Equipment & Supply Inc.

Equipment & Supply Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Monroe, North Carolina, manufactures and supplies aviation, maritime, and construction equipment components to the Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on 99% of recent awards. The company operates predominantly in full-and-open competition, with occasional total small business set-aside designations; veteran-owned status recurs across the prime footprint but does not anchor a systematic set-aside posture.

Equipment & Supply Inc. manufactures precision mechanical and electronic components for military systems, with concrete capability focus on aircraft structural components, ground servicing equipment, and maintenance support assemblies. Representative prime work includes a $294,975 definitive contract from the Office of Naval Research for RMAF trailer engine installation and removal (August 2025), a $87,000 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for a jack tester assembly (July 2025), and a $62,950.94 total small business set-aside from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 26 front adapter units for aerospace ground support equipment (October 2025). The company also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation valued at $250,000 for pin assembly components, issued in January 2022 and running through January 2023, under which two delivery orders totaling $9,914.58 have been issued to date.

Customer concentration is acute and heavily weighted to DLA divisions. The top five agencies account for 77% of awards by count, with DLA Aviation anchoring the portfolio at 1,151 awards worth $7.5 million in combined potential value—a customer presence so dominant that it spans both the award-count and potential-value rankings. Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center ranks second by dollars ($5.3 million on 15 awards), Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command contributes $4.7 million across 297 awards, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment provides $3.5 million across 322 awards, and DLA Land and Maritime adds $643 thousand. The combined potential value across all awards is $24 million, though obligated dollars reach $172.8 million, indicating substantial invoice performance against lower-ceiling purchase orders typical of DLA small-dollar procurement patterns.

Equipment & Supply Inc. places task orders under five named indefinite delivery contracts, with limited visibility into ceiling values: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA823221D0004 (5 task orders), N0038386C9327 (5 task orders), SPE4A618D0073 (5 task orders, $171 thousand combined potential value), F4160890D2129 (3 task orders), and N0038384C2729 (3 task orders). The vendor's top NAICS categories are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (1,100 awards), Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (115 awards), and Aircraft Manufacturing (113 awards), with primary PSC codes emphasizing Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (477 awards), Airframe Structural Components (418 awards), and Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (402 awards).

Activity has remained stable at 74 to 99 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 2025 reaching 99 awards and 2026 showing early-year traction at 5 awards through mid-May. In its subcontractor role, Equipment & Supply Inc. performs depot activation and component improvement work under RTX Corporation on programs including F119 engine component improvement and shared NRS common activation tasks (multiple awards September 2025 through January 2026), and supplies F-16 support equipment for Jordan under BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration (May 2026). The company's subcontract footprint is minimal—only 1% of recent awards—and focused on depot support and engine component work rather than prime equipment manufacturing.

Equipment & Supply Inc. registered in SAM.gov in 2002 and has demonstrated sustained federal contracting presence across three decades, with consistent delivery to DLA's mission of enabling military aviation readiness and Navy logistics support through low-dollar, high-velocity purchase-order procurement.
