Saginaw Products Corporation

Saginaw Products Corporation, operating as Cignys, is a for-profit manufacturer based in Saginaw, Michigan that supplies precision-engineered machined parts, welded assemblies, and mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (98% of awards). The company competes full-and-open across all major award categories with no set-aside posture, though it has occasionally received total small business set-aside task orders under existing IDCs. Cignys manufactures automotive, aerospace, and defense components including swivel casters, wheel assemblies, seals, leveling jacks, steering knuckles, and fasteners—parts that support military vehicle maintenance, logistics operations, and fleet readiness across continental and overseas locations.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) dominates Cignys's customer base. The DLA Land and Maritime division alone accounts for 722 awards worth $15.4 million (76% of the top-customer count), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware with 216 awards at $1.4 million combined potential value. Of the top five customers by award count, four are DLA divisions—Land and Maritime, Troop Support Hardware, Aviation, and the consolidated DLA entity—collectively representing the vast majority of Cignys's federal work. The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command anchors $1.2 million in potential value across six awards, and the Department of the Army holds additional smaller awards. This concentration reflects Cignys's role as a established spare-parts supplier locked into DLA's multi-division logistics supply chain.

Cignys holds a deep portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. Recent IDC vehicles include contracts for pneumatic wheel assemblies ($250,000 ceiling, awarded September 2025), cantilever mount hubs ($250,000, September 2025), plain encased seals ($250,000, July 2025), self-locking studs with a total small business set-aside designation ($250,000, July 2024), and additional IDCs for caster swivels, gearshafts, and various other components. Each carries a $250,000 ceiling with one-year performance periods and guarantees minimum annual order quantities. Representative prime task orders include a $21,177 delivery order for pneumatic wheel assemblies (DLA Land and Maritime, October 2025), a $114,723 purchase order for torque rod assemblies under total small business set-aside (January 2025), a $148,005 small-business-set-aside order for 254 rod assembly/torque units (February 2024), and a $106,149 purchase order for 41 swivel casters (February 2025). Cignys has also supplied retaining rings for Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile safe applications under a $10,852 total small business set-aside to the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (July 2025).

Cignys's recent activity shows a declining trajectory. Prime award volume dropped from 103 in 2022 to 77 in 2025, with only 7 awards recorded so far in 2026 as of the source date. The recompete cliff is modest: only four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $77 thousand. In its 2% subcontractor role, Cignys delivers machined assemblies and structural components to Lockheed Martin (steering arms for H-47ER helicopters, A4 Sentinel platform assemblies, Advanced Radar Threat System Variant mobilizer components), Mantech TSG-2 Joint Venture (Force Design 2030 research and development for Marine Corps warfighting lab ISO Mobilizer 30,000 cap components), BAE Systems (FY24-27 canister production materials), and Raytheon (electromechanical assemblies and structural systems). The subcontract work spans five major primes across defense systems, aviation platforms, and ordnance production.

Cignys's primary NAICS concentration spans automotive and mechanical manufacturing: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (150 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (136 awards), Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (118 awards), Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing (114 awards), and Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components Manufacturing (112 awards). By PSC, the company dominates Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components (540 awards), Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (201 awards), Hardware Commercial (166 awards), and related supply categories. This portfolio reflects a company tightly aligned to defense logistics: spare parts, replacement components, and consumables that sustain military vehicle fleets rather than prime platform development or integration work.
