Taber Acquisition Corp.

Taber Acquisition Corp., doing business as Taber Industries, manufactures pressure transducers, transmitters, and precision measurement instrumentation for aerospace and defense programs, operating as a prime contractor on 92% of recent federal awards (210 prime awards) with concentration in small-business set-aside and full-and-open Defense Logistics Agency purchase orders. The North Tonawanda, New York–based for-profit manufacturer has maintained federal registration since 2002 and competes across small-business set-asides and unrestricted procurements, with no recurrent SBA program designation across the prime footprint.

Taber's federal footprint centers on pressure measurement devices delivered through routine purchase orders to Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and NASA field centers. Recent representative work includes a $36,680 DLA Aviation purchase order for eight pressure transmitters (March 2025), a $24,120 small-business set-aside order for a pressure transmitter from DLA Aviation (May 2025), a $181,430 small-business set-aside contract with NASA Shared Services Center for EUS Green Run instrumentation (February 2022), and multiple sub-$15,000 transducer and transmitter orders from DLA Aviation throughout 2023–2025. The company maintains a long-standing subcontractor relationship with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on ISS Commercial Resupply Services and NextStep programs, with recent sub-awards dated February, September, October, and December 2025 focused on pressure transducers. Taber also subcontracts to Lockheed Martin on weapon-system development and high-pressure transducer work (July 2024, February 2024), to The Boeing Company on Wideband Global Satcom Space Vehicle programs (June 2024), and to Bechtel National on NASA Space Launch System Mobile Launcher 2 construction (July 2021).

Customer concentration is dominated by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which accounts for 79 of 151 tracked awards (66% coverage) and $2.2 million of combined potential value across the prime portfolio. NASA Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers, NASA Goddard Space Center, and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command round out the top five, with 74% of combined potential-value concentration across five customer organizations. DLA Aviation's dollar concentration ($2.2 million) aligns with its volume leadership; NASA Goddard Space Center, despite only four tracked awards, carries $1.9 million in combined potential value, signaling larger individual instruments or recurring multi-year arrangements. Taber places work under DLA indefinite-delivery contracts SPE4A614D0275 (11 task orders, $377 thousand combined potential value) and SP044002D0207 (7 task orders, $639 thousand combined potential value).

Activity shows cyclical volume with three awards each in 2022 and 2023, twelve in 2024, and ten in 2025, reflecting the episodic nature of purchase-order-based supply chains. Combined potential value across 229 awards (prime and sub) stands at $7.8 million against $14.3 million in obligations, indicating that invoiced spend exceeds contract ceilings—typical for recurring supply agreements where actual delivery quantities exceed initial estimates. Taber's NAICS concentration spans automatic environmental control manufacturing (63 awards), other measuring and controlling devices (40 awards), and industrial process variable instrumentation (38 awards), while PSC 6650 (Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments) dominates with 128 awards. The subcontractor footprint (8% of awards) emphasizes pressure transducers for space vehicle qualification and weapons testing rather than full systems integration, positioning Taber as a component supplier rather than a systems integrator within the broader defense-industrial supply chain.

Taber Industries' three divisions produce (1) Pressure Transducers for government and the Aerospace Industry, (2) Physical Test Instruments for the materials & coatings industry, (3) Kenco Power Presses (punching/forming) for the Fabrication Industry.
