United Rotary Brush Corporation

United Rotary Brush Corporation, a small business manufacturer based in Olathe, Kansas, supplies broom, brush, and mop components for military airfield and facility maintenance as a prime contractor exclusively — 168 awards across 35 years with no subcontract footprint. The company competes entirely on full-and-open and total small business set-aside terms with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations; 14 of its 17 most recent awards (2021–2026) carry total small business set-aside language.

United Rotary Brush manufactures a narrow, specialized product range: broom cassettes (single-core and split-core), poly and wire cassette refills, snow broom cores and cartridges, broom bristle units, and runway sweeping equipment components. The company's capability framing is product-driven rather than service-based — it sells off-the-shelf and made-to-order brush and broom assemblies compatible with military runway-maintenance equipment, particularly M-B Companies and Oshkosh models. Recent representative prime work includes a $110,862 purchase order from the Air Force in November 2024 for 18-foot single and split-core broom cassettes to Fairchild Air Force Base; a $98,400 purchase order in December 2025 for airport runway cassettes to Fairchild AFB; a $69,135 purchase order from Air Combat Command in August 2024 for rotary broom bristle cassette refills to Offutt AFB; and a $52,834 delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command in April 2026 under its single-award IDC.

Customer concentration is extreme and immobile. The Department of the Air Force (38 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), Air Force Materiel Command (17 awards, $1.6 million), and Air National Guard (31 awards, $613 thousand) account for 73% of all awards and 79% of combined potential value. All other federal customers — Defense Logistics Agency, Army National Guard, and subordinate customer elements — carry minimal award counts and dollars. Within the Air Force, work distributes across Air Materiel Command, Air Combat Command, and Air Mobility Command, but the vendor's reliance on Air Force directorates is near-total.

United Rotary Brush holds three named parent vehicles, all single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Air Force Materiel Command: IDC FA860116D0005 (7 delivery orders, $192 thousand combined potential value) covering broom, brush, and mop manufacturing, valued at $650,800 and expiring May 31, 2026; IDC FA860121D0016 (5 delivery orders, $200 thousand) covering similar scope; and IDC SPM8E010D5B16 (1 delivery order, $20 thousand). No vehicle seats on GSA GWACs, NASA SEWP, or agency-wide IDIQs. The lead IDC with AFMC, which anchors the business and is the vendor's primary revenue instrument, reaches ultimate completion in roughly twelve weeks — May 31, 2026 — and represents a material recompete cliff if not renewed or extended.

Activity has flattened significantly in the past three years (four awards in 2024, five in 2025, two in 2026 year-to-date) after a stronger early 2020s run. Combined potential value across all 168 awards since 1991 stands at $7.1 million, though combined obligated dollars total $8 million (113% of potential value), indicating invoicing beyond ceiling or scope-change activity. The vendor's footprint is restricted to Air Force facilities (primarily Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio, Fairchild AFB in Washington, Selfridge ANG in Michigan, Offutt AFB in Nebraska, and Aurora ANG in Colorado). A named subsidiary, United Rotary Brush Inc., exists in the corporate structure but carries no distinct award segregation in the source data.
