Troop Support

Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, a sub-agency of the Department of Defense, procures supplies, equipment, and materials to support military operations and readiness across all service branches. DLA Troop Support is the DoD's principal distribution and supply chain arm for subsistence, uniforms, medical items, weapons and ammunition, industrial hardware, and general supplies—executing millions of individual orders annually to depots, forward locations, and field units worldwide.

Since 1996, DLA Troop Support has awarded 27.2 million contracts with a combined potential value of $381.89 billion, of which $338.54 billion (89%) has been obligated. The agency awarded 2.2 million contracts in 2022, 2.15 million in 2023, 1.98 million in 2024, 1.87 million in 2025, and 625,663 so far in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is June 15, 2026.

Contract competition is moderately concentrated among prime suppliers. Over the last five years, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corp leads by award count with 975,831 awards and $17.96 billion in combined potential value, followed by Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC (639,359 awards, $1.15 billion potential value) and Cardinal Health 200, LLC (605,267 awards, $1.18 billion potential value). These top three primes account for 29 percent of recent awards by count but only 6 percent of combined potential value, indicating that high-volume suppliers (particularly drug and medical distributors) coexist with a broad supplier base. The agency has engaged 17,832 distinct prime contractors across portfolio history.

Set-asides are minimal—97 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business awards total 3 percent of the portfolio, distributed across total small business, partial small business, 8(a) sole source, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, competitive 8(a), and woman-owned small business categories, each representing less than 1 percent individually.

The agency transacts primarily through request-for-quote (RFQ) solicitations posted on a rolling basis. Recent opportunities include small-business set-asides for filter-separator components (due August 3), food waste disposal systems (due July 28), and tank assemblies (due August 3), alongside open competition for condenser coils, intercommunication equipment, and document storage boxes. A pre-solicitation notice signals an upcoming long-term contract for strategic commercial clothing including combat shirts, hydration pouches, and tactical apparel (sources-sought deadline August 4), and a pre-solicitation for ISO shipping containers (deadline July 27) indicates pipeline activity for containerized logistics support. Most RFQs specify small quantities delivered to DLA Distribution depots or forward operating locations with 30- to 200-day delivery windows, typical of the agency's rapid-replenishment model.
