Warren Industries Inc.

Warren Industries Inc., doing business as Warren-Knight Instrument Co. and N. Amer. Survey Supply Co. Division, is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer of precision optical instruments and alignment systems based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, competing as a prime contractor on 97% of its federal awards across full-and-open and total small business set-aside procurements.

Warren Industries manufactures and delivers specialized navigation, surveying, and positioning equipment to defense and civilian federal agencies. The company's product portfolio spans clinometers, azimuth circles, alidades (telescopic and bridge variants), theodolites, shipboard alignment systems, boresight telescopes, binocular carriages, and calibration and repair services for precision optical instruments. Recent representative prime awards include a $321,017 definitive contract with the Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Complex to manufacture and deliver 11 units plus a first-article unit of slipper shroud alignment tools for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile system (awarded September 2025, ultimate completion June 2026); a $195,000 total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for 60 units of telescopic alidades (awarded October 2023, ultimate completion February 2026); a $237,318 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for six sensor shipboard alignment systems (awarded September 2023); and a $663,780 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for five multi-sensor leveling systems and mandrel extensions (awarded October 2022, ultimate completion June 2023).

Customer concentration sits heavily with Defense Logistics Agency components and the Department of the Navy. The top five customer agencies by award count and potential value together account for 43% of awards and 58% of combined potential value. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads by volume with 58 awards ($1.4 million combined potential value), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime with 39 awards ($825 thousand), and Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command with 26 awards ($1.6 million). Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command places 16 awards ($1.1 million), and United States Marine Corps places 10 awards ($1 million). The vendor has worked across 39 distinct federal agencies, including the Coast Guard (alidade repair and recalibration), Air Force (theodolite repairs), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA ship alidade repair and calibration). The split between top-volume and top-dollar customers is tight—Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the largest single-award values while DLA Construction and Equipment drives recurring transaction volume.

Warren Industries sits on five named indefinite delivery vehicles, all as a prime. The largest by task-order volume is IDC F0960303D0054 with 19 task orders ($53 thousand combined potential value), followed by IDC SPE4A621D0184 with 8 task orders ($453 thousand) and IDC SP044003D0782 with 6 task orders ($489 thousand). IDC W56KGY22D0001 and IDC N0016400D0028 carry 4 and 3 task orders respectively. These vehicles primarily route DLA and Navy task orders for precision instruments and repair services.

Activity has been steady but declining year over year. The vendor placed 13 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 4 to date in 2026 (as of July 15, 2026). Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months ($41 thousand combined potential value), representing minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Combined potential value across 426 total awards (prime and sub) stands at $10.7 million, though obligated dollars ($17.9 million) exceed potential value by 68%, indicating significant invoicing against multi-year and option-year contracts already underway.

Warren Industries subcontracts on 12 awards (3% of the footprint) to defense primes Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Torch Technologies Inc., Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems Inc., and S & K Federal Services LLC. Subcontract scope includes electrical wire and cable items for AIM-9X missile production (Raytheon, November 2025 and January 2025), telescope assemblies for indirect fire infantry combat team systems (Lockheed Martin, August and September 2024), boresight and thermal collimators for distributed digital simulation systems (Torch Technologies, February 2024), and procurement of replenishment spares (Kratos, October 2023).

The vendor's award footprint clusters heavily around optical instrument and lens manufacturing (60 awards), other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (52 awards), and search, detection, navigation, guidance, and aeronautical and nautical system and instrument manufacturing (49 awards). Top PSC codes reflect the same specialization: drafting, surveying, and mapping instruments (112 awards), optical instruments and test equipment (94 awards), meteorological instruments (35 awards), and navigational instruments (29 awards). This tight category concentration and the prevalence of small-dollar, high-frequency purchase orders—many under $50,000 and dominated by DLA aviation and construction-equipment construction codes—position Warren Industries as a specialist supplier of replacement parts and repair services rather than a large-scale systems integrator.
