HAWKINS GLASS WHOLESALERS, L.L.C

Hawkins Glass Wholesalers, L.L.C. specializes in the manufacturing and integration of specialized armored vehicle components, transparent armor systems, and mission-critical metal fabrications for defense applications. Their technical expertise centers on the production of ballistic-grade transparent armor, supplemental armor plating, and precision-engineered components for military armored vehicles, including periscopes and vehicle window installations. The company demonstrates deep proficiency in high-strength glass and metal composite fabrication, with a focus on meeting stringent military specifications for impact resistance, optical clarity, and environmental durability. Their capabilities extend to the manufacturing of vehicle electrical systems and custom machinery used in armored vehicle assembly, positioning them as a niche supplier of integrated survivability solutions for ground combat platforms. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense and DLA Land and Maritime, delivering mission-essential components for armored vehicle fleets. Work includes direct support for vehicle modernization, retrofit programs, and sustainment of armored transport and reconnaissance platforms. Their contract history reflects a pattern of repeat engagements on classified and unclassified defense projects requiring certified manufacturing processes and strict quality control. Primary industry focus lies in military armored vehicle manufacturing (NAICS 336992), other motor vehicle parts manufacturing (336390), and motor vehicle body manufacturing (336211), with secondary involvement in fabricated metal products and industrial machinery. The company is positioned as a Tier 2 supplier to prime defense contractors, specializing in component-level fabrication rather than full vehicle integration. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Lorton, VA, Hawkins Glass Wholesalers operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused presence in the defense supply chain. Their geographic proximity to major DoD logistics hubs supports rapid response and just-in-time delivery for time-sensitive defense programs.
