Who buys NAICS 326291 (Rubber Product Manufacturing for Mechanical Use) work, who wins it, and what's open right now — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov solicitations.
Contract data as of Oct 30, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 52 | $2.8M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 45 | $3.6M | +31% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 44 | $11.0M | +205% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 7 | $571K | -95% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards (DoD is 95% of this market's dollars) — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.

Contracts with at least $250K obligated whose final end date — every option exercised — falls in the window, counted from Oct 31, 2026. These are the Recompete Tracker's default filters (18 months, ≥$250K), so the figures match the tracker for NAICS 326291. “Obligated to date” is what has been obligated on the contract so far, not the value of the follow-on. An end date is when the work stops, not when the replacement is solicited — that usually happens 6–18 months earlier. Source: USAspending.gov prime awards.
| Offers received | Awards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 46 | 36.2% |
| 2 | 33 | 26.0% |
| 3–5 | 31 | 24.4% |
| 6–10 | 13 | 10.2% |
| 11+ | 4 | 3.1% |
From FPDS fields on contract awards that started in FY2026. Offers received is recorded on 86% of these 148 awards and extent competed on 100% — much of the USAspending bulk archive leaves both blank — so each share is over the awards where the field is recorded, not all awards. FPDS's placeholder count of 999 offers is excluded. Task orders under multiple-award vehicles often report the vehicle's offer count, which inflates averages; the single-offer share is the steadier signal. “Not competed” = not competed, not competed under simplified acquisition, or not available for competition (sole-source authorities, including 8(a) directed awards).

Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once. Track record: fiscal years FY2015–FY2024 in which the company family received prime awards from any agency (USAspending.gov, by UEI; earlier years aren't loaded). Awards and obligations in this table are FY2026.

| Department of Defense | $17.0M | 94.9% |
| Department of Transportation | $888K | 5.0% |
