The company operates almost exclusively within the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 454 awards (92% of volume) and $14.1 million of the $14.7 million combined potential value across the award footprint.

The award portfolio is dominated by small-value delivery orders and purchase orders under Indefinite Delivery Contracts, with individual orders typically ranging from under $1,000 to $15,000. The company's capability footprint consists entirely of pneumatic tire valves, tire inflation valves, valve extensions, and related pneumatic accessories identified by National Stock Numbers in the 8500–8511 series, with manufacturing and performance conducted at the Oxford facility.

Dill Air Controls holds a portfolio of 20+ active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000, with approximately 12 designated as Total Small Business set-asides and 8 awarded under full and open competition.

Activity has declined over the past five years, declining from 51 awards in 2022 to 27 in 2025 and 2 in early 2026. Only one award has an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The company received federal grant support totaling approximately $881,977 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services for renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives, with an additional Renewable Energy System grant under the Inflation Reduction Act awarded September 11, 2024, with a completion date of September 11, 2026. Dill Air Controls has been registered in the System for Award Management since April 2005 and is classified under NAICS 326211 (Tire Manufacturing, except Retreading) and NAICS 333912 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), with the award portfolio concentrated under PSC code for Tire Rebuilding and Tire and Tube Repair Materials (461 awards). The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open solicitations but wins a material share of orders under Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting its consistent small business status and established position as a critical supplier within DLA's defense logistics infrastructure for military equipment maintenance and operational readiness.
