Chand, L.L.C.

Chand, L.L.C., a Louisiana-based limited liability company headquartered in Mathews, supplies specialized mechanical, electrical, and engine-related components to federal defense and logistics agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The vendor competes without set-aside designations in full-and-open federal procurement across a portfolio exceeding 10,150 prime awards since 1991.

Chand's capability footprint centers on spare parts and components for military equipment maintenance: piston rings, gaskets, valves (safety relief, gate, globe, solenoid, angle, check, regulating, and calibrated flow variants), fuel injection nozzles, connecting rods, cylinder heads, bearing assemblies, O-rings, seals, bushings, helical gears, wiper rings, thrust bearing shells, distributor assemblies, valve seats, diesel cylinder heads, expansion joints, exhaust manifolds, and custom marine structural components including doors and hatches. Recent representative work includes a $474.4 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (awarded April 2, 2026) for safety relief valves (NSN 4820013982079, seven units); a $612.2 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded March 5, 2026) for an exhaust manifold; a $326.4 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded March 5, 2026) for distributor assembly components; a $263.4 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded April 6, 2026) for connecting upper rods (12 units, NSN 2815000348265); and a $242.7 million purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded April 6, 2026) for diesel cylinder heads (18 units, NSN 2815014588747). Chand also holds a $3.1 million indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for marine doors supporting the 154-foot Waterfront Patrol Cutter fleet through 2030, with recent delivery orders in February and March 2026 for custom doors and hatches engineered for USCG patrol boat cutters.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 6,398 awards (92% of activity) with $377.4 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation (1,588 awards, $45.4 million). The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, and Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command round out the top five, but DLA dominates both volume and dollars — the top five customers represent 92% of awards. The vendor's work spans CONUS and OCONUS Defense Logistics Agency depots, consolidation and containerization points, naval vessels (USS GUNSTON HALL LSD 44, USS PRINCETON CG 59, USNS Henry J. Kaiser), and DLA Distribution facilities across the continental United States and overseas.

Chand operates under six active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each with $350,000 ceilings expiring between April 1 and April 15, 2027, covering helical retainers, pipe clamp assemblies, piston rings, gasket sets, counterweights, and O-rings. The vendor's award portfolio reflects concentration in engine and mechanical component manufacturing: Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (1,894 awards), Bolt/Nut/Screw/Rivet/Washer Manufacturing (973 awards), Gasket/Packing/Sealing Device Manufacturing (861 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (578 awards) constitute the top four NAICS categories. PSC concentration mirrors this profile, with Diesel Engines and Components (1,525 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (1,068 awards), and Valves/Nonpowered (528 awards) dominating the portfolio.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (1,320 to 1,652 awards annually), though 2026 year-to-date captures only 490 awards through July 15, suggesting a partial-year snapshot. The vendor faces a significant recompete cliff: 567 awards with combined potential value $60.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing turnover risk across its DLA customer base. Recent invoiced revenue and FTE workforce scale are not specified in the source; the vendor's profile rests on sustained high-volume transactional activity with DLA rather than large-contract concentration.
