Troy Tube & Manufacturing Co

Troy Tube & Manufacturing Co, a veteran-owned small business based in Chesterfield, Michigan (with operations in New Baltimore, Michigan), manufactures precision metal tube assemblies, bent metallic tubes, and fabricated metal components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 98% of its awards and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The company does not compete under 8(a) or other set-aside categories on most awards—most purchase orders carry no set-aside designation, though some smaller awards ($5,000–$40,000 range) are designated as Total Small Business set-asides or single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts reserved for small businesses.

Troy Tube's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA Land and Maritime alone accounts for 3,210 awards worth $16.8 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 83% of the top-customer concentration coverage. DLA Aviation has issued 160 awards valued at $1 million, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment has awarded 103 contracts worth $550 thousand. The company's award portfolio spans 16 distinct federal agencies, but DLA dominates by an overwhelming margin—94% of all awards derive from DLA's five organizational components. Real obligated spend reached $25.6 million across the portfolio, representing 76% of combined potential value, indicating strong execution and cash flow realization.

Troy Tube holds a steady position on two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and set aside for small businesses. These contracts, awarded in July 2025 and covering bent metallic tubes and related fabricated pipe components under NAICS 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), enable DLA to issue delivery orders on an as-needed basis with typical fulfillment within 63 days. Beyond these core IDCs, the company operates against five additional DLA IDVs—SPM75004D7896 (56 task orders, $674 thousand combined value), SPM7MX07D7045 (51 task orders, $396 thousand), and three others—indicating reliance on DLA's broader contracting apparatus for routine component procurement.

Prime contract awards typically range from $800 to $50,000 in value, with larger outliers in the $34,000–$66,000 range for first-article testing contracts. Recent activity shows sustained volume: 209 awards in 2025 and 59 year-to-date in 2026 (through mid-April). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months includes 26 awards worth $453 thousand combined potential value—a manageable but not insignificant pipeline for renewal. The company's core competency aligns precisely with DLA's primary PSC codes: Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing (2,824 awards in the portfolio), Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (135 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (123 awards).

In its subcontractor role, Troy Tube supplies material to BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. across multiple military programs, including Bradley A4 follow-on production (M2A4 and M7A4 vehicles), Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) early-order material and facility-expansion support for Ukraine deliveries, and Self-Propelled Howitzer System vehicle sets. Sub-awards date from May 2025 forward and carry material-supply descriptions, reflecting Troy Tube's role as a component supplier in the defense industrial base rather than a systems integrator. General Dynamics Land Systems and Raytheon Company are also named as prime contractors in award narratives, though no discrete sub-award records for those relationships appear in the source. The vendor's Subchapter S corporate structure and veteran-owned designation position it for small-business preference on set-aside vehicles, but DLA's historical procurement pattern favors full-and-open competition for routine component buys, limiting the company's ability to leverage its SBA status.
