About the company
Yates Industries Inc., operating as Yates Cylinders, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder assemblies and actuators that operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, with manufacturing facilities also in Austell, Georgia through subsidiary Yates Cylinders Georgia LLC. Yates competes under Total Small Business set-asides for a substantial share of its work, though recent awards reflect a mix of set-aside and full-and-open designations.
Yates' capability portfolio centers on the manufacture and repair of specialized hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, actuators, and related mechanical power transmission equipment for military equipment maintenance and logistics support. The company's concrete delivery includes actuating cylinders, cylinder assemblies, packing components, and cylinder overhaul services. Representative recent work includes a $7.33 million total small business definitive contract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division in September 2025 for 78 cylinder assemblies (NSN 3040-01-569-2598) with completion in November 2026; a $139,906.94 delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard in September 2022 for overhaul of 17 linear actuating cylinders; and a $250,000 total small business indefinite delivery contract awarded by DLA Land and Maritime in July 2025 for actuating cylinders with an estimated nine orders per year through July 2026.
Customer concentration skews heavily toward the Department of Defense and its components. The top five funding organizations account for 78% of awards by count and 95% by potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal anchors the dollar footprint with a single $7.33 million award, while the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard places the highest award count at 11 orders (combined potential value $2 million). The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime maintains the largest transactional relationship with 16 awards across multiple indefinite delivery contracts valued at $873 thousand combined. The Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command and TACOM Life Cycle Management Command each add nearly $1 million in combined potential value. This concentration reflects Yates' role as a dedicated small business supplier to Defense Logistics Agency and Coast Guard maintenance and logistics operations rather than exposure across civilian agencies.
Yates holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. The primary vehicle is a $1.59 million indefinite delivery contract valid through April 2028 supporting cylinder assemblies and components across Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. A second $250,000 total small business indefinite delivery contract awarded July 2025 procures actuating cylinders through July 2026. Task orders flow through these vehicles for specific cylinder models, National Stock Numbers, and quantities. The company also maintains indefinite delivery contracts under Army Materiel Command and Coast Guard vehicles, though the source does not provide vehicle identifiers or ceiling values for all of them.
Award activity has been episodic — one award each in 2022, 2023, and 2024, then three in 2025 and one through mid-2026 — with total awards reaching 46 since 2008 and combined potential value of $12.8 million (51% obligated as of the source date). One award valued at $7.33 million faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure for the Army's Detroit Arsenal contracting office. Yates maintains 100% prime contractor posture with no subcontract work in the source data. The company's federal awards fall under NAICS codes 333613 (Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing) and 333614 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting its core manufacturing identity.
