Specialty Seals & Accessories, Inc.

Specialty Seals & Accessories, Inc., doing business as Specialty Seals Accessories, is a woman-owned small business based in National City, California, that manufactures and supplies seals, seal assemblies, shaft couplings, pump components, and related accessories to the Department of Defense and naval supply agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open and total small business set-aside purchase orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint.

The company's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Navy logistics and supply commands. The top five funding agencies account for 87% of recent awards, dominated by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (159 awards, $3.6 million combined potential value) and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (100 awards, $3.2 million). The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware round out the primary customer set. Recent representative prime work includes a $169,203.60 Defense Logistics Agency purchase order for seal assembly shaft components awarded August 2024, a $164,504.55 seal assembly delivery under total small business set-aside from DLA in November 2023, a $115,958.70 Naval Supply Systems Command contract for seal repair and delivery in March 2023, and a $47,800 Naval Supply Systems Command delivery order for flexible shaft couplings. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion timelines of three to eight months.

The vendor holds a single Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, a non-set-aside single-award contract for $250,000 ceiling awarded August 6, 2024, for seal assembly shaft components (National Stock Number 4320015646506), with a one-year ordering period through August 6, 2025. Work is performed at the contractor's facility in Lincoln Acres, California, with all materials delivered to Continental United States and Outside Continental United States Defense Logistics Agency depots.

Recent activity has been modest but stable — averaging 7 to 14 awards per year over the past five years, with nine awards in 2025 and three in 2026 as of February. Only one award (combined potential value $48 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Award sizes range from $225 to $169,203.60, with the majority falling in the $5,000 to $50,000 range. The vendor's capability footprint, derived from PSC and NAICS concentration, centers on power and hand pumps (147 awards), torque converters and speed changers (125 awards), and packing and gasket materials (65 awards), with secondary strength in marine hardware and hull items (15 awards). Set-aside posture is mixed — roughly half of awards use total small business set-aside designation, with the remainder competed full-and-open without set-aside. The vendor has maintained federal contracting relationships since at least 2001 per SAM registration and has accumulated $8.1 million in combined potential value across 417 prime awards spanning fourteen distinct customer agencies.
