W.p.e., Inc.

W.p.e., Inc., doing business as Western Pacific Enterprises, manufactures precision-engineered structural and mechanical components for military aircraft and vehicles as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The company is an SBA-certified woman-owned small business headquartered in West Hills, California, with secondary operations in Canoga Park. Western Pacific Enterprises' recent federal award footprint spans 1,225 awards totaling $18.2 million in combined potential value, with 62% obligated across prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The company's capability portfolio centers on manufacturing discrete aircraft and vehicle components—rod assemblies, connecting link rigging, control tube assemblies, structural fittings, emergency escape hooks, disc brakes, strut assemblies, drive shafts, hinge fairings, arm assemblies, support assemblies, and related mechanical parts. Representative recent work includes a $47,065 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (April 2026) for connecting link rigging components under a total small business set-aside, a $68,634 purchase order for sleeve and slide components (March 2026, total small business set-aside), and a $85,728 purchase order for tube assembly wing components (February 2026, total small business set-aside). Across a broader sample, individual task order values typically range from $3,600 to $28,000. Work is performed at the contractor's West Hills and Canoga Park facilities, with deliveries to DLA depots throughout CONUS and OCONUS.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward DLA. DLA Aviation accounts for 559 awards carrying $10.6 million in combined potential value; DLA Land and Maritime carries 504 awards with $6.2 million combined potential value. Together, DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime represent approximately 95% of the award count and over 93% of combined potential value. The company also serves DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (25 awards, $262 thousand), the Department of the Air Force (29 awards), and the broader Defense Logistics Agency entity (42 awards, $262 thousand).

Western Pacific Enterprises operates almost exclusively through single-award indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA. The vendor holds multiple active IDCs: a $350,000 ceiling contract with DLA Aviation awarded April 13, 2026 (total small business set-aside, completion April 12, 2031); a $350,000 Land and Maritime IDC awarded April 1, 2026 (total small business set-aside, one-year term through April 1, 2027); a $350,000 Land and Maritime IDC awarded March 26, 2026 (total small business set-aside, one-year term); a $350,000 DLA Aviation IDC awarded March 23, 2026 (total small business set-aside, completion March 19, 2031); a $350,000 Land and Maritime IDC awarded March 5, 2026 (total small business set-aside, one-year term); a $350,000 Land and Maritime IDC awarded February 2, 2026 (total small business set-aside, one-year term); and a $250,000 DLA Aviation IDC awarded June 30, 2025 (total small business set-aside, completion June 25, 2030). Earlier vehicles include a $250,000 DLA Land and Maritime IDC (awarded February 3, 2025, completion February 3, 2026) for connecting link rigging components, a $250,000 DLA Aviation IDC (awarded September 23, 2024, completion September 22, 2029) for support and reversing components, and a $250,000 Land and Maritime IDC for disc brakes (awarded February 26, 2024, completion February 25, 2025). Task orders are issued continuously under these vehicles, with 15, 14, 13, 11, and 8 task orders respectively placed against the five highest-activity parent IDCs.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years: 55 awards in 2022, 50 in 2023, 51 in 2024, 55 in 2025, and 32 recorded to date in 2026. However, nineteen awards carrying combined potential value of $420 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing a material recompete cliff. These completions align with the one-year terms and near-term expiration dates on several of the company's Land and Maritime IDCs, particularly the $250,000 connecting link rigging IDC (expiration February 3, 2026, already passed in source time) and vehicles due to cycle in early 2027.

The vendor does not subcontract; it operates as a prime contractor only with no identified sub-award activity across the entire portfolio. Western Pacific Enterprises manufactures components directly, with no major subcontractors identified in any award documentation. All manufacturing capability resides in-house at the West Hills and Canoga Park facilities. The company competes almost exclusively under total small business set-asides, particularly the woman-owned small business category. A significant minority of individual task orders carry no set-aside designation, but the underlying IDVs themselves are predominantly set-aside vehicles, reinforcing the vendor's posture as a preferred small business supplier within DLA's aviation and land and maritime logistics networks.

The vendor's product portfolio aligns closely with NAICS 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing) and related codes, with secondary presence in aircraft parts manufacturing (NAICS 336413). PSC classification centers on airframe structural components (PSC 32), miscellaneous power transmission equipment (PSC 30), and pipe and tube (PSC 31).
