Washington Foundries Inc.

Washington Foundries Inc., a woman-owned small business (WOSB) manufacturer in Hewlett, New York, supplies specialized industrial components and machined parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company holds WOSB, Asian-Pacific American owned, and self-certified HUBZone joint venture designations, operating as a Subchapter S corporation. Over the past five years, Washington Foundries has secured roughly 5,100 prime awards with combined potential value of $250.3 million, with an obligated baseline of $128.2 million, though award velocity has declined from 497 awards in 2022 to 97 through April 2026.

The vendor's portfolio is almost entirely composed of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) work: DLA Land and Maritime represents 3,621 awards worth $160.1 million in potential value, while DLA Aviation accounts for 862 awards worth $46.5 million. Together, these two DLA divisions represent 96% of award count and 92% of combined potential value; secondary customers include the Department of the Army and Army Materiel Command, each with roughly 16 to 36 awards and combined values near $8.9 million. The concentration is extreme and persistent — Land and Maritime has anchored the portfolio for years, driven by recurring high-volume, low-value battery storage, steering and suspension components, and brake system parts.

Washington Foundries manufactures storage batteries (1,075 awards), semiconductor devices (414 awards), motor vehicle steering and suspension components (377 awards), bearings (204 awards), and motor vehicle brakes (204 awards). Representative recent work includes a $797,791.05 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in October 2025 for 873 transistors; a $334,857 delivery order in November 2025 for vehicular aligning rods; a $153,410 delivery order from Land and Maritime in February 2026 for aligning rods; and a $138,754.77 incandescent lamp delivery order from DLA Aviation in October 2025. The vendor operates off multiple single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime, each with ceilings ranging from $249,999.99 to $350,000 and expiration dates extending to 2030. Top IDVs include a DLA Land and Maritime vehicle (SPE7L421D5003) with 991 task orders and a small Land and Maritime set-aside contract with a three-year tail expiring January 20, 2027.

Activity has declined materially year over year — from 497 awards in 2022 to 360 in 2025 and just 97 through mid-April 2026. Thirty-nine awards (combined potential value $8.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in Land and Maritime vehicle component renewal. The vendor's entire footprint is prime work (100% split); no sub-award revenue is reflected. Washington Foundries competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides (characteristic across Land and Maritime task orders) and full-and-open procurements (common in Aviation and newer purchases). The DLA relationship is transactional and fragmented — the vendor does not appear to hold parent-level blanket purchase agreements or agency-wide IDIQs but instead operates under commodity-specific single-award vehicles, each capped at modest ceiling values and generating numerous small task orders rather than consolidated procurement vehicles.
