About Black & Company
Black & Company, an Indianapolis-based for-profit subsidiary of Black & Co, supplies electronic equipment, maintenance tools, and hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal logistics customers as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations on the vast majority of awards, though it has secured two Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders in recent years.
Black & Company's footprint is dominated by DLA buying across multiple divisions. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 55% of recent awards, anchored by the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (4,563 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army (3,035 awards, $434 thousand), and the United States Marine Corps (2,060 awards, $3.9 million). However, the potential-value ranking diverges sharply: GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads by dollars ($112.6 million across 674 awards), followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($5.2 million across 507 awards) and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command ($4.8 million across 239 awards). This concentration in GSA dollars reflects Black & Company's deep presence on Federal Supply Schedule GSS20F6015H, which carries 6,426 task orders.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on industrial supplies, hand tools, electronic components, and maintenance items — electric soldering irons, degreaser, flashlights, temperature indicators, electrostatic discharge mats, photographic cases, safety lanyards, adhesives, sealing compounds, and circuit card assemblies are representative examples. The vendor holds two $250,000 indefinite-delivery vehicle contracts with DLA Land and Maritime for electrostatic discharge mats and electric soldering irons, and places routine purchase orders valued from under $100 to roughly $25,000 across DLA Construction and Equipment, Land and Maritime, Aviation, Medical Supply Chain, Clothing and Textiles, and Troop Support divisions. Recent named contracts include a $15,919.84 degreaser order from DLA Land and Maritime (Total Small Business set-aside, September 2023), a $13,039.68 gasket-forming-components order also under Total Small Business (July 2023), and a $606,000 searchlight purchase from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (August 2023).
Activity has moderated in recent years — 37 awards in 2023, declining to 16 in 2024 and 5 in 2025, with only 4 awards recorded in 2026 to date. The vendor's primary vehicle concentration sits on GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS20F6015H (6,426 task orders, $2.4 million combined potential value) and multiple GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements, indicating broad GSA catalog presence. The top NAICS categories are Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing (12,748 awards) and Abrasive Product Manufacturing (1,422 awards), with top PSC codes centered on Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered (12,535 awards) and Wallboard, Building Paper, and Thermal Insulation Materials (1,380 awards). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $161.1 million, with $34.3 million obligated (21% of potential), across 20,438 total prime awards and 151 distinct federal customer agencies. Black & Company operates solely as a prime contractor with no recorded subcontract footprint in the source data.
