Weckworth Manufacturing, Inc.

Weckworth Manufacturing, Inc., doing business as Weckworth-Langdon, manufactures specialized industrial textile goods and defense components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside procurement categories. Based in Haysville, Kansas, the company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and small business with over four decades of federal contracting history dating to 2001.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on custom textile production and assembly for defense logistics applications. Representative work includes a $599.5 million total small business set-aside delivery order from DoD Aviation for extension and extraction work (August 2025); a $270.8 million delivery order from DLA Construction and Equipment for cargo slings and nets (August 2025); and a $252.6 million total small business set-aside delivery order from DLA Clothing and Textiles for survival vests (July 2025). Weckworth Manufacturing's product lines span aircraft engine covers, protective covers, cargo nets, survival vests, anti-exposure hoods, textile assemblies, seat cushions, window curtains, water separators, tarpaulins, parachute components, and webbing straps. The company also supplies non-textile items including self-locking inserts, thermal insulation, and hardware components. Recent smaller orders exemplify the breadth: rip cord parachute components ($2.5 million, April 2026), aircraft water separators ($49.7 million delivery order, November 2025), and survival blankets across multiple DLA divisions.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Defense Logistics Agency components. The top five funding agencies account for 77% of awards by count. DLA Aviation leads with 2,975 awards ($101.1 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Land and Maritime (1,412 awards, $57.5 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (1,289 awards, $60.3 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (511 awards, $14.4 million), and DLA overall (464 awards, $2 million). GSA Federal Acquisition Service places fifth by potential value at $40.3 million across 430 awards. DLA Aviation dominates both volume and dollars; the two rankings track closely, indicating deep concentration in a single customer. Naval Supply Systems Command and the Army account for additional volume through specialized textile and component procurements.

Weckworth Manufacturing holds six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) under DLA, all awarded in 2026 with ceilings of $349,999.99–$350,000 and performance periods extending through 2027–2031. Four of these are total small business set-asides for DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime; two are full-and-open. The contracts cover aircraft components, seal assemblies, thermal insulation, and specialized textiles. Beyond these single-award IDCs, the vendor places task orders against GSA Federal Acquisition Service vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract GS07FN0056 (193 task orders, $26.7 million), GS07FT0021 (133 task orders, $4.1 million), and GS07FV9306 (113 task orders, $6.8 million). The company's awards span purchase orders, delivery orders, and definitive contracts, predominantly firm fixed-price structures with performance in Haysville, Kansas.

Activity has declined moderately year over year—from 477 awards in 2022 to 71 awards through mid-2026—though combined potential value remains substantial at $535.9 million with $271.5 million obligated (51%). Seventy-seven awards are completing within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $3.8 million and representing routine recompete exposure across DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime components.

The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor (8,637 of 8,651 awards); subcontract activity is negligible (14 sub-awards), including a November 2025 sub award from Boeing on F-15EX procurement and a September 2025 sub award for aircraft seat cushions. Product concentration reflects textile dominance: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (3,073 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (615 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (546 awards) drive the portfolio. PSC concentration aligns with this profile—Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (1,318 awards), Airframe Structural Components (860 awards), and Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (814 awards) lead the set. The company competes across Total Small Business, no set-aside, and occasional 8(a)-adjacent categories; Total Small Business set-asides recur frequently in recent awards, particularly those exceeding $100 million in potential value to DLA Aviation and Clothing and Textiles divisions.
