Trelleborg Sealing Solutions US, Inc.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions US, Inc., doing business as Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Fort Wayne, is a foreign-owned manufacturer of engineered polymer sealing components that operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) to the Defense Logistics Agency and related Department of Defense customers, competing full-and-open with no set-aside posture across its footprint.

The company manufactures concrete sealing and bearing products: O-rings, gaskets, piston rings, wiper rings, packing assemblies, preformed packing, metal seal rings, plain seals, nonmetallic seals, bearing sleeves, excluder assemblies, spacer rings, seal assemblies, and related polymer-based fasteners and components for military vehicle, aircraft, and shipboard systems maintenance and repair. The Fort Wayne, Indiana facility serves as the primary production hub. Trelleborg's capability portfolio is entirely grounded in the Defense Logistics Agency's consumable parts procurement across Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions, with representative work including a $111,469.60 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (April 2026) for 10,305 packing assembly units under firm fixed price; a $1,770,120 delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 2025) for inflatable seals with a completion date of December 31, 2028; and a $86,505.43 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2024) for elevation hub seals and rubber special shaped section seals for the MK-99 Fire Control System.

Customer concentration is extreme and focused on a single agency tier. The top five customer entities account for 79% of awards by count; by potential value, the top five account for 91% of combined dollars. DLA Aviation anchors the portfolio with 343 awards carrying $96.9 million in combined potential value—over half of all dollars. DLA Land and Maritime holds 453 awards (by count the largest single customer) but carries only $13.9 million in combined potential value, reflecting the smaller per-order magnitude of land and maritime spare-parts procurement. Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command placed 23 awards valued at $25.3 million. DLA Troop Support Hardware (330 awards, $12.3 million) and Naval Supply Systems Command (89 awards, $9.1 million) round out the active customer set. This concentration signals heavy dependence on DLA Aviation's sustainment budget.

Trelleborg sits on a deep bench of Defense Logistics Agency indefinite-delivery contracts. The top parent vehicle by order count is IDC SPE5EY18D0547 with 321 task orders and $1.2 million combined potential value; other high-volume IDVs include SPE5EY14D0532 (54 task orders, $247 thousand), SPE5EY19D0550 (36 task orders, $164 thousand), and several others. These are single-award automated IDIQ vehicles with $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings, each covering specific commodity lines (plain encased seals, packing assemblies, piston ring sets, wiper rings, preformed packing, retainer packing, nonmetallic seals, and related items). Most carry one-year performance periods or until ceiling is reached, with guaranteed minimum quantities, estimated 3–12 orders per year, and 76–115-day delivery timelines to continental and overseas Defense Logistics Agency depots. Trelleborg was awarded more than twenty single-award IDIQs between February 2026 and May 2026 alone, indicating active contract refresh cycles.

Activity has contracted sharply. The five-year trajectory shows 143 awards in 2022, declining to 46 in 2024, then recovering to 118 in 2025 and 54 in 2026 (year-to-date through June). The combined potential value across the entire 1,886-award footprint is $172.8 million, with only $57.9 million (33%) obligated, suggesting substantial backlog and ceiling availability. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 6 awards valued at $142 thousand total reach ultimate completion inside that window, indicating the bulk of the Trelleborg-DLA relationship sits on long-term IDC vehicles with staggered expiration dates extending to 2027–2031.

Trelleborg subcontracts with major aerospace-defense primes as a component supplier, not a systems integrator. Recent subs include The Boeing Company (F-15EX Long-Lead Items Interiors, PBL Material Boeing Interiors—five awards from February to June 2025), Moog Military Aircraft (Actuator Electro-Mechanical seals for V-22, two awards), Laurel Technologies Partnership (Consoles, Displays, and Peripheral Equipment gaskets, two awards from February and May 2025), and prior relationships with Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, and L3 Technologies as named in award summaries. The subcontract footprint is negligible by dollar magnitude (1% of total awards) and reflects Trelleborg's role supplying OEM-qualified seals and gaskets to defense primes rather than as a systems partner.

Trelleborg competes in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside certifications recorded. All awards in the source carry "No Set-Aside Used" designation. The company's NAICS footprint is dominated by 339991 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing)—1,098 of 1,886 awards—with secondary codes for aircraft parts, bearings, fasteners, and aircraft manufacturing reflecting the breadth of sealing applications across military logistics. PSC concentration shows 1,150 awards in packing and gasket materials, 95 in plain bearings, and 94 in aircraft hydraulic and de-icing system components.

The corporate structure lists Trelleborg Sealing Solutions US, Inc. as the parent with named subsidiaries including Pawling Engineered Products LLC and CRC Distribution Inc., both foreign-owned manufacturers, suggesting vertical integration of sealing and distribution capabilities across the Trelleborg group. The company is foreign-owned, registered as a for-profit organization, and carries no minority, disadvantaged, veteran, or women-owned business designations.
