Dillon Tractor & Implement Company, Inc.

Dillon Tractor & Implement Company, Inc., based in Dillon, South Carolina, operates as a small business prime contractor supplying agricultural machinery and equipment to federal agencies under Total Small Business set-asides, with a concentrated footprint in farm equipment procurement for USDA research facilities and military installations in the Southeast.

The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Dillon Tractor supplies tractors, harvesters, planters, and associated implements—concrete agricultural capital equipment rather than services. The vendor registered in SAM in October 2007 and has sustained a steady procurement relationship with federal customers over two decades, though award frequency has remained modest at one to two awards per fiscal year in recent years.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to USDA. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery program accounts for 12 of 19 total awards and $895 thousand of the combined $1.2 million potential value (75% of the portfolio by dollars). This customer sources specialized farm equipment for research operations at the USDA-ARS Southeast Area facility in Florence, South Carolina and the Clemson Pee Dee Research and Education Center. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (2 awards, $145 thousand) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Bennettsville (4 awards, $115 thousand) comprise the secondary customer set. All four customer agencies are geographic neighbors to the vendor's Dillon base, indicating a local or regional supply-chain positioning rather than national reach.

Recent representative work includes a $522.89 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from USDA-ARS awarded September 22, 2025, for a Harvest Combine with a 6-row 30-inch corn header and 300-400 HP diesel engine to support research at the Coastal Plains Soil, Water & Plant Research Center (ultimate completion November 22, 2025); a $144.96 thousand Department of Defense Southeast Region purchase order awarded March 9, 2026, for a tractor under Total Small Business set-aside (completion April 2, 2026); and a $57.455 thousand USDA-ARS purchase order from February 5, 2026, for a 2026 Monosem 4-row cotton planter with vacuum seed meter system designed to attach via 3-point hitch to existing strip tillage implements (delivery required by April 15, 2026). The vendor's primary NAICS codes reflect equipment supply: Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing (10 awards), Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (4 awards), and Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (2 awards).

No parent contract vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs appear in the award history; all 19 awards are individual purchase orders. Two awards in the next twelve months carry combined potential value of $145 thousand. The vendor does not compete on governmentwide vehicles or hold seats on multiagency platforms.
