Cospolich Inc.

Cospolich Inc., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Destrehan, Louisiana, is a small business prime contractor that designs and manufactures specialized galley equipment and refrigeration products for military and maritime applications, with nearly all awards (4,854 of 4,861 total) issued as prime contracts under firm fixed-price terms. The company does not hold SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB); instead, it competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, which account for approximately 35–40 percent of its prime federal awards, with the remainder issued on full-and-open competitive basis. Since its initial federal award in 1989, Cospolich has accumulated over 4,860 awards with combined potential value of $129.3 million, obligating $50.6 million to date.

Cospolich's capability portfolio centers on mechanical refrigerators, freezers, cold food counters, hot food wells, condensing units, food warming cabinets, and electronic controllers—all engineered specifically for military dining facilities, naval vessels, aircraft carriers, and Coast Guard operations. Representative work includes a $209.2 million Total Small Business purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Subsistence in October 2025 for mechanical refrigerators (NSN 4110015053463) to be delivered to Naval Weapons Systems Support facilities, a $118.2 million non-set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in October 2025 for special controller components (NSN 2920016917623) with 161-day delivery windows, and a $106.7 million full-and-open purchase order from DLA Subsistence in October 2025 for mechanical refrigerators destined for Naval Air Force Pacific with five-day expedited delivery. Individual orders typically range from $1,159 to $35,470 and are completed within three to six months of issuance.

Customer concentration is extreme and highly skewed to DLA Subsistence. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division represents 4,058 awards (83.4 percent of the prime footprint) valued at $71.6 million (55.3 percent of combined potential value). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard ranks second with 199 awards and $2.7 million, followed by DLA Land and Maritime (112 awards, $3.2 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (104 awards, $2.3 million), and the Pacific Fleet Forces (61 awards, $733 thousand). However, GSA Federal Acquisition Service's two awards carry $44.3 million in combined potential value, signaling that while Cospolich has minimal presence on government-wide vehicles, it holds at least one high-value GSA contract. The top five customer agencies by count account for 93 percent of all awards; by dollar value, they account for 96 percent.

Cospolich holds five active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA Subsistence, each valued at $250,000, with completion dates ranging from June 2026 through March 2027. These Total Small Business set-aside IDVs authorize the procurement of mechanical freezers, cold food counters, hot food wells, refrigerators, condensing units, food warming cabinets, and electronic controllers, and enable the DLA to issue task orders without competitive re-solicitation. The largest parent vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3SE15D0001, which carries 1,308 task orders valued at $9.8 million. Cospolich also maintains a position on GSA Federal Acquisition Service Schedule GS07F9655G with 180 task orders generating $2.1 million. The recompete cliff shows 30 awards completing in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $1.2 million—relatively modest exposure given the broad footprint.

Award activity has remained steady to growing. The company issued 472 awards in 2022, declined to 345 in 2024, then rebounded to 435 in 2025. The first two weeks of 2026 already show 121 awards recorded in the source data, on pace for sustained volume. All work is performed at Cospolich's manufacturing facility in Destrehan, Louisiana; no subcontractors are named across the displayed awards except for one funded ceiling increase under a Delphinus Engineering, Inc. prime contract for galley equipment awarded in January 2025.

Cospolich competes across PSC codes anchored in refrigeration equipment (2,218 awards), food preparation and serving kits (1,248 awards), and food cooking, baking, and serving equipment (629 awards). NAICS concentration is split between Food Product Machinery Manufacturing (2,557 awards) and Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment / Commercial Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (1,725 awards), with smaller presence in ship building, repairing, and grocery wholesale. The company's twenty-plus-year history of federal contracting, consistent task order execution under standing DLA IDVs, and expedited delivery capability to active naval vessels position it as DLA Subsistence's primary single-source provider for galley equipment. Approximately 35–40 percent of recent prime awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, reflecting both the company's continued qualification and DLA's preference for small-business procurement vehicles in this commodity space.
