Taj Parts LLC

Taj Parts LLC, a woman-owned and minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Country Club Hills, Illinois, supplies specialized mechanical and industrial components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor manufactures and sources gaskets, packing components, sealing devices, retainer fasteners, and related hardware for military equipment maintenance, with all work performed at its Illinois facility and no identified subcontractors.

Taj Parts LLC has concentrated its federal engagement exclusively with the Defense Logistics Agency since September 2025. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 21 awards ($1.4 million combined potential value) and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division for 4 awards ($43 thousand combined potential value), representing 100% of the vendor's award portfolio across both volume and dollars. This concentration reflects the vendor's positioning as a direct supplier of replacement components to DLA depots throughout the continental United States and outside the continental United States.

The vendor holds four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at either $250 thousand or $350 thousand and each designated as a total small business set-aside with performance periods extending through mid-to-late 2026. The largest IDC (ceiling $350 thousand, awarded November 3, 2025) procures gaskets under National Stock Number 5330013384829 for defense and aerospace equipment, anticipating four task orders annually with guaranteed minimums of 88 units per order. A second IDC (ceiling $350 thousand, awarded October 24, 2025) covers plain encased seals under National Stock Number 5330010602531, with ten anticipated task orders annually and 219 guaranteed units per order. Two additional IDCs (ceilings $250 thousand each, awarded October 15 and October 17, 2025) procure retainer packing components under National Stock Number 5330011174239 with approximately ten orders annually and nine guaranteed units per order. Representative task orders against these vehicles include a $47,125 delivery order for retainer packing (awarded October 23, 2025, under the October 15 IDC) and a $35,525 delivery order for the same component (awarded January 8, 2026, under the October 15 IDC). Individual purchase orders outside the IDC framework include a $57,750 award for retainer packing (December 8, 2025), a $32 thousand award for compressor parts kit (December 10, 2025), and a $18,700 award for seal wedges (March 23, 2026).

Recent activity shows 17 awards in 2025 and 8 awards through March 2026, reflecting rapid ramp following the vendor's SAM registration in July 2025. The vendor's NAICS posture concentrates in Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (10 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (4 awards), and Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (4 awards), with Federal Supply Schedule PSC code 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) characterizing 15 awards. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($19 thousand), suggesting limited immediate recompete pressure on the existing IDC portfolio through mid-to-late 2026. Combined potential value across all 25 awards stands at $1.5 million, with $261 thousand obligated to date.
