About The Zippertubing Co
The Zippertubing Co, doing business as Zip Tape Id Systems, manufactures engineered protection solutions — insulation sleeving, heat shrink materials, electronic shielding, thermal insulation, and cable markers — for defense and aerospace platforms, operating as a prime contractor on 95% of federal awards and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The Chandler, Arizona-based manufacturer competes full-and-open on a small-business posture; of 135 total awards tracked, two carry Total Small Business set-aside designations while the remainder are unrestricted.
The Zippertubing Co's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count, with DLA Aviation anchoring the footprint at 77 awards worth $1 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second by potential value at $344 thousand across 12 awards, followed by DLA Land and Maritime at 18 awards and $193 thousand. DLA Aviation's dominance across both award-count and dollar rankings reflects the vendor's core role as a routine supplies provider to the defense aviation logistics system. Awards cluster into small purchase orders — the majority carry ceiling values under $10 thousand — executed on firm fixed-price terms with sub-month or single-month completion timelines.
The vendor's recent activity has stabilized around 12-13 awards per year in 2024 and 2025 after a 2022-2023 trough of 4-7 awards annually. Only two awards (combined potential value $271 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. A 1981 first-award date signals sustained presence in the defense supply chain; The Zippertubing Co has held SAM.gov registration since 2001. The vendor's capability framing and NAICS concentration (60 awards under Noncurrent-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing, 76 awards under Electrical Insulators and Insulating Materials PSC) reflect a narrow, specialized product footprint aligned to insulation and protection components rather than broad systems integration or engineering services.
In its subcontractor role, The Zippertubing Co supplies precision-machined components, shielded blankets, and specialized tape products to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin on programs including Patriot launching stations, CIWS production, Trident deployment support, and block-level aircraft overhauls. The source names Accessible Products Company as a subsidiary but provides no detail on that entity's role or capability contribution. The vendor does not occupy parent contract vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs; task orders flow through single-award DLA and Navy indefinite delivery contracts, confining its footprint to routine replenishment purchasing rather than competitive task order placement on government-wide platforms.
