VAL Rollers Incorporated

VAL Rollers Incorporated, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, manufactures aircraft maintenance parts and components as a prime contractor serving the Department of Defense and civilian aviation customers on an unrestricted (full-and-open) basis, with no SBA set-aside certifications. The company is a for-profit manufacturer specializing in rollers, uplift attachments, adapter doubler rollers, shafts, knobs, and related precision-engineered aviation equipment. VAL Rollers competes predominantly outside set-asides; only three of 223 awards carry "Total Small Business" set-aside designations, while the remainder are competed full-and-open or issued as delivery orders under existing indefinite delivery contracts.

VAL Rollers operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor—223 of 223 awards are prime contracts—with zero subcontract exposure in the source data. The company holds a dominant position with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which accounts for 155 awards (91% of all awards in the source) and $4.5 million of the $4.7 million combined potential value. The concentration is extreme: a single customer and a single commodity line (aircraft maintenance parts under NAICS 336413 and PSC 49-P) drive the entire footprint. Representative recent work includes a $35,724 maintenance roller delivery order (31 March 2025), a $31,960 adapter roller delivery order (31 March 2025), a $24,321 adapter roller purchase order under Total Small Business set-aside (6 January 2026), and a $4,318 knob purchase order from DoD Land and Maritime (23 March 2026). The company also serves the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (four awards, $142 thousand combined potential value), DLA Troop Support, DLA Land and Maritime, and NASA on occasional buys.

VAL Rollers sits on five named indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, anchored by two single-award IDCs: one valued at $698,610 for maintenance rollers and uplift attachments (SPE4A621D0202), and another valued at $512,071 for adapter doubler rollers. The largest IDC (SPE4A621D0202) has generated 20 task orders ($342 thousand combined potential value), followed by SPE4A617D6760 with 19 task orders ($144 thousand) and SPE4A616D0244 with 16 task orders ($252 thousand). These vehicles are the operational foundation of the business; the company issues purchase orders and delivery orders against them rather than competing each task independently.

Activity has declined. The vendor received nine awards in 2022, seven in 2023, eight in 2024, six in 2025, and three through March 2026. Over the same period, the company has invoiced $5.9 million against potential values of $4.7 million, indicating cumulative obligation exceeding ceiling, which is typical for multi-year delivery vehicles where orders accumulate across fiscal years. No recompete cliff is material to the near-term pipeline; the IDCs themselves are the long-term vehicle, not individual task orders with discrete completion dates. VAL Rollers has no named subcontractors in the federal footprint and does not subcontract work on these DLA contracts. The company operates as a direct manufacturer and supplier with no disclosed sub-award relationships.
