Alrai Waleed

Alrai Waleed Rai Trading Division, doing business as Rai Trading, supplies mechanical components and fluid power system parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive purchase orders, with no parent contract vehicles, no subcontract footprint, and no set-aside designations despite its self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business status.

Rai Trading is a sole proprietorship based in Sacramento, California, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business. The vendor's business address is registered in the United Arab Emirates; all federal work is performed in Sacramento. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since September 2009. Across its federal portfolio, Rai Trading competes exclusively on full-and-open competitive basis — none of its 75 awards carry set-aside designations, despite its dual SBA designations.

Rai Trading's capability footprint is narrowly focused on industrial fluid power components. The vendor supplies valves (compressor, globe, solenoid, safety relief, gate, regulating, flow control, disk), valve seats, valve stems, valve assemblies, valve retainers, fluid power adapters, elbows, tube assemblies, compensator retainers, impellers, pump assemblies, manifolds, straps, and hexagon head cap screws — all standardized mechanical hardware items procured on firm fixed-price basis. Representative recent awards include a $29,850 disk valve purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025), a $12,999 centrifugal pump impeller from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2024), and an $8,680 fluid valve stem from DLA Land and Maritime (June 2025). The vendor also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (SPE4A623D60TC) with DLA Aviation, valued at $250,000 with a completion date of May 14, 2024, for hexagon head cap screws at approximately four delivery orders per year.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency driven. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 66 awards and $341 thousand in combined potential value; DLA Aviation accounts for 6 awards and $261 thousand. Together, these two DLA subdivisions represent 100% of the vendor's award portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment each account for one award ($7 thousand, $31 thousand, and $1 thousand respectively). Top NAICS categories are Industrial Valve Manufacturing (37 awards) and Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing (11 awards); top PSC is Valves, Nonpowered (43 awards).

Activity has grown in recent years. The vendor received three awards in 2022, two in 2023, eleven in 2024, twelve in 2025, and four in the first quarter of 2026. Combined potential value across all 75 awards is $641 thousand, with $391 thousand obligated (61% of potential value). Individual purchase orders range from $392 to $29,850 in ceiling value. Rai Trading has no parent contract vehicles in its current portfolio beyond the single DLA Aviation IDC, no subcontract relationships, and no teaming arrangements reported in the source. The vendor's entire federal footprint reflects direct prime supplier relationships with DLA divisions on transactional purchase orders for standardized industrial components supporting military logistics and equipment maintenance.
