Scott Industrial Systems, Inc.

Scott Industrial Systems, Inc., a small business based in Huber Heights, Ohio, supplies industrial components and mechanical parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, with over 6,200 awards concentrated almost entirely among Defense Logistics Agency divisions. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation, though it holds Total Small Business set-aside awards across its portfolio.

The company's capability footprint centers on standardized industrial components for military equipment maintenance and logistics: valves (solenoid, safety relief, check, flow control, linear direct, regulating), hydraulic equipment (pumps, accumulators, coolers), motors (direct current), seals and gaskets, filters, and mechanical assemblies identified by National Stock Numbers. Representative work includes a $328,635 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) for 550 valve restrictor components, an $85,095.50 Total Small Business set-aside from DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025) for 14 cylinder assemblies, and a $61,672.99 Total Small Business set-aside from DLA Land and Maritime (July 2025) for a hydraulic pump. Scott Industrial Systems also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $1.31 million for Direct Current Motors, awarded March 2024 with an ultimate completion date of March 14, 2026, which anchors recurring delivery orders.

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime represents 4,035 of 6,207 awards (65% of total count) with $63.8 million in combined potential value (50% of total dollars); DLA Aviation accounts for 1,036 awards and $9.2 million; DLA Troop Support divisions contribute 754 awards and $3.8 million combined. The remaining customer base—the Army Materiel Command (Detroit Arsenal, TACOM), Naval Supply Systems Command, and 28 other agencies—comprises only 5% of awards by count but 21% of potential value, reflecting higher-dollar Army procurements ($17.8 million to Detroit Arsenal alone across 40 awards) that sit outside the commodity-driven DLA relationship.

The top parent vehicles are single-award IDCs: IDC SP070099D9729 (43 task orders, amount not specified in source), IDC SPE7MX21D5005 (10 task orders, $4.7 million), and four other smaller IDVs. The company's activity has declined markedly—from 519 awards in 2022 to 57 in 2026 year-to-date—suggesting either a natural leveling after a peak or a shift in customer demand for commodity components. Only 28 awards with combined potential value of $353 thousand are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next 24 months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

The company's award profile consists almost entirely of small-dollar purchase orders (typically $1,000–$50,000) and occasional larger Total Small Business set-aside procurements. All 3 sub-awards in the source data appear to be clerical artifacts; the substantive footprint is prime contracting. Scott Industrial Systems has held federal contractor status since April 2002 (per SAM registration noted in source summaries) and maintains performance locations in Huber Heights, Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio. The vendor's competitive posture is full-and-open procurement; DLA's reliance on Scott for standardized components across Land and Maritime and Aviation reflects vendor lock-in through the IDC structure rather than set-aside protection.
