336340: Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing

Most of this market runs through one buyer. DLA Land and Maritime holds 15,072 of the 16,416 awards on record since FY2001, and it accounts for $240.56M of the $338.44M total. The median award is only $5.4K, and 356 distinct vendors have won work. A small firm should expect many small orders and steady competition from a broad field of suppliers. The other top buyers, including Army TACOM, DLA Land Warren, DLA Aviation Philadelphia, Defense Supply Center Columbus, and Marine Corps Systems Command, have far fewer awards, though some of them carry larger dollar totals per award.

The set-aside record is mixed. About 10,854 awards were marked with no set-aside, and 2,905 have no set-aside recorded at all. Smaller counts were marked SBA (2,222), SDVOSBC (387), HZC (20), 8AN (10), WOSB (10), and 8A (5). The notice does not explain these codes, so a firm should not read them as eligibility rules without checking the official definitions. Whether any of these designations applies to a given firm is a question for a qualified advisor, not this summary.

For the next year, the main signals are the 25 active notices and the 78 contracts worth $8.60M that end within 12 months. Those ending contracts point to likely recompete activity, though the notice does not say which buyers or items those contracts cover, or whether they will be rebid. A firm that wants to act on this should check the active notices directly for scope, dates, and set-aside status, since this data does not show them.
