Young & Cunningham America, Inc.

Young & Cunningham America, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of sealing components and valve assemblies based in Katy, Texas, operates as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders for the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of the Navy, serving maritime and shipboard equipment programs with no set-aside designation across all recent awards.

Young & Cunningham America competes in full-and-open procurement and manufactures industrial valves, O-rings, manifold assemblies, gate valves, and quick-closing valve systems under NAICS 332410 (Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing) and supporting NAICS codes 332420 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) and 326290 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing). The vendor's recent award portfolio spans twenty-two prime contracts valued at $329 thousand in combined potential value, though $586 thousand has been obligated across those awards—indicating repeat ordering and small-dollar replenishment buys characteristic of the supply-chain model. Concrete recent work includes a $137,700 Coast Guard purchase order awarded August 2026 for a complete topworks assembly with manual handwheel operation for a fuel transfer manifold; an $850,989.33 Defense Logistics Agency order from July 2023 for O-rings; a $81,600 Coast Guard contract from June 2022 for fuel-oil manifold valves; and a $14,920 Military Sealift Command order from January 2024 for gate valves destined for the USNS Robert E. Peary.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to maritime and surface-fleet programs. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard leads by combined potential value with four awards ($243 thousand); the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command follows with five awards ($31 thousand combined potential value); Naval Supply Systems Command holds two awards ($24 thousand); and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for six awards totaling $8 thousand. Together these four customer lines cover 100% of combined potential value. The vendor's top NAICS categories reflect this focus: Industrial Valve Manufacturing dominates with eleven awards, followed by Ship Building and Repairing with six awards. Award volume has been sparse and episodic over the past five years (one award in 2019, two in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2026), with no parent-vehicle relationships indicated in the source data—all work flows through direct purchase orders rather than IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. The vendor holds no sub-award footprint and operates exclusively as a prime. Performance location is primarily Katy, Texas, with some orders calling for delivery to maritime platforms or vessel yards.
