Tate Andale, LLC

Tate Andale, LLC, a small business manufacturer based in Arbutus, Maryland, supplies precision-engineered industrial components—valves, strainers, gaskets, O-rings, and related hardware—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive purchase orders, with no set-aside posture across its recent prime footprint. The firm operates across three active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (one with DLA Aviation for anode retaining plugs, two with DLA Land and Maritime for O-rings and preformed packing, each valued at $250 thousand to $350 thousand), and performs subcontract work for Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on naval vessel construction and overhaul programs.

Tate Andale's customer concentration sits almost entirely with defense logistics and maritime procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 2,066 awards (68% of recent awards by count) and $35.9 million in combined potential value—far outpacing other customers. Naval Supply Systems Command places $6.1 million across 56 awards; Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for $3.7 million across 168 awards; and the U.S. Coast Guard and DLA Aviation each carry roughly $1.4 million. Together, the top five customers cover 86% of combined potential value and 89% of award count, with DLA Land and Maritime's dominance reflecting Tate Andale's role as a pre-qualified supplier for routine component procurement to defense distribution centers worldwide.

Tate Andale's product portfolio centers on industrial valve manufacturing (674 awards in NAICS 332911) and gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing (393 awards in NAICS 326291), spanning float valves, vent valves, check valves, strainer elements, sediment strainers, disk components, valve seats, stems, gaskets, O-rings, and specialty assemblies. Representative recent work includes a $500 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for sediment strainers (December 2025), a $268.3 thousand order for sediment strainers (April 2026), a $224.6 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command order for simplex and self-cleaning strainers (August 2025), and a $164.8 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command order for engineering services and design of stainless steel strainer baskets (August 2025). The vendor also supplies O-rings, anode retaining plugs, and preformed packing materials through standing IDC vehicles, drawing firm fixed-price delivery orders throughout the year.

Activity has declined modestly but remains material: 250 awards in 2022 fell to 202 in 2025, with 105 awards to date in 2026. Seventeen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $697 thousand—a modest recompete exposure reflective of the vendor's high volume of smaller purchase orders rather than large multi-year contracts. On the subcontract side, Tate Andale supplies valves, strainers, gaskets, O-rings, and related components to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on CVN-class aircraft carrier overhaul projects (CVN-75 refueling and complex overhaul, CVN-80 new construction), with sub awards spanning design and fabrication of specialty valve subassemblies, duplex strainer components, fasteners, and related hardware for naval propulsion and fluid-handling systems. Work is performed at Tate Andale's Halethorpe, Maryland facility; subcontract work for major naval shipbuilders suggests the vendor also serves as a sub to Electric Boat Corporation and Vigor Marine LLC based on historical references in award summaries, though recent sub data is anchored to Huntington Ingalls.

Tate Andale competes full-and-open across DLA and Navy procurement channels, with no reliance on small business set-asides for its prime footprint despite its small business designation. The vendor's sales are driven by routine component replenishment and naval vessel construction and maintenance pipelines managed through DLA Land and Maritime and Naval Sea Systems Command, positioning it as a validated, pre-qualified supplier to a stable customer base with recurring procurement needs for specialized maritime hardware.
