Daniel R. Chisholm

Daniel R. Chisholm, doing business as State-Side Auto Supply, supplies automotive parts, tires, tools, and vehicle maintenance equipment to the U.S. Department of State as a sole proprietor competing on a full-and-open basis across 485 prime purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates from Tilton, New Hampshire and carries no SBA designations; all awards reflect firm fixed-price, full-and-open competition with no set-asides.

State-Side Auto Supply's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely within the Department of State. The top five customers by award count account for 77% of all awards: the Bureau of African Affairs leads with 104 awards worth $957 thousand, followed by a separate Department of State administrative line with 99 awards worth $687 thousand, the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs with 89 awards worth $1.3 million, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs with 45 awards worth $351 thousand, and the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs with 35 awards worth $210 thousand. By potential value, the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs anchors the portfolio at $1.3 million across 89 awards, with the Bureau of African Affairs second at $957 thousand. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, and Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs round out the active set. Combined potential value across all 485 awards totals $4.3 million, with $4.3 million obligated to date.

Representative work spans vehicle parts replenishment and specialized equipment supply. A June 2026 purchase order from the U.S. Embassy Manila valued at $15,600 covered six run-flat tires for a BMW X5 government vehicle with place of performance in the Philippines. A June 2025 Department of State award for $18,505 provided tires for armored vehicles assigned to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. A $50,012 purchase order from the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs in March 2023 covered ICASS motor pool tire stock. Other recurring work includes automotive parts stock replenishment for Chevrolet Suburbans and Jeeps supporting diplomatic missions overseas, Jeep engine parts, suspension components, transmission assemblies, welding machines and tools for residences, workshop diagnostic equipment, and specialized facility items such as LED fixtures and inspection lights for chancery buildings. Place of performance typically centers on Tilton, New Hampshire, with some equipment and supplies shipped to overseas posts.

State-Side Auto Supply sits on three blanket purchase agreements within the Department of State: SEG30013A0033 (8 task orders, $54 thousand combined value), SEG30014A0010 (7 task orders, $40 thousand combined value), and SEG30015A0031 (1 task order, $6 thousand combined value). The overwhelming majority of awards are spot purchase orders rather than standing vehicle positions.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor received nine awards in 2022, peaked at 21 awards in 2023, dropped to 17 in 2024, fell to four in 2025, and has recorded only one award as of June 2026. No awards complete within the next twenty-four months; most historical purchase orders carried completion dates between one and six months from award, reflecting the consumable and rapid-turnover nature of the parts and supplies. The vendor's business model centers on small-dollar, high-frequency transactional work supporting overseas vehicle fleet maintenance and facility provisioning within the Department of State's International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS) program structure. The vendor has operated continuously in this space since 2001, accumulating 485 total awards.
