Tailored Systems Inc.

Tailored Systems Inc., doing business as Vibrodyne Division, manufactures specialized aircraft ground support equipment for the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor, with no subcontract work in its federal footprint. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Moraine, Ohio, with a primary manufacturing footprint in Ohio (Kettering and Dayton) and a long-standing track record in defense aerospace components — over two decades of DLA contract awards for aircraft ground shields. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements; recent awards carry no small business set-aside designations, though source material notes prior awards between 2020 and 2023 that were designated Total Small Business set-aside.

Vibrodyne's federal capability is sharply focused on aircraft ground servicing equipment, particularly aircraft ground shields. The vendor's portfolio comprises 73 prime purchase orders dating back to 1984, with recent representative work including a $9,858.64 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA's Construction and Equipment division for aircraft ground shields awarded April 29, 2026 (completion August 27, 2026, performance in Kettering), a $9,749.06 purchase order awarded September 5, 2025 (completion December 29, 2025, performance in Dayton), and a $12,922.96 purchase order awarded June 10, 2025 (completion October 8, 2025). Individual award values cluster consistently between $5,155.68 and $15,044.64. The vendor also produces communications equipment and aircraft launching and engine-related auxiliary components; top NAICS categories include Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (40 awards) and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (7 awards), with the aircraft ground servicing equipment PSC code accounting for 52 of 73 awards.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with defense logistics and supply: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment dominates with 33 awards ($317 thousand combined potential value), followed by DLA Land and Maritime (9 awards, $81 thousand) and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (3 awards, $78 thousand), collectively covering 82% of all awards. The vendor places work under multiple DLA indefinite delivery contracts, including SPM43004D0817 (5 task orders, $42 thousand combined potential value) and SP093504D6B67 (5 task orders). Recent activity remains sparse — one award in 2026, two in 2025, two in 2024 — and combined potential value across all 73 awards totals $481 thousand, though obligated dollars ($1.2 million) exceed potential value, indicating actual delivery has exceeded contract ceilings on a proportion of orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on small-dollar purchase orders with no parent GWAC or government-wide vehicle presence and no subcontract relationships.
