Supply Chain and Distribution Services for Defense Components

The contract seeks a distributor or supply chain partner to manage the procurement, inventory, and distribution of spur gears for defense applications, with specific responsibilities including order fulfillment and FOB origin delivery directly to DLA Land and Maritime depots. The role involves maintaining reliable stock levels, ensuring timely shipment, and adhering to military-grade logistics standards without assuming ownership of the end product. Delivery must align strictly with FOB origin terms, placing delivery and risk transfer responsibilities on the buyer upon product release from the supplier’s location. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 423830 for wholesale trade of hardware and plumbing and heating equipment, is issued by the Department of Defense through DLA Land and Maritime with a response deadline of May 20, 2026. The opportunity is open to qualified entities capable of supporting the defense supply chain with consistent, traceable, and compliant distribution of critical mechanical components. While no set-aside designation or specific location is specified, performance is anticipated to involve nationwide coordination with DLA depot networks and requires robust systems for inventory control, documentation, and on-time delivery under stringent defense logistics protocols.
