Eplone General Trading L.l.c

Eplone General Trading L.L.C., a sole proprietorship based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, supplies maintenance consumables, equipment spares, and facility support goods to U.S. military and State Department installations in Africa and the Middle East, operating predominantly as a subcontractor (88% of awards) under logistics and base-operations primes rather than as a direct federal prime contractor.

Eplone competes in the full-and-open market with no SBA set-aside designations across its award footprint. The vendor's capability profile centers on recurring supplies for forward-operating military installations — HVAC components and window air-conditioning units, janitorial consumables (toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies), generator equipment and filters, galleys and dining facility consumables, construction materials, and vehicle equipment. Recent prime awards include a $37,516 purchase order from the Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs for computer equipment (ultimate completion August 2027) and a $12,530 purchase order from the same bureau for a truck wash station (completed September 2025). The majority of Eplone's engagement, however, runs through subcontracts to two large logistics primes: KBR Services, LLC (29 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247017D4012) and Fluor Intercontinental, Inc. (13 task orders under Logistics Civil Augmentation Program V, or LOGCAP V). Under KBR, Eplone supplies recurring maintenance goods for Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti (CLDJ), including Option Year 7 recurring work for HVAC units, paper products, disposable gloves, trash bags, Caterpillar generator filters, and printer consumables. Under Fluor, Eplone supplies LOGCAP V base life support and facility maintenance materials at Manda Bay, Kenya and Camp Chabelley, Djibouti, including power generation parts, DFAC (dining facility) consumables, and environmental control components.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward U.S. military installations in Africa. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Naval Installations Command together account for 32 of the vendor's 52 awards (61% of award count), followed by the Department of the Air Force (9 awards), Department of the Army (4 awards), and Department of State (6 awards split between the Bureau of African Affairs and Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs). Combined potential value across all awards is $185 thousand, but obligated dollars total $2.9 million — a 1,575% multiple indicating heavy repeat ordering and task order execution against small potential-value contract lines. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $38 thousand), indicating a stable, low-recompete pipeline.

Eplone's subcontract activity with KBR and Fluor spans 2023 through August 2026, with awards accelerating sharply in 2025 (26 awards versus 11 in 2024). The vendor's footprint is narrowly specialized: facilities support services account for 43 of 52 awards, with the remainder split among building construction, vehicle manufacturing, and machinery categories. Performance location is consistently the United Arab Emirates and African military installations (Kenya, Djibouti, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana), with no CONUS presence in the recent award record.
