Unlimited Manufacturing Service, Inc.

Unlimited Manufacturing Service, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Lowell, Massachusetts, supplies precision metal parts and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation on the majority of awards.

The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation designated as a woman-owned small business and woman-owned business. Its product portfolio centers on fabricated metal components for military logistics and maintenance — coupling assemblies, trailer clasps, pipe caps, manual control levers, firing lanyards, insulating bricks, refractory bricks, bearing components, and specialty hardware kits. Recent representative work includes a $24,543 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment for trailer clasps (awarded April 2026, completing July 2026); a $23,564 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment for refractory bricks (July 2024); a $21,160 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for manual control levers (April 2024); and a $45,654 woman-owned small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for buckles (September 2023). The company also holds single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation (ceiling $250,000, for coupling assembly parts through July 2026) and DLA Land and Maritime (ceiling $250,000, for bore brush thong through May 2023).

Customer concentration is tightly held within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. DLA Land and Maritime leads by award count (184 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), while DLA Aviation leads by potential value (148 awards, $1.7 million), together representing the bulk of Unlimited Manufacturing's portfolio. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (68 awards, $838 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Hardware (28 awards, $155 thousand) account for the remainder of DLA business. The company has executed three small awards with Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal ($42 thousand combined value). This concentration pattern holds consistent across both award-count and potential-value rankings — the top five DLA subdivisions cover 99% and 96% of awards and combined potential value respectively.

The company holds positions on multiple DLA indefinite delivery contracts functioning as parent vehicles for task orders. Five named IDCs carry the largest order volumes: SPE4A614D5787 (12 task orders, $18 thousand), SPE4A619D5787 (8 task orders, $11 thousand), SPM7L413D5A71 (7 task orders, $61 thousand), SPE4A721D5668 (6 task orders, $40 thousand), and SPE4A614D7148 (1 task order, $652). These vehicles support routine supply of metal fittings, pipe components, refractories, and aircraft parts to DLA divisions.

Activity declined materially in 2025–2026 relative to prior years. The company received 13 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, and 16 in 2024, but only 3 awards in 2025 and 3 through April 2026. Combined potential value across 437 awards stands at $4.1 million with $2.5 million obligated (61% realization rate). The vendor competes full-and-open on most awards; a subset of recent purchase orders carry woman-owned small business or total small business set-aside designations, but set-asides are not the dominant posture. Unlimited Manufacturing operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal awards with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
