Wallingford Industries, Inc.

Wallingford Industries, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Branford, Connecticut, manufactures metal tube assemblies and bent metallic pipe for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside competition, with 100% of its recent award footprint as prime work and no subcontract activity.

The company operates as a focused metal fabrication manufacturer specializing in defense logistics supply chain components. Wallingford's capability portfolio centers on fabricated metal pipe assemblies, bent metallic tubing, and pipe fittings serving Defense Logistics Agency inventory and distribution requirements. Representative recent work includes a $67,089.50 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded December 12, 2025) for 1,090 units of tube assemblies (NSN 4710015914981) with 35-day delivery to DLA Distribution Red River; a $57,949.40 firm fixed-price purchase order (awarded January 7, 2026) for 148 units of metal tube assemblies (NSN 4710010695931) delivering to DLA Distribution facility W1A8; and a $59,415.85 purchase order (awarded May 5, 2026) for 247 units of tube and fittings components to DLA Distribution Red River. All work is performed in-house at the Branford facility with firm fixed-price pricing; delivery timelines range from 35 to 210 days from order.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 46 awards (77% of the total award count in the source) and $1.8 million in combined potential value (99% of all dollars), with secondary and tertiary customers representing minimal exposure: the Department of the Army holds 18 awards, GSA Federal Acquisition Service 3 awards, and the parent Defense Logistics Agency entity 2 awards. This posture is purely defense-focused through a single customer pipeline.

Wallingford holds single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime across four active vehicles. The largest is a $350,000 Total Small Business IDIQ (awarded July 14, 2026, completion July 14, 2027) for metal tube assemblies (NSN 4710007918078) with a guaranteed minimum of 9 units and estimated six orders per year. A second $350,000 no-set-aside IDIQ (awarded December 23, 2025, completion December 23, 2026) procures tube assemblies, metal (NSN 4710005702886) with a guaranteed minimum of 15 units and one estimated order per year. A $250,000 Total Small Business IDIQ (awarded October 20, 2025, completion October 20, 2026) covers bent metallic tubing with a guaranteed minimum of 13 units annually. An earlier $350,000 no-set-aside IDIQ (awarded March 16, 2026, completion March 16, 2027) for bent metallic pipes (NSN 4710012688363) carries a guaranteed minimum of 28 units and two estimated orders per year. Two task orders sit on GSA's Blanket Purchase Agreement GS07FWALSQ. The IDIQ portfolio underpins recurring order flow but caps exposure at $1.25 million aggregate ceiling across the four vehicles.

Activity shows a sharp recent spike. The vendor received five awards in 2003, two in 2004, and one in 2005 — then no recorded awards until 2025, when it received 29 awards, followed by 17 awards year-to-date in 2026 (through July). This reactivation reflects DLA's recent and intensified procurement from the vendor for metal tube assemblies. Combined potential value across all 90 prime awards in the source is $1.9 million, with $1.6 million (85%) obligated. Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $67,000 — a minimal recompete cliff. The vendor's NAICS profile centers on Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (38 awards) and Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing (11 awards), with PSC 47 (Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing) accounting for 71 of 90 awards.

Wallingford competes in both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles but does not hold 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other categorical small-business certifications in the source; the Total Small Business set-asides reflect the vendor's small-business size status only. The vendor operates with no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint and maintains single-source concentration with DLA — a supplier relationship rather than a prime competitive threat to integrators or systems contractors.
