WTA Tool LLC

WTA Tool LLC, a sole proprietorship and limited liability company based in Grandview, Missouri, manufactures precision maintenance tools and aviation ground support equipment sold as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and General Services Administration, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and full-and-open on individual purchase orders and delivery orders.

The company's federal footprint centers on a narrow, high-utilization customer base. DLA Aviation accounts for 734 of 834 total prime awards (88% of volume) and $6.7 million of $7.7 million combined potential value (87% of dollars), with the remaining share split among GSA Federal Acquisition Service (56 awards, $456 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime (15 awards, $321 thousand), and smaller Army and specialized logistics accounts. WTA Tool competes almost exclusively through its six active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation—each valued at $250,000, designated as Total Small Business set-asides, and extending through 2027 to 2031—which cover product-specific categories: slide pullers, short stem mandrels, long stem mandrels, spanner wrenches, box wrenches, and welding wire liners. Individual task orders and purchase orders under these vehicles range from $1,000 to $14,000 and are issued without set-aside designation, leveraging the underlying IDC's small business protection. Representative recent work includes a $2,640 delivery order awarded April 13, 2026, for an extension socket wrench under Total Small Business set-aside; a $15,000 purchase order for pliers awarded January 28, 2026; a $11,200 purchase order for a mechanical puller awarded November 22, 2023; and a $18,360 purchase order for spanner wrenches under Total Small Business set-aside awarded September 10, 2025. The company also holds 56 awards from GSA Federal Acquisition Service, including a Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for wooden shovel handles awarded November 15, 2023.

WTA Tool's activity trajectory shows relative stability with modest decline. The vendor recorded 79 awards in 2022, peaked at 100 in 2023, then dropped to 79 in 2024 and 75 in 2025; only 22 awards appear in 2026 year-to-date as of the July 15 snapshot. Of 834 total awards in the source, only 3 reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $14 thousand), presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The bulk of WTA Tool's active IDCs mature between mid-2027 and April 2031, with the most recent award being a single-award IDC worth $350,000 extending through April 5, 2031, and seven prior IDCs carrying $250,000 ceilings through mid-2028.

WTA Tool operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; the vendor self-performs all work at its Grandview facility with no identified subs across its federal award history. The company's product portfolio is narrow and specialized: wrenches (spanner, tee handle, box, open-end, crowfoot variants), socket extensions, mandrels (short stem, long stem, flaring, backup pad, flattening), slide pullers, bearing installers and removers, torque wrenches, adapters, socket head screws and keys, drill jigs, installation and removal tools, welding wire liners, mechanical and sleeve pullers, leveling jacks, clamps, pulleys, and allied aviation maintenance hardware. All goods are manufactured and delivered from Grandview, with no indication of overseas or subordinate facilities. The vendor's NAICS profile skews heavily to Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing (NAICS 332212, 720 awards), with secondary codes for Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing (40 awards) and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (47 awards). PSC coding is dominated by Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered (813 awards).

Corporate structure is a sole proprietorship and limited liability company; the source identifies no ownership designations, minority status, women ownership, or SBA certifications beyond the Total Small Business set-aside category applied to IDC vehicles. The vendor registered in SAM in January 2011 and has maintained continuous federal contracting activity over a fifteen-year span. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.4 million against $7.7 million potential value, reflecting a 44% obligation rate typical of IDC and BPA vehicles with unexercised ceiling authority.
