Stephan Wood Products Inc.

Stephan Wood Products Inc., a HUBZone-certified small business manufacturer based in Grayling, Michigan, delivers precision wood and composite components for military vehicle systems as a prime contractor on hundreds of federal procurement actions focused on vehicular seating, body parts, and modification kits for the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Army. The company competes predominantly under set-asides—HUBZone sole source, HUBZone standard, and total small business designations recur across its recent award footprint—though it also wins full-and-open procurements. Stephan Wood Products is a for-profit manufacturer structured as a corporate entity, classified under NAICS codes 336360 (Motor Vehicle Seating and Interior Trim Manufacturing) and 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), with a concentration of work in PSC 2540 (Vehicular Furniture and Accessories) and 2610 (Vehicular Cab, Body, and Frame Structural Components).

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division, which accounts for 1,151 awards valued at $51.5 million—about 65% of the combined potential value across recent work. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal places an additional 47 awards worth $15.3 million, and the Army Contracting Command – Redstone issues delivery orders for wood sills supporting the Antenna-Mast Group and Patriot programs at Letterkenny Army Depot. Together, DLA Land and Maritime and Army contracting offices represent roughly 85% of recent potential value, signaling deep concentration in military vehicle logistics and sustainment rather than broad agency diversification.

Stephan Wood Products holds a substantial portfolio of single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, each with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to over $10 million. Recent IDIQs include a $10.08 million, five-year total small business set-aside IDIQ (awarded February 23, 2026, through February 22, 2031) for vehicular accessories; several $250,000 one-year contracts for seat frames, vehicular seats, seat back cushions, and seat support components (awarded between April and June 2025); and a $350,000 contract for vehicle body stakes (awarded March 24, 2026). These vehicles structure recurring task-order activity, with the top parent vehicle accounting for 93 task orders worth $1.4 million in combined potential value. Stephan Wood Products typically releases orders through purchase orders and delivery orders under these IDCs at valuations ranging from under $1,000 to above $700,000 per task order.

Concrete representative work spans military vehicle component manufacturing. Recent prime awards include a $697.5 thousand purchase order (February 2025) for 249 troop seat accessories under total small business set-aside; a $467.5 thousand HUBZone sole-source award (December 2025) for 164 vehicle accessory kits; a $369.8 thousand total small business set-aside (March 2025) for 132 troop seat accessories; a $276.4 thousand delivery order (May 2023) for modification kits; and a $148.5 thousand delivery order (May 2023) for troop seat accessories. The company also supplies vehicular seats, seat frames, seat back cushions, vehicle body stakes, wooden sills, vehicle side racks, trim vanes, backrests, bumpers, and related wood-composite assemblies across hundreds of smaller task orders.

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year, with 75 awards in 2022, declining to 57 in 2023 and 56 in 2024, then rebounding to 70 in 2025. Nine awards appear in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 1,761 recent prime and sub awards (sourced back to 1980) totals $88.5 million, of which $66.2 million (75%) has been obligated. Place of performance is consistently Grayling, Michigan, with products delivered to Defense Logistics Agency distribution centers throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. In its subcontractor role, Stephan Wood Products provides plastics and composite components to Oshkosh Defense LLC for military vehicle production and modification efforts under awards from October 2025 and July 2025. The company's HUBZone certification and manufacturing specialization in precision wood and composite seating and structural components for military vehicles position it as a recurring supplier within the Defense Logistics Agency's military vehicle sustainment and logistics supply chain.
