DLA Troop Support

DLA Troop Support, a division of the Defense Logistics Agency within the Department of Defense, is a federal government entity that procures and distributes pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical supplies, medical equipment, and related materiel to federal agencies on full-and-open, non-set-aside terms as a prime contractor across 176 federal awards totaling $713.2 million in combined potential value. With a place of performance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, DLA Troop Support operates as a federal supply agent and does not compete under any SBA set-aside categories.

Customer concentration is extreme and decision-defining. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Clinical Center dominates the portfolio, accounting for 65 of 176 total awards (37% of award count) and $699.2 million of $713.2 million in combined potential value (98% of all dollars). This single customer generates nearly all portfolio value; the remaining 111 awards across 34 other agencies total less than $14 million. Within the NIH Clinical Center relationship, DLA Troop Support holds recurring contracts for pharmaceuticals and related supplies serving the Clinical Center Pharmacy Department. Recent representative awards include a $77.4 million definitive contract for pharmaceuticals and related supplies (awarded April 10, 2026, ultimate completion April 9, 2027), a $93.5 million additional-funding definitive contract for pharmaceuticals and related supplies to the Pharmacy Department (awarded February 6, 2025, ultimate completion November 12, 2025), and a $4.48 million firm fixed-price definitive contract for medical and surgical supplies (awarded October 1, 2025, ultimate completion September 30, 2026). The second-largest customer cluster is the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons system, which accounts for 49 awards totaling approximately $6 million across multiple Federal Correctional Complex and Federal Correctional Institution locations. Representative Bureau of Prisons awards include a $527,274 purchase order for x-ray machines to Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (awarded September 18, 2026), a $1.39 million purchase order for three digital x-ray machines and one portable x-ray machine to Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (awarded August 14, 2024, ultimate completion December 31, 2025), and a $782,346 purchase order for digital x-ray machines to Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (awarded October 1, 2022, ultimate completion July 17, 2024).

Portfolio activity has declined significantly in recent years. DLA Troop Support recorded 14 awards in 2022, declining to 4 awards in 2023, 3 in 2024, and 4 in both 2025 and 2026. The recompete cliff presents material exposure: 3 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $78.2 million, nearly all from the NIH Clinical Center pharmaceuticals contracts. The portfolio spans diverse product categories across medical, pharmaceutical, apparel, and ancillary equipment supply: leading NAICS codes include Other Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (34 awards), Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (31 awards), and Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (30 awards). PSC distribution reflects the same mix, with Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies leading at 40 awards, followed by Yarn and Thread (34 awards) and Drugs and Biologicals (33 awards). DLA Troop Support operates as a 100% prime contractor with no sub-award presence in the source data and is a child entity within the Government of the United States organizational structure.
