Diesel Equipment Company

Diesel Equipment Company, doing business as Diesel Equipment Co, is a woman-owned small business based in Greensboro, North Carolina, that supplies diesel engine components, fuel system parts, filters, gaskets, seals, starters, pumps, and specialized military vehicle components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its prime footprint, with over 99 percent of recent awards designated for small business concerns or issued without set-aside restrictions to DLA divisions.

Diesel Equipment Company's federal work concentrates almost entirely on DLA procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 1,481 awards (69% of the total award count) valued at $25.2 million combined potential value, followed at significant distance by DLA Troop Support Hardware (355 awards, $385 thousand), DLA Aviation (223 awards, $469 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (42 awards, $148 thousand). The top three customer divisions represent 96 percent of combined potential value. Across recent award history, the vendor has supplied fuel system components (365 awards), packing and gasket materials (145 awards), nuts and washers (130 awards), relays and solenoids (113 awards), and diesel engine components (109 awards). Recent representative work includes a $46,876 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for hand engine starters awarded March 23, 2026; a $45,540 Total Small Business purchase order for fuel pump with cam actuator awarded February 14, 2025; and a $39,478 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation for turbo superchargers awarded April 9, 2025.

Diesel Equipment Company holds thirteen single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling and one-year performance periods. Recent IDC awards include a $350,000 Total Small Business contract for filter element fluid components awarded April 8, 2026 (ultimate completion April 8, 2027); a $350,000 Total Small Business contract for engine fuel tanks awarded March 3, 2026 (ultimate completion March 3, 2027); a $350,000 Total Small Business contract for fuel metering pumps awarded October 30, 2025 (ultimate completion October 30, 2026); and a $250,000 Total Small Business contract for electric engine starters awarded September 22, 2025 (ultimate completion September 22, 2026). Delivery orders placed against these vehicles are typically firm fixed-price, with delivery windows ranging from 52 to 167 days, and orders distributed across DLA depots in the Continental United States and overseas consolidation and containerization points. The company estimates DLA places approximately 10 delivery orders annually per contract vehicle.

Activity has declined moderately over the past five years—246 awards in 2022 to 49 awards in 2026 year-to-date—though the decline reflects award-data collection lag rather than strategic pullback; the most recent award is dated April 13, 2026. Three awards totaling $74 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor is 100 percent prime and carries zero subcontractor relationships in the source data. Diesel Equipment Company has maintained continuous federal registration since April 2000 and brings over thirty years of experience supplying critical spare parts and diesel equipment to defense logistics operations across CONUS and OCONUS locations.
