About the company
Dow Cover Co, Incorporated, doing business as Dcci, manufactures specialized military textile products and protective equipment as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, operating under total small business set-asides across its core portfolio. Based in East Haven, Connecticut, Dcci is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation classified under NAICS 314999 (miscellaneous textile product mills) and NAICS 315999 (other apparel accessories manufacturing), competing predominantly under small-business set-asides for DLA Troop Support work.
Dcci's capability footprint centers on absorbent liners for military flying helmets, signal flags, signal pennants, maritime covers, helmet cap sets, flag cases, jungle hammocks, and related military protective textiles. Representative work includes a $129.7 million total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles in June 2025 for 2,011 signal pennants, a $90.7 million total small business set-aside purchase order in October 2024 for 1,500 signal pennants, and a $109.9 million full-and-open purchase order in September 2023 for 1,200 jungle hammocks. All manufacturing and fulfillment occurs at Dcci's facility in East Haven, Connecticut. The company holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles: a $751.1 million single-award IDC running through October 2029 (awarded October 2024, covering helmet cap sets, flags, maritime covers, flag cases, jungle hammocks, and other textile items) and a predecessor $406.4 million IDC running through June 2026 focused on flying helmet liners (awarded June 2021).
Customer concentration is pronounced. The top five customer agencies account for 86% of recent awards, with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles dominating at 209 awards and $17.4 million combined potential value—a concentration that reflects Dcci's specialization in the military textile supply base. The broader Defense Logistics Agency carries 49 awards ($4 million combined value), the Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy 24 awards ($1.9 million), the Department of the Air Force 15 awards, and the Department of the Navy 10 awards. The two customer rankings align tightly; DLA Troop Support anchors both volume and dollars. Dcci serves thirteen distinct agencies in total, but DLA Troop Support drives the business.
Activity has grown modestly but consistently: five awards in 2022, nine in 2023, thirteen in 2024, and fifteen in 2025, with nine awards recorded through March 2026. Six awards (combined potential value $198 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. Dcci's award portfolio spans 356 prime contracts and IDVs with a combined potential value of $1.02 billion, though only $23.9 million (2%) has been obligated to date—a posture consistent with the fixed-price, on-demand nature of DLA small-business purchase orders and delivery orders. Top parent vehicles include five DLA Troop Support IDCs: SPM1C107D0002 (19 task orders, $3 million combined value), SPE1C115D1063 (18 task orders, $454 thousand), SPE1C116D1048 (18 task orders, $364 thousand), SPE1C121D1476 (16 task orders, $369 thousand), and SPM1C111D1021 (10 task orders, $2.6 million).
Dcci operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company has supplied DLA continuously since at least 2002 and maintains an established track record as a dependable supplier of military textile products, with individual order values historically ranging from roughly $700 to $129.7 million. The awards show no federal contract vehicle holdings beyond the two DLA Troop Support IDCs; Dcci competes through direct RFQs and proposal responses within DLA's small-business set-aside framework.
