Troop Support

Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, a sub-agency of the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, procures and distributes consumable supplies, equipment, and subsistence items for the uniformed military services and allied customers. DLA Troop Support is a high-volume transactional purchasing arm, operating through thousands of discrete supply-chain awards rather than major platforms or programs.

The agency has awarded 27.6 million federal contracts cumulatively since 1996, with combined potential value of $390.68 billion and $346.82 billion obligated (89% of potential value). Recent activity has moderated: 2,248,275 awards in 2022, 2,154,148 in 2023, 1,981,083 in 2024, 1,868,312 in 2025, and 1,004,555 year-to-date in 2026. The portfolio spans 17,902 distinct prime contractors. The most recent recorded award closed on September 30, 2026.

Competition among prime contractors is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count (Amerisourcebergen Drug Corp with 925,574 awards, Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics LLC with 642,764, and Cardinal Health 200 LLC with 561,815) account for 28 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, those same three primes account for only 6 percent of the five-year window, indicating that award volume concentrates among pharmaceutical and supply-logistics vendors while contract value remains distributed across a broad vendor base. Amerisourcebergen leads by potential value at $18.76 billion combined. Most awards are below-threshold or Schedule task orders with minimal individual contract ceiling; potential value is not reported for the majority of recent transactions.

Set-asides are sparse: 97 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business set-asides account for 3 percent of awards; 8(a) sole-source, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone designations each represent less than 1 percent of the portfolio.
