E.a. Patten Co LLC

E.a. Patten Co LLC, a Manchester, Connecticut-based manufacturer of metal tube assemblies, fittings, and manifolds serving the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

E.a. Patten competes entirely in unrestricted, full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint. The vendor's federal customer base concentrates heavily on Defense Logistics Agency branches. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 746 awards and $22.7 million in combined potential value, while DLA Aviation holds 126 awards valued at $7.4 million; these two DLA subdivisions represent 89% of recent awards and 95% of combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force and Air Force Materiel Command together account for approximately 156 awards and $2.8 million. All other customer agencies represent minimal activity. E.a. Patten's work portfolio centers on firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for standardized metal tubing components, with representative recent awards including a $85,320 tube assembly bearing order from DLA Land and Maritime (July 2026), a $135,932 tube and fittings delivery from DLA Land and Maritime (June 2025), and a $157,758 contractor first-article test for metal tube assemblies from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2023).

E.a. Patten holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at $249,999.99. The older IDC, awarded August 2022 and expiring August 2027, procures metal tube assemblies under Federal Supply Class 4610090797; four task orders executed under this vehicle total approximately $117,331. A second single-award IDC, awarded July 2024 and expiring July 2029, procures metal tube assemblies (Federal Supply Class 4610113047) under the same firm-fixed-price delivery order structure. Both vehicles enable DLA Aviation to issue multiple task orders without repeated full competitions. Beyond these IDCs, E.a. Patten places work under five additional government-wide or agency-level indefinite delivery vehicles, including SPE4A517D0030 (12 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), SPM74004D7853 (12 task orders, $55 thousand), and three additional IDCs with six or fewer task orders each.

Activity declined year over year — 31 awards in 2022 down to 6 in 2026 — though this reflects the source's snapshot window rather than long-term trajectory; the vendor has received over $3 million in cumulative prime awards from DoD since 2002. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, valued at $85 thousand, minimizing near-term recompete cliff exposure. E.a. Patten's NAICS concentration reflects its specialization: 583 awards under Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (NAICS 332996), 176 under Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (NAICS 331210), and 156 under Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (NAICS 336412). PSC codes reinforce the pattern — 978 awards for Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing (PSC 4730), 96 for Gas Turbines and Jet Engines Aircraft Components (PSC 4720), and 38 for Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication and Railing Fittings (PSC 4740).

As a subcontractor, E.a. Patten delivers metal tube assemblies and related aircraft spare parts to RTX Corporation on engine sustainment, parts-by-the-lot (PBL), and risk-reduction design work. Eighteen sub-awards to RTX since January 2026 include engine control unit risk-reduction design tasks, F119 and F135 engine sustainment work, and initial propulsion spares support. No other prime contractors appear in the subcontract listing, indicating concentration of E.a. Patten's sub work within RTX's defense supply chain.
