United Titanium, LLC

United Titanium, LLC, a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Wooster, Ohio, supplies specialty titanium fasteners, hardware, and precision components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation, though the company has also won total small business set-aside awards.

The company's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and naval operations. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) dominates by potential value, accounting for $31.1 million across 79 awards, while the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation leads by award count with 178 orders valued at $560 thousand combined; DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support Hardware, and DLA Aviation collectively represent 94% of all awards. This concentration reflects United Titanium's role as a recurring supplier of common hardware to DoD distribution depots rather than a prime on large systems programs. Recent representative work includes a $30 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with NAVSEA for specialty metal products (ER/E71 titanium fasteners) awarded March 16, 2026, running through March 2031; a $26,145.90 total small business set-aside purchase order from NAVSEA for sheet plate awarded July 23, 2025; machine bolts, socket head cap screws, protective plugs, flat washers, tapered spacers, and related hardware items under recurring DLA purchase orders ranging from $280 to $16,198 per transaction.

United Titanium's core NAICS footprint centers on bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (249 awards) and hardware manufacturing (86 awards), with PSC codes dominated by screws (99 awards), bolts (80 awards), nuts and washers (77 awards), and commercial hardware (57 awards). The company holds multiple single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime for protective plugs and flat washers, each valued at $250,000 with estimated order frequencies of four to six per year. Activity has grown significantly year over year—32 awards in 2022 to 81 in 2025—with 14 awards so far in 2026. Combined potential value across all 394 awards is $33.4 million, though only $3.3 million has been obligated to date, reflecting the transactional nature of purchase orders and delivery orders against DLA and NAVSEA supply contracts.

In its subcontractor role, United Titanium delivers titanium flight parts and machining services to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC on the Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission under the NASA Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support (ARDES) II contract; pressure sensors and engineering support for towed systems to Leidos across nine globally distributed intermediate maintenance activity facilities; and titanium fasteners including socket head cap screws to Lockheed Martin on GPS Follow-on production. Place of performance is Wooster, Ohio for manufacturing, with subordinate delivery to DLA depots, NAVSEA facilities (including Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Indian Head, Maryland), and NASA/DoD locations as specified in individual orders.

United Titanium operates without characteristic set-aside designations in its prime portfolio—the vast majority of awards carry no set-aside, with occasional total small business set-aside awards from NAVSEA and DLA. The company's veteran-owned status is noted across all award descriptions but does not anchor a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) business strategy; instead, United Titanium competes on capability and cost as a reliable domestic manufacturer of precision titanium hardware essential to military readiness and logistics operations.
