The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $1,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to Beam Distributing, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, for photographic cases. The contract was awarded on February 3, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 5, 2026, and will be performed in Ashland, Virginia. No set-aside designation was utilized for this procurement, allowing competition across all eligible contractors. Beam Distributing, registered as a federal contractor since August 2001, specializes in supplying specialized protective cases and equipment logistics solutions to federal government agencies, with particular expertise in photographic cases, medical instrument cases, small arms cases, and operational support equipment.

This purchase order represents a typical transactional procurement within Beam Distributing's established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which has previously awarded the company an indefinite delivery contract with a $250,000 ceiling value through March 2026 for small arms protective cases. The contractor's extensive federal contract portfolio demonstrates consistent capability in meeting specialized equipment procurement requirements across multiple Department of Defense components and civilian agencies, with prior awards ranging from under $300 to over $200,000 in value. The photographic case procurement aligns with the company's core competency in protective transportation and storage equipment and supports the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to provide efficient supply chain solutions for critical defense operations.
