Mill Rose Co

Mill Rose Co, operating as The Mill Rose Company Division, manufactures cleaning brushes and brush assemblies for military maintenance operations as a small business prime contractor exclusively for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations on individual purchase orders, though select awards carry total small business set-aside status.

Mill Rose Co is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Mentor, Ohio, classified under primary NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and PSC 10 (Weapons). The vendor's federal footprint spans 1,825 awards dating to 1982, with combined potential value of $7.6 million against $13.8 million in obligated dollars, indicating mature order-and-fulfill cycles rather than forward-priced IDIQs. Recent activity holds flat—seven awards in 2026 (through April), four in 2025, six in 2024—with no growth trajectory but consistent DLA supply-chain engagement.

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 394 awards and $7.4 million of the $7.6 million combined potential value (98% of all potential dollars), with secondary customers (Air Force Materiel Command, Marine Corps, Army) providing operational volume but negligible dollar magnitude. This dependency reflects Mill Rose Co's role as a specialized small-item producer executing high-frequency, low-dollar purchase orders from a single procurement office rather than a platform vendor serving multiple agencies.

Mill Rose Co operates under two active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, both awarded February 2026 and running through early 2027, each with $350,000 ceilings and guaranteed minimum quantities (164 units annually on one, 74 units on the other). The vendor also sits on five parent vehicles including BPA GS07FQMILL, which accounts for 1,088 task orders carrying negligible combined potential value ($51), and three additional IDIQs (SPM75005D7604, SPM7LX10D7069, SPM75004D7760) supporting $804 thousand, $672 thousand, and $229 thousand respectively. Recent representative awards include a $26.8 thousand delivery order for small cleaning brushes (April 2026), a $69.1 thousand purchase order for bore brush assemblies under total small business set-aside (July 2024), and a $50.2 thousand purchase order for small arms cleaning brushes under total small business set-aside (April 2025). Four awards (combined potential value $79 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure given the recurring IDC structure and DLA's established ordering behavior.

Mill Rose Co's capability portfolio centers on production, packaging, and delivery of specialized military-maintenance brushes—small cleaning brushes, artillery cleaning brushes, bore brush assemblies—with place of performance at the contractor's Mentor, Ohio facility and delivery to DLA depots and consolidation points across CONUS and overseas locations. The vendor operates no subcontracting footprint (100% prime, 0% sub); performance is self-contained. The extreme concentration in DLA Land and Maritime procurement, combined with the high frequency and small-order-size pattern evident in 1,088 task orders against a single $51-value BPA, positions Mill Rose Co as a specialized component of DLA's just-in-time inventory replenishment for ordnance-maintenance supplies rather than a diversified federal contractor.
