AE Supply LLC

AE Supply LLC, a woman-owned and veteran-owned small business based in Houston, Texas, supplies commercial office supplies, electronics, and consumable equipment to federal agencies exclusively through GSA's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), competing full-and-open against other qualified vendors with no set-aside designations across its entire 3,649-award prime footprint.

AE Supply operates as a straightforward GSA Schedule distributor, sourcing and fulfilling delivery orders for commoditized products rather than developing proprietary capabilities. The company's award portfolio centers on consumables and standard commercial goods: printer toner cartridges and ink (1,603 awards in toner/photographic-chemical manufacturing NAICS), office supplies and stationery, computer peripherals, office furniture, janitorial supplies, and miscellaneous break-room or facilities equipment. Representative work includes a $5.1 million order for Unison black toner (11,000 page-yield) to Naval Supply Systems Command in June 2025; a $9.9 million magenta toner cartridge delivery order to Fleet Cyber Command in May 2025; a $100 thousand gigabit ethernet card order from the Air Force in May 2025; and recurring multi-hundred to low-thousands-of-dollars task orders for kraft folders, laminating pouches, surge protectors, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards, cable assemblies, and similar stocked items across Navy and defense health agencies. Most delivery orders carry ceiling values under five thousand dollars and completion dates within weeks, reflecting the transactional nature of GSA schedule purchasing.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of the Navy activities. The top five customers account for 43% of the 3,649 awards by count: the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (588 awards, $398 thousand combined value), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (426 awards, $1.6 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (257 awards, $200 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (206 awards, $253 thousand), and Fleet Cyber Command (108 awards, $119 thousand). By potential value, the Navy's four components represent approximately three-quarters of the dollars, with GSA FAS anchoring the remainder. AE Supply serves 193 distinct federal agencies, but the active portfolio concentrates within Navy procurement offices, military medical and surgical commands, and defense logistics functions.

All 3,649 awards sit on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) as delivery orders, representing the sole parent vehicle and the exclusive contracting mechanism for AE Supply's federal work. The MAS structure provides broad access to civilian and defense agencies; the high award count paired with small individual order values reflects the vehicle's design for routine, competitive, low-dollar supplies procurement.

Activity has remained relatively flat and mature. The company recorded 299 awards in 2022, declining to 233 in 2023, recovering slightly to 247 in 2024 and 253 in 2025. The year-to-date 2026 total of 18 awards reflects only the first week of July. Combined potential value across all 3,649 awards totals $10.1 million, with $3.6 million (36%) obligated to date—a ratio typical of GSA schedule vehicles where agencies issue delivery orders against indefinite ceiling values. AE Supply holds no subcontractor relationships in the federal space and receives no sub-awards; it operates solely as a prime GSA Schedule contractor fulfilling orders placed directly by federal agencies. The vendor's federal footprint is defined entirely by its GSA MAS registration since 2008 and the transactional purchasing patterns of 193 agencies procuring commercial goods against that vehicle.
