U.s. Hardware Supply, Inc.

U.S. Hardware Supply Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies based in Winter Park and Aloma, Florida, operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Army, delivering specialized hardware components, parts kits, filters, seals, and vehicle maintenance supplies essential to military logistics operations domestically and overseas.

The vendor competes predominantly through small business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Vehicle portfolio. Across recent awards, approximately 60 percent carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, with the remainder awarded through open competition. U.S. Hardware Supply has been a registered federal contractor since 2002 and holds no venture-capital backing or external ownership designations beyond its small business status.

U.S. Hardware Supply's customer concentration sits almost entirely with DLA. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 633 awards (54 percent of the 1,176 total prime awards) and $351.8 million in combined potential value—71 percent of the vendor's $494.3 million total portfolio. The broader DLA entity (including Aviation, Troop Support Hardware, and unspecified divisions) represents 91 percent of all awards and 78 percent of potential value. Secondary customers—the Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ($18.2 million across 11 awards) and the Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal ($5.8 million across 44 awards)—represent residual volume. This concentration reflects DLA Land and Maritime's reliance on U.S. Hardware Supply as a dedicated supplier of critical MRO components rather than a diversified government contractor.

U.S. Hardware Supply holds an extensive portfolio of Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts, all single-award and predominantly small-business set-asides. Named vehicles include a $78.77 million IDV for hull semi-trailer parts kits (awarded April 2025, which has already generated four delivery orders totaling $11.6 million), a $9.99 million IDV for fluid pressure filter parts kits (awarded September 2025), a $5.68 million IDV for modification kits and air filter kits (awarded October 2025), a $3.12 million IDV for vehicle maintenance kits with DLA Aviation (awarded November 2025), and multiple $250,000 single-award vehicles covering plain seals, plain encased seals, diesel engine parts kits, vehicle maintenance kits, filter elements, desiccant kits, and cooling system pumps. The combined potential value across the IDV portfolio exceeds $100 million. Task orders under these vehicles are structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, with delivery locations spanning continental U.S. and overseas DLA depots.

Activity has been substantial and consistent. The vendor received 49 awards in 2022, ramping to 102 in 2023, before moderating to 93 in 2024 and 72 in 2025 (with only four awards recorded in 2026 through March). Nine awards with combined potential value of $6.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window—primarily related to smaller $250,000 single-award vehicles approaching their annual expiration dates.

U.S. Hardware Supply operates as a 100 percent prime contractor with no identified subcontracting footprint in the source data. The vendor manufactures rather than resells; represented work includes hull semi-trailer parts kits, diesel engine components, fluid and air filter elements, specialized seals (plain, plain encased, and nonmetallic), vehicle maintenance kits, modification kits for armored vehicles, battery accessory kits, smoke blocking curtains, gaskets, and filter bodies—all National Stock Number–coded components essential to Department of Defense vehicle and equipment maintenance across military depots and installations worldwide.

The NAICS profile reflects manufacturing breadth: All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (119 awards), Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (113 awards), and Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (70 awards) rank highest. Product Service Code concentration mirrors this—Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (187 awards), Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (114 awards), and Centrifugals, Separators, and Pressure and Vacuum Filters (107 awards) dominate. This diversity within a single customer relationship reflects DLA Land and Maritime's use of U.S. Hardware Supply as a multi-category MRO supplier rather than a single-product vendor.

The vendor has obligated $254.6 million against its $494.3 million combined potential value (52 percent obligation rate), indicating consistent drawdown of IDV authority and active utilization of contract vehicles. With a registered history dating to 2002 and demonstrated capacity to manage multiple concurrent delivery orders against a diversified parts portfolio, U.S. Hardware Supply functions as a stable, small-business-designated component of DLA's supply chain infrastructure, primarily filling maintenance and repair requirements for ground and maritime equipment across the defense logistics network.
