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and Army Contracting Command, including a $4.84 million IDC for angle drive units through August 2026 (which has generated three delivery orders totaling approximately $4.06 million as of the source snapshot), a $350,000 IDC with total small business set-aside awarded May 2026 running through May 2027, and several $250,000 IDCs for specific components such as manual control levers, gear assemblies, rotor assemblies, and mechanical housing. The top five parent vehicles by task order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7MX15D0062 (44 task orders, $2.8 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W52H0906D0096 (18 task orders, $16.1 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract DAAE0798DT016 (11 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV14D0042 (11 task orders, $4.6 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract DAAE0703DN120 (10 task orders, $329 thousand). All work is performed at Ronal's manufacturing facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years—48 awards in 2022, 49 in 2023, 33 in 2024, 42 in 2025, and 12 in the first half of 2026—with 13 awards (combined potential value $5.2 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure across low-dollar, recurring component purchases. Ronal operates as a prime contractor almost exclusively; sub-award footprint is minimal, with named subcontracting relationships to BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. (three materials/component sub-awards in 2024 and 2025 for self-propelled howitzer and core assembly support) and General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. (XM30 Phase 3/4 effort and attachment update in 2024). The vendor competes under total small business set-asides across approximately 60% of awards, with the remainder awarded without set-aside restrictions, suggesting a posture built around small business eligibility but with demonstrated capability to compete full-and-open when invited.
