U.s. Rubber Tech, Inc.

U.s. Rubber Tech, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in South San Francisco, California, supplies rubber and elastomer components—hoses, fittings, couplings, adapters, clamps, and related parts—to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a series of small-business-set-aside purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs). The company operates entirely in the prime role (100% of recent awards) and competes under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations, with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic certifications noted in the source.

U.s. Rubber Tech's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 277 of 302 awards (99% of the footprint) and $3.3 million of the $3.5 million combined potential value. Two secondary DLA divisions—DLA Aviation (2 awards, $81 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (4 awards, $2 thousand)—round out a 99%-coverage customer set. A single Navy contract with Naval Sea Systems Command ($567) represents the only non-DLA customer in the recent award history.

The capability portfolio centers on elastomer and metal components for military land and maritime logistics. Representative work includes a $40 thousand 810-unit purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for ELASTOLOCK AS-1 6OZ sealing compound (July 2024), a $36 thousand total small business set-aside for nonmetallic hoses (December 2023), a $22 thousand fitting kit delivery (April 2022), $14 thousand for tube-pipe fitting kits (February 2024), and recurring sub-$1 thousand purchase orders for individual coupling halves, hose clamps, adapters, elbows, bushings, and nozzles. The source notes U.s. Rubber Tech holds three active IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a $250 thousand ceiling and reserved for small businesses, to supply hose clamps, quick disconnect plugs, and dust plugs. Work is performed in South San Francisco.

U.s. Rubber Tech's NAICS profile is split across metal and rubber fabrication: 89 awards under All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, 74 under Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing, and 30 under Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing. The corresponding PSC split reflects the product mix: 144 awards under Hose and Flexible Tubing and 125 under Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubing, and Railing Fittings.

Activity has been irregular: 12 awards in 2022, dropping to 8 in 2023, rebounding to 18 in 2024, then decelerating to 2 in 2025 and 3 in 2026. The combined potential value stands at $3.5 million with $3 million obligated (86% of potential). U.s. Rubber Tech has no subcontract footprint in the source data and does not hold seats on government-wide or agency-wide vehicles; its transactional presence consists of DLA IDCs and accompanying purchase orders and delivery orders issued against those IDCs.
