Seco Seals, Inc.

Seco Seals, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, manufactures and supplies conical and flared seals, tubing, sleeves, and related pipe and fitting components to the Defense Logistics Agency and affiliated Department of Defense entities as a prime contractor on 252 of its 255 recent federal awards. The Costa Mesa, California-based manufacturer is a Subchapter S corporation that competes predominantly full-and-open (93% of awards carry no set-aside designation), though it holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract reserved under total small business set-aside.

Seco Seals' federal customer base is highly concentrated. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 215 of 237 awards with disclosed values—84% of the award count—with a combined potential value of $1.6 million. Within DLA, the vendor supplies conical flared seals (PSC code 4610, hose and pipe fittings) as the dominant product line, with occasional orders for flared tube sleeves and special seals. The remaining customer agencies—DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA Aviation, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command—collectively account for 23 awards, $55 thousand combined potential value. This concentration around DLA Land and Maritime logistics procurement for military vehicle, vessel, and equipment maintenance reflects a narrow, specialized supplier position.

Seco Seals holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (SPE7M322D60CD, total small business set-aside, $250,000 ceiling) awarded by DLA Land and Maritime in June 2022 and completed in June 2023. The vendor issued multiple delivery orders under that vehicle; subsequent orders placed by DLA have been individual purchase orders and delivery orders. Other named parent vehicles (SPM7M109D5A02, SP072005D5D32, SP072005D5F94, SP074003D5D45) carry minimal combined value.

Activity has declined measurably over the past five years. Award volume fell from 15 in 2023 to 8 in 2024, then to 6 in 2025, with only 2 awards in 2026 to date. Most recent awards closed or are closing: a February 2026 order for conical flared seals valued at $7,741 and a February 2026 order for $1,527 complete by April 2026 and March 2026 respectively. The combined potential value of recent awards ($2.1 million) is substantially smaller than obligated dollars ($2.6 million), suggesting the vendor has over-performed against initial potential estimates or is drawing down inventory on maturing awards.

Seco Seals operates with minimal subcontracting exposure. The source names three sub-awards under Raytheon Company (all dated March 20, 2025) for patriot missile spares and tubing fabrication in support of Swiss Foreign Military Sales and AN/TPY-2 radar production, representing 1% of the 255 total awards. The vendor's primary NAICS codes are Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (178 awards) and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet and Washer Manufacturing (18 awards), reflecting its position as a specialty components manufacturer rather than a systems integrator or service provider. All work is performed at the vendor's Costa Mesa facility with no noted overseas performance.
