Chester Supply, LLC

Chester Supply, LLC Chester Supply Division, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned limited liability company based in Ballwin and Manchester, Missouri, sells electrical components, industrial supplies, and specialized military systems parts to federal agencies as a prime contractor across both full-and-open and small business set-aside procurements. The vendor operates predominantly through the GSA Federal Acquisition Service multiple-award schedule and direct purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency, competing in roughly 98% small business set-asides across its recent footprint.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on electrical components and industrial equipment procurement and delivery. Recent representative work includes a $1.3 million total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for an isolation transformer to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (June 2024), a $76,092 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for computer subassemblies (September 2025), and a $37,533 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for motor starters (May 2026). Beyond components, Chester Supply holds a $475,000 GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (through April 2029) and a $350,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime (February 2026–February 2027) for specialized connector products. The vendor also fulfilled a $12,379.68 purchase order from the United States Mint for Siemens software support (September 2024) and supplies lighting system components and other commercial-grade products through GSA to civilian agencies.

Customer concentration is extreme: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 1,999 awards (87% of recent volume) with $21.8 million combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places 192 awards worth $2.7 million. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation round out the active set but represent minimal volume by comparison. The gap between award count and dollar ranking reflects GSA's heavy reliance on small-dollar blanket purchase agreements and task orders; a single $1.3 million naval order anchors most of the non-GSA potential value.

Activity has been volatile: 261 awards in 2022 jumped to 1,772 in 2023, then collapsed to 23 in 2024 and 53 in 2025, with 38 awarded in 2026 through mid-July. This pattern reflects GSA schedule dynamics rather than vendor capability loss—the spike in 2023 represents a surge in small-dollar GSA Federal Acquisition Service orders, while subsequent years show a return to normalized order frequency. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles beyond the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and the single-award DLA IDIQ noted above; most work flows through direct purchase orders rather than larger indefinite delivery or GWAC relationships.

Top PSC codes align with electrical and component distribution: Sets, Kits, And Outfits Of Hand Tools dominate at 1,997 awards, followed by Circuit Breakers (39), Connectors Electrical (28), and Electrical Hardware And Supplies (26). The hand-tools concentration reflects GSA's catalog structure and may include bundled supply kits; actual work is predominantly electrical components and industrial supplies based on individual award descriptions. Recent obligated dollars ($14.6 million) represent 51% of combined potential value, consistent with a vendor executing a steady backlog of small-order work with predictable delivery timelines.

Chester Supply operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source. The vendor's federal presence is narrow in customer scope—GSA and DLA represent 98% of recent award counts—and relies heavily on set-aside vehicles and small-dollar transactions rather than large enterprise contracts or major teaming arrangements.
