Watanu LLC

Watanu LLC, a minority-owned, Black American-owned sole proprietorship and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Abington, Massachusetts, supplies specialized hardware components and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor competing full-and-open, without reliance on set-aside categories. The vendor operates across fastener manufacturing (NAICS 332721) and general hardware supply (NAICS 332510), delivering machine screws, bolts, casters, hose assemblies, and related precision-engineered parts to defense depots both domestically and overseas.

Watanu's customer footprint is highly concentrated within a single agency. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for all eighteen recent awards, split between the Land and Maritime division (10 awards, $253 thousand combined potential value) and the Aviation division (8 awards, $9 thousand combined potential value). This concentration reflects the vendor's positioning as a low-volume, on-demand supplier of mission-critical hardware components rather than a broad-based services or systems integrator.

The vendor's primary vehicle position is a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE7L125D60LA) with DLA Land and Maritime, valued at $250 thousand and running through January 17, 2026. The IDC structure permits approximately seven orders per year with a guaranteed minimum of four units of CASTER, SWIVEL hardware (National Stock Number 5340004290171), with deliveries required within 99 days to CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots. One delivery order (8511782626) was issued under this IDC in November 2025 for completion in February 2026. Beyond the IDC, Watanu's remaining awards consist of individual purchase orders, most valued at $1,200 or less, for machine screws (six awards), hardware components (five awards), and hose assemblies (three awards), all issued on firm fixed-price terms with no set-asides applied.

Activity has grown modestly — four awards in 2024, eight in 2025, and six in 2026 — though the combined potential value of only $262 thousand across all eighteen awards and actual obligated spending of just $12 thousand suggest these are small-dollar, ad-hoc orders rather than sustained contract performance. Four awards (combined potential value $5 thousand) reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Watanu has no recorded subcontract footprint and does not sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs beyond its single-award DLA IDC. The vendor's capability portfolio is tightly scoped to precision hardware manufacturing and supply-chain logistics for defense aviation and maritime operations.
