Ars Sales & Services LLC

Ars Sales & Services LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Minneola, Florida, supplies medical devices, surgical instruments, and medical consumables to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations applied across the footprint.

The vendor's federal award footprint consists entirely of prime contract work — 15,457 awards spanning purchase orders and a single indefinite delivery contract, with no subcontract revenue. DLA Troop Support Medical dominates the customer base, accounting for 14,001 awards (90% of the total count) with $12.5 million in combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and DLA Troop Support Hardware comprise the remaining 10 percent of activity. The top five customer components within DLA collectively represent 100 percent of awards. Across the recent award portfolio, $12.1 million has been obligated against a $17.9 million combined potential value — a 68 percent obligation rate reflecting the vendor's position supplying consumables and small medical equipment on an ongoing basis.

Ars Sales & Services LLC specializes in surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (4,419 awards) and surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (3,028 awards), with significant depth in pharmaceutical preparations (1,235 awards) and medical equipment and supplies wholesale (1,088 awards). Representative recent work includes a $14,500 purchase order for suture needles awarded June 8, 2026, a $12,644.50 order for intraosseous infusion equipment awarded June 5, 2026, a $9,438.50 coronavirus test kit order under Total Small Business set-aside awarded May 19, 2026, and a $8,400 antimicrobial wound gel order awarded June 11, 2026. Performance occurs primarily in Minneola, Florida, with one suture needle order performed in Brooklyn, New York. The vendor operates across five primary DLA IDCs: IDC SPE2DH16D5016 (764 task orders, $10 thousand combined potential value), IDC SPE2DH18D5025 (389 task orders, $48 thousand combined potential value), IDC SPE2DP16D5002 (354 task orders, $27 thousand combined potential value), IDC SPE7M816D5006 (251 task orders, $25 thousand combined potential value), and IDC SPE2DH19D5009 (221 task orders, $7 thousand combined potential value). The vendor also holds a single-award IDC (SPE2DH24D5013) with DLA Aviation, set aside for total small businesses, carrying a $250,000 ceiling and a final order date of January 29, 2025, under which it supplies non-rechargeable batteries and incandescent lamps.

Award volume has declined from 1,213 in 2022 to 491 in 2026 year-to-date — a 60 percent reduction over four years — reflecting either market compression in medical supply contracting or a shift in vendor positioning. The vendor's clinical product mix — spanning protective eyewear, surgical gloves, examination equipment, diagnostic test kits, infusion supplies, wound dressings, and anesthesia equipment — maps closely to DLA Troop Support Medical's consumable supply mission for military treatment facilities worldwide.
