Ars Sales & Services LLC

Ars Sales & Services LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) and joint venture WOSB based in Minneola, Florida, operates as a sole proprietorship delivering medical supplies, surgical instruments, diagnostics, and consumables to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes entirely in full-and-open competitions without set-aside designation on the vast majority of its federal work, though it qualifies for and holds one Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation valued at $250,000 for non-rechargeable batteries and incandescent lamps.

Ars Sales & Services LLC's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical accounts for 13,781 awards (90% of the vendor's 15,233 total awards) and $12.3 million of the combined potential value across its $17.7 million federal footprint. The next four DLA components—Land and Maritime, Aviation, Construction and Equipment, and Hardware—account for the remaining awards. This concentration reflects a transactional, high-volume vendor model: the vendor receives hundreds of small purchase orders monthly for individual line items rather than prime contracts or larger IDCs. The average order value across the recent award population is approximately $1,160, with most orders ranging from under $100 to $5,000. The vendor's $12 million obligated value against $17.7 million potential value indicates firm payment performance at 68% obligation, typical for an active medical supply distributor with recurring monthly demand.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on medical consumables and instruments procured by NSN (National Stock Number). The top five NAICS categories across its award history are Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (4,322 awards), Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (2,978 awards), Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (1,232 awards), Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (1,075 awards), and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (782 awards). PSC categories reflect the same emphasis: Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (4,896 awards), Surgical Dressing Materials (2,011 awards), Drugs and Biologicals (1,489 awards), Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (1,467 awards), and In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits and Sets (986 awards). Representative recent orders include elastic bandages ($5,974), petrolatum gauze ($26,274), laryngoscope sets ($19,575), oronasal masks ($1,477), blood grouping serum ($1,180), tracheostomy tubes ($1,598), industrial spectacles ($9,091), applicator bottles ($16,066), headband flashlights ($3,283), and labels, sanitizers, suture kits, diagnostic test kits, ankle braces, and surgical drapes ranging from under $50 to several thousand dollars per order.

The vendor's vehicle footprint is dominated by five DLA indefinite delivery contracts: SPE2DH16D5016 (764 task orders, $10 thousand combined potential value), SPE2DH18D5025 (389 task orders, $48 thousand), SPE2DP16D5002 (354 task orders, $27 thousand), SPE7M816D5006 (251 task orders, $25 thousand), and SPE2DH19D5009 (221 task orders, $7 thousand). The single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for batteries and lamps (4610108887, awarded January 30, 2024, set-aside Total Small Business, ceiling $250,000, last order date January 29, 2025) is the only vehicle explicitly named in the source material. Activity has declined year over year—1,213 awards in 2022 to 901 in 2024, with 941 in 2025 and 267 through mid-April 2026. The vendor holds no subcontract positions and has received no grants.
