Shiloh Industries Inc.

Shiloh Industries Inc., a small business based in Huber Heights, Ohio, manufactures precision-engineered electrical and mechanical components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though some of its IDCs carry total small business set-aside designations.

Shiloh is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation specializing in electronic connector manufacturing, switchgear apparatus manufacturing, and related electrical-mechanical component production. The company's federal footprint centers on NAICS codes 335313 (Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing) and 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing), with PSC exposure across Connectors, Electrical (582 awards); Switches (527 awards); and Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components (272 awards). The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and maintains no SBA designations (non-8(a), non-HUBZone, non-SDVOSB, non-WOSB).

The DLA dominates Shiloh's customer base. DLA Land and Maritime issued 2,094 awards (67% of the prime portfolio) valued at $30.7 million, and DLA Aviation issued 406 awards (13%) valued at $16.3 million. Together these two DLA components account for 93% of recent awards and $47 million of the $56.4 million combined potential value. A distant third customer is the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex with $2.3 million across 12 awards. Award concentration is acute: the top two customers (DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation) account for approximately 80% of dollar value, indicating narrow customer dependency rooted in the vendor's core capability to supply specialized electrical components supporting military maintenance, repair, and readiness operations.

Shiloh's recent award activity is flat to declining. The vendor received 155 awards annually in 2022 and 2023, declining to 122 in 2024 and 125 in 2025, with only 33 awards visible in 2026 year-to-date through mid-July. The combined potential value across all 3,115 awards is $56.4 million, though obligated dollars ($60.6 million) exceed that figure, reflecting prior-year executions. Thirty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.6 million—a modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio.

Shiloh holds approximately ten active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each carrying $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings and one-year to five-year base periods (the most recent, awarded November 12, 2025, runs through November 6, 2030). Recent IDC vehicles include a $350,000 contract (NSN 5985012783458, antenna support equipment; awarded April 16, 2026), a $350,000 contract (NSN 5920014348503, electrostatic holders; awarded April 3, 2026), a $350,000 total small business set-aside contract for electrical covers (awarded March 10, 2026), and a $250,000 contract for electrical capacitors (awarded October 9, 2025). The top five parent vehicles by task-order count are all DLA-issued IDCs, with the largest carrying 16 task orders valued at $969 thousand. Work is performed entirely at the contractor's Huber Heights, Ohio facility, serving CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots via consolidation and containerization points.

Representative prime work includes a $304,009.62 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 30, 2026) for 6,411 units of waveguide seals (NSN 5985014070088); a $271,148.64 total small business set-aside purchase order (March 31, 2026) for rotary switches (PSC 8512008803); a $229,197.36 purchase order (May 20, 2026) for waveguide seals under an RFQ requiring 4,808 units and 421-day delivery; a $114,023 total small business set-aside purchase order (April 3, 2025) for relay assemblies; and numerous smaller orders ($2,000 to $50,000 range) for electrical connectors, plugs, receptacles, switches, antenna support equipment, terminal board assemblies, and mechanical components. Set-aside activity is mixed: while the vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, a material subset of its awards carry total small business set-aside designations, indicating DLA's practice of reserving recurring component procurements for small business sources where approved-vendor lists permit.

Shiloh subcontracts minimally. The award portfolio identifies only one sub-award: a subcontract to General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (October 20, 2025) for engineering services to upgrade, inspect, test, and deliver Mark 41 Vertical Launching System components. This limited sub engagement reflects Shiloh's identity as a manufacturing-focused prime rather than a systems integrator or prime contractor routing work downward.

The vendor's product portfolio is tightly bounded around precision-engineered electrical and mechanical components manufactured to defense specifications. Concrete category strengths (by award count) include electronic connectors (434 awards), other electronic components (253 awards), radio and wireless equipment components (192 awards), miscellaneous manufacturing (190 awards), and switchgear apparatus (176 awards). The company does not pursue IT, professional services, or maintenance contracts; its business model is component manufacturing to DLA recurring requirements, executed through standing IDCs against which DLA issues firm fixed-price delivery orders.
