URSCHEL TOOL CO

Urschel Tool Co. specializes in the precision manufacturing of military insignia, badges, buckles, ribbon attachments, and other small metal and textile components used in U.S. armed forces uniforms and equipment. Their core capabilities include die stamping, metal forming, embroidery, and fastener assembly using high-tolerance processes to meet strict military specifications for durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy. The company excels in producing standardized military hardware such as branch insignia, qualification badges, and pin-on fasteners, often requiring adherence to MIL-SPEC and Federal Specification standards. Their technical expertise lies in material selection for metallic alloys and textile substrates, surface finishing, and assembly techniques that ensure consistent quality under operational stress. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying mission-critical uniform accoutrements across multiple branches. Work is primarily delivered through DLA Troop Support, indicating a role in centralized logistics and supply chain fulfillment for standardized apparel and equipment items. Their contracts reflect a pattern of repeat procurement for standardized, high-volume items essential to military readiness and uniform compliance. Industry focus centers on NAICS 339910 (Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing), which in this context applies to the production of ceremonial and functional metal insignia; NAICS 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), covering embroidered badges and textile patches; and NAICS 339993 (Fastener, Button, Needle, and Pin Manufacturing), for hardware components like buckles and pin backs. This positions Urschel Tool Co. as a niche supplier in the defense uniform and insignia supply chain, serving as a trusted source for non-standardized, low-volume but high-precision items. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Cranston, Rhode Island, Urschel Tool Co. operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused geographic footprint in the Northeast defense manufacturing corridor. Their market positioning is that of a specialized, agile manufacturer serving the DoD’s enduring need for reliable, specification-compliant uniform components.
