SRM Mfg. Co., LLC

SRM Mfg. Co., LLC, doing business as SRM MFG Co, is a Hispanic American-owned and minority-owned manufacturer of precision metal components and assemblies serving the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with 100 percent of recent awards as prime work and a heavy concentration in total small business set-asides.

The company manufactures tube assemblies, aircraft ground shields, hydraulic lines, static line extensions, and related precision metal parts for defense logistics and military aircraft maintenance operations. SRM is based in Fredericksburg, Texas and performs all work at that facility. The vendor's product portfolio centers on two dominant NAICS categories — Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (310 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (130 awards) — with corresponding PSC strength in Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing (493 awards) and Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (136 awards). Recent representative contract work includes a $360.6 thousand purchase order from DLA Aviation for 26 aircraft ground shields (awarded October 2024, due October 2026), a $153 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 85 units of metal tube assemblies (awarded May 2025, due March 2026), and a $154 thousand purchase order from DLA Aviation for 11 aircraft ground shields (awarded July 2025, due July 2027).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency dependent. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 389 awards (42 percent of the vendor's portfolio) with $6.1 million in combined potential value, and DLA Aviation accounts for 241 awards (26 percent) with $4 million. These two DLA divisions together represent 88 percent of recent awards and 92 percent of combined potential value across all customers. The remaining customer base—the Air Force, Navy, and other defense organizations—together account for less than 12 percent of activity. SRM holds three active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at approximately $250 thousand and designated as total small business set-asides, with performance periods extending through 2023, 2028, and 2028 respectively. These IDCs function as pre-qualified sourcing vehicles enabling DLA Aviation to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders directly to SRM without competitive re-solicitation.

Activity has fluctuated year over year — 13 awards in 2022, climbing to 40 in 2023, declining to 20 in 2024, recovering to 24 in 2025, and dropping to 3 awards through March 2026 in the current year — suggesting volatile demand or potential pipeline weakness. Nineteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.1 million and face recompete. SRM competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its DLA footprint; roughly 40 percent of recent awards cite total small business set-aside designation, with the remainder unset-aside but still flowing through a minority-owned, pre-qualified small business supplier relationship. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; its parent contract vehicles are single-award DLA Aviation indefinite delivery contracts and episodic DLA purchase orders. SRM does not operate as a subcontractor — all 924 awards in the source are prime contracts.
