Thaker Consulting & Manufacturing Co Corp

Thaker Consulting & Manufacturing Co Corp, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Holbrook, New York, manufactures specialized aviation components and military hardware for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation and Subcontinent Asian (Asian-Indian) American-owned manufacturer operating under primary NAICS codes for wire rope and aircraft parts fabrication.

Thaker's customer footprint is highly concentrated and monolithic. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 87% of all awards (465 of 534 total) and 93% of combined potential value ($5 million of $5.4 million), with the remaining three DLA divisions—Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Hardware—splitting the remainder. This customer concentration is extreme and recurs across every performance period in the source data. The company does not operate as a subcontractor and has no federal grant work; all activity is prime contract supply of manufactured goods to DLA.

Thaker's capability portfolio centers on wire rope assemblies, lanyard assemblies, hinges, insulators, aircraft covers, protective caps, clips, spacer plates, and related structural and electrical components for military aviation and equipment maintenance. Representative work includes a $34.4 thousand purchase order from DLA Aviation for plate insulators (July 2025), a $16.9 thousand order for wire rope assemblies (July 2025), a $18.7 thousand order for lanyards and rack assemblies (May 2025), and a $17.9 thousand order for insulator bushings (November 2025). Order sizes range from sub-thousand-dollar buys to approximately $35 thousand, with most individual purchase orders and delivery orders falling between $1 thousand and $10 thousand. The work is almost entirely firm fixed-price, transactional procurement from DLA's supply chain.

Thaker holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, all designated as single-award, Total Small Business set-asides with ceiling values of $250 thousand each and performance periods extending through 2026–2029. The most recent IDC (awarded May 2024, ceiling $250 thousand through May 2029) covers wire rope assemblies, lanyard assemblies, and tube assemblies for aircraft cowling. An earlier vehicle (awarded July 2023, ceiling $250 thousand through July 2028) covers lanyard assemblies and related products. Two additional IDCs (awarded December 2022 and July 2021, both $250 thousand ceilings) cover wire rope assemblies through December 2027 and July 2026 respectively. These vehicles generate steady-state delivery order traffic; the top parent vehicle generated 15 task orders worth $211 thousand combined potential value.

Activity has grown modestly year over year, from 38 awards in 2022 to 68 in 2025, with 30 awards in the first quarter of 2026. The recompete cliff is modest: 22 awards (combined potential value $85 thousand) are scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months, centered on the July 2026 IDC expiration. Thaker's award portfolio spans back to February 2006, with consistent presence in the DLA supply chain for two decades. The company does not compete under set-aside designations for most individual purchase orders; most awards carry "No Set-Aside Used" designations despite the vendor's minority-owned small disadvantaged business status, indicating competition in full-and-open procurements where qualification as an SDB does not restrict award. However, the underlying IDCs are held under Total Small Business set-asides, which restricts the vehicles themselves to small business eligibility.

Thaker manufactures goods in-house at its Holbrook, New York facility; all contracts specify place of performance as Holbrook or a subordinate location (Lindenhurst). The company is a pure component manufacturer and supplier, with no teaming relationships, prime contractors overhead, or documented subcontract footprint in the source material. Its competitive position rests entirely on manufacturing capability, reliability, and cost posture for transactional, low-to-mid-dollar aviation hardware orders within DLA Aviation's supply network.
