Tom Bower

Tom Bower, operating as TS Teknadyne, manufactures precision-engineered components and assemblies for the Defense Logistics Agency as a sole proprietorship small business based in Cottonwood, Idaho, competing entirely on full-and-open purchase orders and delivery orders with no set-aside posture despite holding four active Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The vendor has received 468 prime federal contract awards since 2012, with combined potential value of $4.7 million and combined obligated dollars of $2.4 million across active and completed work.

TS Teknadyne's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. The top three DLA divisions account for 100% of recent awards: DLA Aviation (237 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (128 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (96 awards, $561 thousand combined potential value). This concentration reflects TS Teknadyne's singular role as a supplier of replacement parts to military logistics operations. The portfolio spans ball and roller bearings (140 awards), aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (83 awards), military vehicle components (64 awards), and miscellaneous vehicular components (76 awards), with National Stock Numbers for bushings, sleeves, bearing sleeves, rail assemblies, adapters, manifolds, and specialized hydraulic and mechanical parts.

TS Teknadyne holds four active IDCs with DLA divisions, each valued at $250,000: an April 2025 single-award Total Small Business contract for bearing sleeves and bushings (DLA Aviation, through April 2030); an October 2024 single-award Total Small Business contract for bushings and sleeves (DLA Aviation, through October 2029, with five delivery orders already placed totaling $23.62 thousand); a March 2024 single-award Total Small Business contract for adapter housing components (DLA Land and Maritime, expired March 2025); and a May 2022 single-award Total Small Business contract for bushings and sleeves (DLA Aviation, expired May 2023). Beyond these core IDCs, TS Teknadyne places work under at least five other smaller DLA Indefinite Delivery Contracts carrying task orders in the five-to-seven range per vehicle.

Award activity has grown from 40 annually in 2022–2023 to 77 in 2024, then declined to 43 in 2025 and 8 in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the typical lumpy profile of military supply contracts. Only four awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $19 thousand, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term; the bulk of TS Teknadyne's active portfolio extends through 2025 and beyond. TS Teknadyne operates entirely as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint, delivering all work from its Cottonwood facility on firm fixed-price terms. The vendor's business model centers on rapid fulfillment of small-dollar mission-critical replacement parts—contract values typically range from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars—through established IDC vehicles, positioning it as a reliable source for DLA's continuous replenishment needs across military aviation and vehicle maintenance systems.
