Darbonnier Tactical Supply LLC

Darbonnier Tactical Supply LLC, doing business as DTS, is a service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned small business certified under the SBA 8(a) Program that supplies tactical equipment, military apparel, protective gear, and specialized accessories to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). DTS operates from Oak Harbor, Washington, as a limited liability company and competes predominantly under set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with 8(a) and EDWOSB designations recurring across its prime footprint.

DTS's federal work centers on three concrete capability streams: industrial and safety protective equipment (spectacles, goggles, industrial safety gear); tactical uniforms, flight apparel, and cold weather gear (flyer's jackets, survival suits, immersion suits, cold weather jackets and pants); and specialized tactical accessories (holsters, tactical vests, hydration systems, life preservers). Recent prime awards include a $631,719.60 purchase order from Air Education and Training Command for Crye Precision and First Spear body armor, Team Wendy ballistic helmets, and related protective equipment (April 2026); a $348,300 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Construction and Equipment for 7,500 units of safety glasses under a Total Small Business set-aside (March 2026); a $726,300 delivery order from Air Force Global Strike Command for cold weather gear to the 91st Special Operations Flight Group (January 2026); and a $168,080 purchase order for 1,000 units of SAWFLY ballistic eyewear to Naval Construction Group 2 under an EDWOSB set-aside (February 2026).

Customer concentration is acute and anchored by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, which accounts for 18,297 awards and $93.9 million of combined potential value across the portfolio—approximately 55% of all awards and 55% of total potential value. The next-largest customer tiers differ by metric: by award count, DLA Clothing and Textiles (721 awards, $4.9 million) and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (223 awards, $30.6 million) follow, but GSA's potential-value ranking is much higher (second at $30.6 million) due to larger individual delivery orders for special purpose clothing, tactical vests, and tactical pack procurement to Air Force commands. The Department of the Air Force and its subordinate commands (Air Combat Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, Global Strike Command, Air Forces Europe and Africa) collectively place sustained orders across multiple installations for cold weather and tactical apparel. Across the top five customer agencies by both count and value, coverage reaches 98% of recent awards and 86% of combined potential value, indicating significant concentration risk.

DTS operates under five primary contracting vehicles. The dominant vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract SP47W121D0036, a single-award contract with DLA Troop Support, which has generated 10,329 task orders carrying $12.7 million in combined potential value and runs through September 2029; this is DLA's FedMall COTS Products 2024–2029 vehicle for non-NSN (non-National Stock Number) materials. DTS also holds a second single-award IDC (SP47W118D0024) with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles for flyer's jackets, valued at $249,942 and running through May 2027, which has generated 4,527 task orders and $5 million in potential value. A third IDC (SP47W120D0007) with DLA Troop Support accounts for 3,247 task orders and $4.3 million. The General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicle holds 553 task orders carrying $22.1 million in potential value, spanning deliveries to the Air Force, Navy, Air Forces Europe and Africa, Transportation Security Administration, and other agencies for special purpose clothing, cold weather gear, and tactical equipment. DTS also participates in the DLA FedMall COTS Products 2024–2029 IDIQ on a multi-award basis, with 399 task orders valued at $1.4 million.

Award activity has declined sharply in recent years. DTS issued 4,421 prime awards in 2022, 4,024 in 2023, 2,448 in 2024, 574 in 2025, and 82 awards year-to-date through June 2026. This decline reflects both the nature of high-volume, small-dollar EMALL delivery orders (which have matured in volume) and potential competitive or performance pressures. Within the next twenty-four months, thirteen awards with combined potential value of $1.3 million reach ultimate completion date, exposing DTS to modest recompete activity on its smaller vehicles. The single-award flyer's jacket IDC ($249,942, completion May 2027) remains outside the immediate recompete window but anchors seasonal procurement for flight personnel across multiple Air Force installations.

DTS operates as a parent entity; corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries—DTS P&L JV2 and Dts-P&L JV—both structured as joint ventures carrying similar women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and EDWOSB certifications. One sub-award appears in the source: a March 2025 sub-contract under prime DTS P&L JV2 for repair and general conditions work at Naval Station Great Lakes. The subcontracting footprint is minimal (13 of 20,039 awards, less than 0.1%), signaling that DTS operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor rather than as a subcontractor to larger primes.

DTS's portfolio is heavily weighted toward small-dollar, high-volume purchases. The top NAICS codes reflect this: All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (18,532 awards), Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (705 awards), and converted paper products (570 awards). The top PSC is Hardware, Commercial (18,506 awards), driven by the EMALL non-NSN materials ordering stream. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $60.1 million, or 35% of the $170.8 million combined potential value, indicating that many task orders are issued but not yet drawn or invoiced. The company has served 69 distinct customer agencies, though concentration with DLA and the Air Force accounts for the vast majority of transaction value and count.
