Blue Cord Logistic Strategies Inc.

Blue Cord Logistic Strategies Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Goshen, Indiana, operates as an SDVOSB prime contractor exclusively, procuring and delivering specialized electro-mechanical components and defense-related parts to the Defense Logistics Agency under firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders. The company competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and holds no identified subcontracting relationships across its 1,898 federal awards spanning ten years.

Blue Cord's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within a single federal agency. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 100 percent of awards, split across five operational branches: Land and Maritime (1,273 awards, $75.7 million combined potential value), Aviation (438 awards, $15.5 million), Troop Support Hardware (117 awards, $2.9 million), Troop Support Construction and Equipment (69 awards, $2.5 million), and headquarters (1 award). This concentration reflects Blue Cord's strategic positioning as a specialized vendor within DLA's defense supply chain rather than a government-wide contractor. The award volume and dollar alignment are identical across both rankings, indicating consistent customer demand across both metrics.

Blue Cord's capability portfolio centers on the procurement and delivery of standardized military components across industrial valve manufacturing, aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, hardware items, ordnance accessories, and sealing and packing materials. Representative work includes a $752,022.13 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for electro-mechanical actuators under SDVOSB set-aside (awarded February 12, 2026), a $256,265.90 purchase order for safety relief valves under SDVOSB set-aside (February 3, 2026), a $275,968.09 purchase order for wire cable support components (January 14, 2026), and a $249,660.00 purchase order for air duct hoses under SDVOSB set-aside (March 20, 2025). Individual awards range from approximately $3,000 to over $750,000, with the majority falling between $20,000 and $150,000. The top five product categories by award count are valves (167 awards), bushings and spacers (91 awards), packing and gasket materials (89 awards), switches (84 awards), and hose and fitting components (81 awards).

Blue Cord maintains four primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: a $5.245 million single-award IDC for electro-mechanical actuators and related equipment (awarded February 10, 2023, extending through February 9, 2028), a $250,000 IDC for rotary relays (September 10, 2025, through September 10, 2026), a $250,000 IDC for connector and rod end components (November 4, 2024, through November 4, 2025), and a $250,000 IDC for vehicular splash guards (expired October 4, 2023). The actuators IDC anchors Blue Cord's relationship with DLA, with twenty documented delivery orders issued between March 2023 and August 2025 ranging from $105,000 to $308,000. Against the smaller IDCs, task orders have been issued at lower volumes, typically one to four orders annually. The top five parent vehicles by task order count are two Request for Quote vehicles (SPE4A218D0052 with 32 orders for $137 thousand and SPE4A621D0075 with 23 orders for $143 thousand), the primary $5.245 million actuators IDC (21 task orders, $3.5 million), and two additional RFQ vehicles with 17 and 13 orders respectively.

Activity has remained stable over the past five years at 149–182 awards annually, with a recent deceleration: 2022 carried 149 awards, 2023 had 150, 2024 increased to 182, but 2025 dropped to 90 awards and 2026 (as of mid-April) shows only 14 awards. This decline may signal seasonal variation or potential recompete activity. Twenty-three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $2.7 million, representing modest recompete exposure given Blue Cord's overall $96.5 million portfolio.

As a pure SDVOSB firm with no identified subcontractors, Blue Cord operates at the prime contractor level only, receiving all work directly from DLA through competitive SDVOSB set-aside solicitations. The company's SDVOSB designation recurs consistently across all major award vehicles and contract types, marking it as a beneficiary of federal small business socioeconomic policy supporting service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs in defense logistics. All work is performed in Goshen, Indiana, with delivery to Continental United States and Outside Continental United States DLA depots, typically requiring 63 to 547 days from order placement depending on item complexity and quantity. Blue Cord has held active SAM.gov registration through at least July 2026 and operates as a Subchapter S corporation.
