Small Business and Socioeconomic-Compliant Subcontracting

This contract opportunity is designed to support small, veteran-owned, HUBZone, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses by enabling them to serve as subcontractors on a larger procurement effort managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense. The solicitation is tied to the NAICS code 424210, which corresponds to pharmaceutical and botanical product merchant wholesalers, indicating the primary scope of subcontracted goods or services involves the distribution of medical and pharmaceutical supplies. The initiative aims to fulfill federal socioeconomic goals by prioritizing participation from designated small business categories, ensuring equitable access to government contracting opportunities without a formal set-aside designation. Performance is expected to support defense logistics operations nationwide, with no specific location designated for performance. The contract was posted in August 2026 and is linked to an existing prime award, allowing qualified small businesses to align their capabilities with the prime contractor’s needs to meet diversity and inclusion targets within the defense supply chain.
