U D T, Inc.

U D T, Inc., a Panama City, Florida-based small business manufacturer, supplies precision-machined hardware components—nuts, bolts, sleeves, linear actuator heads, and specialized machined parts—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 99% of its recent awards, competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside categories despite small business designation.

U D T, Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with over 50 years of operating history and registered in SAM.gov since 2001. The company's core capability portfolio centers on precision machining, welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, and pressure testing of military hardware components. Recent prime work is heavily concentrated in DLA supply-chain roles: a $676,742 purchase order from DLA Aviation for 38 units of linear actuator heads (NSN 1650006927492) awarded February 6, 2026, with delivery to DLA Distribution Depot Hill by March 2, 2027, under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $414,960 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation for linear actuator heads awarded June 16, 2025; a $77,720 order from DLA Aviation for 1,072 nut-sleeve components (NSN 5310012035237) awarded September 22, 2025; and a $147,012.80 purchase order from DLA Aviation for linear actuator heads set aside for small business, awarded June 13, 2024. The vendor also delivers specialized manufacturing to Naval Sea Systems Command—a $12,767.16 purchase order for an aft wave deflector kit awarded January 24, 2024.

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects a data anomaly: Department of Navy Naval Sea Systems Command dominates the award count at 66 awards representing $72.55 billion combined potential value, but nearly all of that dollar value derives from a single extremely high-ceiling contract. DLA Aviation (35 awards, $4 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (58 awards, $1.8 million), and other DLA components follow at much lower dollar scales. This concentration pattern—high-volume small orders from DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support Hardware, with the Navy NAVSEA outlier inflating overall potential value—reflects U D T, Inc.'s actual operating model: frequent small purchase orders and delivery orders against standing indefinite delivery contracts rather than large single procurements. U D T, Inc. holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (awarded April 11, 2022, with $250,000 ceiling) for nutsleeve supply, through which it has received multiple delivery orders ranging from $14,526.72 to $33,523.20. Recent awards also flow against other DLA IDCs identified by contract number (SPE5EM20D60BY with 9 task orders for $201 thousand combined value; SPE4A622D60QM with 4 task orders for $86 thousand; SPE4A715D0307 with 2 task orders for $497 thousand).

The vendor's NAICS concentration aligns with its hardware manufacturing footprint: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (77 awards), Ship Building and Repairing (30 awards), and Machine Shops (22 awards) dominate the category breakdown. PSC concentration follows: Nuts and Washers (41 awards), Bolts (28 awards), and Hardware, Commercial (20 awards) are the leading procurement codes. Activity has declined from 17 awards in 2021 to 1 award in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting either a contraction in DLA ordering velocity or a lag in source data capture. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $677 thousand), presenting minimal recompete exposure. U D T, Inc. subcontracts rarely (2 awards, 1% of total), delivering machined parts and manufacturing services to HII Mission Technologies Corp on a Naval Surface Warfare Center special projects contract (May 20, 2024) and to Booz Allen Hamilton on maritime mission systems support involving CNC milling, water-jet work, welding, and pressure testing (October 15, 2021).
