DEPAUL INDUSTRIES

DePaul Industries specializes in the manufacture of durable combat-grade cutlery and the provision of mission-critical facilities support services for federal security and defense operations. Their technical expertise lies in precision metal fabrication of military-grade knives and utensils, meeting stringent defense specifications for durability, ergonomics, and field reliability. Simultaneously, they deliver high-integrity fire watch services for U.S. Coast Guard vessels, providing 24/7 security monitoring, hazard detection, and emergency response readiness in maritime environments. These dual capabilities reflect a unique blend of industrial manufacturing and operational support, with a focus on mission-critical, time-sensitive deliverables under strict compliance standards. Their ability to concurrently produce specialized equipment and deploy trained personnel for maritime security underscores a flexible, responsive operational model tailored to federal mission needs. The company maintains a strong, sustained relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, primarily supporting Coast Guard assets through fire watch and vessel security services, and with the Department of Defense, supplying combat knives and field utensils to military units. Their work for these agencies is characterized by recurring, time-bound contracts aligned with operational cycles, indicating deep integration into ongoing force readiness and maritime patrol missions. DePaul Industries operates primarily under NAICS 561210 (facilities support services) and 332215 (metal cutlery manufacturing), positioning them as a niche provider in both defense logistics and physical security support. They serve the maritime defense and military supply verticals with precision-engineered hardware and on-site protective services, distinguishing themselves through dual-domain capability. As an 8H-certified entity based in Portland, Oregon, DePaul Industries is structured as a small business with a focused geographic footprint. While they hold no formal government certifications beyond their entity status, their consistent performance on high-tempo, security-sensitive contracts demonstrates proven reliability in federal procurement environments.
