Tate Andale, LLC

Tate Andale, LLC, a small business manufacturer of precision-engineered industrial components and hardware based in Halethorpe, Maryland, sells valves, strainers, gaskets, seals, O-rings, and related naval and maritime hardware to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of awards) and subcontractor. The company operates across full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurements, with set-asides appearing on a minority of awards but concentrated in specific product lines and customer channels.

Tate Andale's capability portfolio centers on industrial valve manufacturing, fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing, and gasket and sealing device manufacturing. Representative work includes a $500,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime in December 2025 for sediment strainers (NSN 4730016859280) with delivery to DLA Distribution facility W1A8; a $224,640.50 order from Naval Sea Systems Command in August 2025 for simplex and self-cleaning strainers with completion by June 2026; and a $164,805 engineering services contract from Naval Sea Systems Command in August 2025 for design and fabrication of stainless steel strainer baskets. The company also holds active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime ($250,000 ceiling for O-rings, awarded April 2025) and DLA Aviation ($350,000 ceiling for anode retaining plugs, awarded February 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily tilted toward Defense Logistics Agency components. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates with 2,027 awards worth $35.3 million combined potential value, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (313 awards, $613 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (166 awards, $3.6 million), DLA Aviation (113 awards, $1.4 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (55 awards, $6.1 million). The two rankings align closely on DLA Land and Maritime dominance. When measured by potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command ranks higher than other DLA components, reflecting larger individual order sizes for specialized valve assemblies and regulating flow control components.

Tate Andale's activity trajectory shows volatility: 250 awards in 2022, declining to 177 in 2023, recovering to 219 in 2024, then softening to 202 in 2025. Year-to-date 2026 data (55 awards through mid-April) suggests sustained but moderate pace. Only 25 awards with combined potential value of $1 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating light recompete pressure near-term.

In its subcontractor role, Tate Andale supplies strainer baskets, valve stems, valve seats, gaskets, packing materials, and related components to Huntington Ingalls Inc. on CVN 75 Refueling and Complex Overhaul advance planning and CVN 80 construction work, and to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on DDG 51 destroyer construction. Subcontract work represents less than 2% of the award footprint and runs through major naval shipbuilders rather than systems integrators.

The vendor's industrial components portfolio is narrow and specialized. Top NAICS codes reflect this focus: Industrial Valve Manufacturing (660 awards), Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (596 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (389 awards) account for most activity. Top product service codes align: Valves, Nonpowered (883 awards), Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings (920 awards), and Packing and Gasket Materials (424 awards). The company has been a registered federal contractor since at least April 2002 and has maintained continuous presence in the DLA procurement network for over two decades, indicating validated supplier status and pre-qualified position on multiple DLA depots and distribution channels. Tate Andale's customer set—overwhelmingly composed of DLA Land and Maritime and other Navy supply activities—reflects its core mission as a manufacturer of consumable components and replacement hardware essential to naval vessel operations and military logistics worldwide.
