Land and Maritime

Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, a sub-agency of the Department of Defense, procures and distributes supplies, parts, and equipment for military operations worldwide through automated indefinite delivery contracts, reverse auctions, and request-for-quote (RFQ) solicitations. The agency transacts at enormous scale and velocity across 5.8 million contract awards since 1997, making it one of the largest supply-side procurement operations in the federal government.

Over the last five years, DLA Land and Maritime issued 387,955 awards in 2022, 367,381 in 2023, 350,700 in 2024, 319,644 in 2025, and 156,408 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recently recorded award dated August 31, 2026. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $66.59 billion, with $65.1 billion obligated (98% of potential value). The agency awards through 18,125 distinct prime contractors, indicating a highly fragmented competitive base.

Among recent activity over the last five years, Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. leads by award count with 205,066 awards worth $185.6 million combined potential value, followed by Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC with 169,604 awards worth $1.11 billion, and Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. with 156,354 awards worth $102.6 million. By combined potential value, Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC dominates with $1.11 billion across 169,604 awards, but the top five primes by potential value account for only 4 percent of combined value — reflecting the agency's reliance on qualified-products lists and approved-source constraints that distribute awards across hundreds of specialized vendors. The competitive concentration by award count is highly fragmented at 40 percent top-five coverage; by value it is highly fragmented at 4 percent.

The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation: 93 percent are unrestricted, while 6 percent target small business (including 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB categories combined). This reflects DLA's orientation toward supply-chain continuity and qualified-vendor management rather than small-business development.
