Selchert Precision Welding LLC

Selchert Precision Welding LLC, a Haysville, Kansas-based self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit manufacturer, supplies precision metal components and aircraft structural parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders and one active indefinite delivery contract. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and competes full-and-open on most work, though several awards carry total small business set-aside designations.

The vendor's capability portfolio is tightly focused on precision metal fabrication for defense logistics: aircraft fixtures, fairings for guided missile launchers, structural brackets, fastening hardware, fluid manifolds, handrail assemblies, damper canopies, windshield parts kits, and specialized components such as pilot escape handles, drawbar telescopes, and mounting brackets. Representative work includes a $179,999.97 windshield parts kit for DLA Aviation awarded January 29, 2025; a $174,449.70 telescoping drawbar purchase order for DLA Construction and Equipment set aside for total small business, awarded February 1, 2022; and a $109,842.48 drawbar parts order for DLA Construction and Equipment awarded September 28, 2022. The company holds one active Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation (ceiling $250,000, established September 20, 2023) for delivery of self-locking hex nuts to defense depots across CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. DLA Aviation dominates by both volume and dollars, accounting for 82 awards with $855 thousand combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime holds 43 awards ($384 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds 14 awards ($690 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware holds 2 awards ($4 thousand). The four DLA entities account for 100% of the vendor's recent award portfolio. Award sizes are consistently small, ranging from under $500 to approximately $200,000, with the windshield kit and drawbar orders among the largest individual items.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor received 27 awards in 2022, 31 in 2023, but only 18 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 7 through April 2026. Combined potential value across the entire 141-award portfolio stands at $1.9 million, with $1.4 million obligated (74%). Only two awards carrying combined potential value of $12 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company registered in SAM.gov in September 2018 and has maintained steady DLA supplier status across multiple divisions since 2021, specializing in aircraft and vehicular component manufacturing under NAICS codes focused on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, hardware manufacturing, and motor vehicle parts.
