DLA Document Services

DLA Document Services, a child division of the Defense Logistics Agency operating under the doing-business-as name Daps Document Automation Production Services, manufactures military training targets, target accessories, and printed materials for federal agencies as a prime contractor on government-owned production contracts. The entity is a U.S. Government Entity—a federally owned division with no private ownership and no SBA set-aside eligibility—performing work from facilities in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with administrative headquarters in Fairview Township, Pennsylvania.

DLA Document Services operates almost entirely on firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders issued by the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division. The vendor's concrete product portfolio centers on armament training devices: silhouette targets, bull's-eye targets, machine gun targets, zeroing targets, target pasters, target repair services, identification markers, instructional card sets, and log books. Representative work includes a $130.6 thousand delivery order for zeroing targets (January 2026), a $79.1 thousand delivery order for identification markers (September 2025), a $251 thousand purchase order for memorandum books (July 2025), and a $996.2 thousand purchase order for memorandum books (July 2025). Work also extends to log books, labels, and other military training support materials.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division accounts for 6,546 of 7,551 total awards (97% of the portfolio) and $20.6 million of the $31.9 million combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware division places 528 awards worth $5.9 million. The Office of Personnel Management accounts for 209 awards totaling $3.5 million. These three customers represent 97% of recent activity. All other federal agencies combined—the Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force, Department of Justice, and 42 other agencies—represent a negligible share of revenue and transaction volume.

DLA Document Services sits on one dominant parent contract vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM50004DDAPS, which carries 6,754 task orders valued at $16.5 million combined potential value. A second IDC, SP050004DDAPS, holds 263 task orders. The vendor receives no task orders on commercial schedules, government-wide acquisition contracts, or blanket purchase agreements managed outside the Defense Logistics Agency.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor received 638 awards in 2022, 446 in 2023, 382 in 2024, 227 in 2025, and 104 through mid-April 2026—a 76% drop over three years. This trajectory reflects a shift in Department of Defense procurement practices rather than performance failure; DLA Document Services' contracts consistently close on or before their scheduled completion dates. Recent awards are clustered in the January through April 2026 window, with most ultimate completion dates falling between February and June 2026.

As a government entity performing 100% of its own work, DLA Document Services maintains no subcontractor footprint and generates no private-sector prime relationships. The division operates as both prime contractor and sole performer on all awards, with no external subs or team partners named in the award portfolio. Obligated dollars ($38 million) exceed combined potential value ($31.9 million), indicating that many awards have been executed at or above ceiling value through volume ordering.
