Yama Manufacturing Incorporated

Yama Manufacturing Incorporated, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, manufactures precision aerospace and defense components—primarily structural plates, brackets, assemblies, and specialized aircraft hardware—and sells them as a prime contractor directly to the Defense Logistics Agency across 914 recent federal awards totaling $24.1 million in combined potential value.

The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation that has been registered with SAM.gov since September 2001. It competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though a material share of recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations reflecting the company's small disadvantaged business posture. Yama Manufacturing executes the vast majority of its federal work as a direct manufacturer without subcontractors, positioning itself as a primary supplier rather than a systems integrator.

Yama's customer concentration is overwhelming and monolithic. The top five DLA divisions account for 97% of recent awards by count and 88% of combined potential value. DLA Aviation dominates the portfolio with 524 awards worth $10.7 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment with 178 awards worth $8.4 million. DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support Hardware, and generic DLA funding make up the remainder. This concentration is not bifurcated between order volume and dollar concentration—both rankings move together, with DLA Aviation anchoring both. The company's footprint is entirely Defense Logistics Agency business; no other federal agencies appear in the portfolio.

Yama's capability portfolio is defined by commodity manufacturing of aircraft and ground support hardware. Representative work includes a $249,837 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (awarded January 2025) for 1,100 lock assembly blade components with 365-day delivery to DLA Distribution; a $172,500 purchase order from DLA Aviation (August 2025) for aircraft elevator ribs on firm fixed-price terms; a $61,330 purchase order from DLA Aviation (October 2025) for structural aluminum plates with June 2028 completion; and recurring delivery orders under four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation—including a $989,416 non-set-aside IDC for nut strips and related aircraft hardware (awarded March 2022, completion March 2027), and three $250,000 set-aside IDCs for rotary wing helicopter stops, gun hoist guide assemblies, and retainer assemblies (awarded August and October 2022, expiring August 2027 through October 2029). Yama also holds a newly awarded $250,000 small business set-aside IDC from DLA Aviation for support assembly components (awarded June 2025, completion June 2030). The company executes both set-aside and unrestricted delivery orders under these vehicles; recent examples include a $52,465 delivery order for gun hoist guide assemblies under total small business set-aside (April 2025), a $26,786 delivery order for rotary wing helicopter stops without set-aside (October 2024), and a $95,976 delivery order for nut strips without set-aside (March 2024).

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years—48 awards in 2022, 44 in 2023, 58 in 2024, 55 in 2025, and 7 in early 2026—with no pronounced growth or decline trajectory. Yama faces modest recompete exposure: 42 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.4 million, representing about 6% of the total portfolio and reflecting the natural refresh cycle of DLA purchase orders and delivery orders rather than a cliff-edge recompete risk. The four primary IDC vehicles (the $989,416 nut strips contract and the three $250,000 set-aside vehicles) all expire between March 2027 and October 2029, creating a medium-term recompete cliff in 2027–2029 worth roughly $1.7 million in cumulative ceiling value.

Yama's work is overwhelmingly NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), accounting for 513 of 914 awards, with secondary concentrations in aircraft manufacturing (125 awards) and hardware manufacturing (91 awards). PSC-level work clusters in Airframe Structural Components (350 awards), Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (157 awards), and Hardware, Commercial (90 awards). Yama maintains no visible subcontract footprint in the source data and no teaming relationships with other defense primes. The company's sole role is as a direct DLA supplier of manufactured components.
