Giesting & Associates, Inc.

Giesting & Associates, Inc., doing business as G & A Sales Co., a Cincinnati-based small business, supplies military-grade hardware components and electronic parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor exclusively, with 3,279 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts awarded over the past several years and a combined potential value of $23.1 million across all awards.

Giesting & Associates operates as a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with performance facilities in Groesbeck, Ohio. The vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open DLA procurements with no recurring set-aside designations, though recent indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. The company has maintained an active SAM registration since April 2002 and holds no current parent contract vehicles or GWAC positions; instead, it operates as a prime on single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts issued directly by DLA.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on discrete electronic components, mechanical fasteners, and military hardware. Representative work spans resistors and electronic connectors (622 and 303 awards respectively across the portfolio), commercial hardware and fasteners (192 and 211 awards), switches and inductors, and specialized assemblies including hydraulic cylinders, cable assemblies, lubricators, and antenna systems. Recent named awards exemplify this scope: a $737,544 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 87 clutch assembly units (May 2025), a $103,720.67 Total Small Business set-aside for a hydraulic actuator (November 2025), a $103,584.90 Total Small Business set-aside for receiver-transmitter equipment (July 2025), and a $40,370.96 Total Small Business set-aside for a single-stage blower (December 2025). Smaller orders dominate the portfolio—the majority carry individual values under $10,000—reflecting the vendor's role as a high-volume supplier of component-level items and consumables.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 2,208 awards (67% of portfolio volume) and $19 million (82% of combined potential value). DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment divisions account for 347 and 421 awards respectively, with $2.1 million and $1.2 million in combined potential value. The remaining eight customer agencies each represent fewer than 100 awards. This concentration reflects the vendor's specialization as a DLA supply-chain vendor rather than a competitor across broader federal defense markets. The vendor holds no teaming relationships and receives no subcontract work; 100% of the award portfolio is prime awards.

Four active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime drive streamlined procurement across the vendor's product categories. These single-award vehicles, each with $350,000 ceiling values and Total Small Business set-aside designations, were awarded on November 18, December 16, and December 17, 2025, and February 18, 2026, for cylinder assemblies (NAICS 333613, covering mechanical power transmission equipment), electrical connectors (NAICS 334220, radio and television broadcasting equipment manufacturing), and antenna components. Performance extends through late 2026 and into 2027, with guaranteed minimum order quantities and anticipated annual order frequencies ranging from one to twelve orders. These contracts establish Giesting & Associates as a framework vehicle for category-specific component procurement, enabling DLA to issue delivery orders against pre-negotiated firm fixed prices and performance schedules.

Activity has grown steadily: 179 awards in 2022 to 296 in 2025, with 56 awards recorded by mid-2026. Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $937 thousand and face recompete exposure. The vendor's award history spans 1982 to April 2026, with recent activity concentrated in the past five years, representing either an organic growth trajectory or an acquisition event not explicitly stated in the source. Five parent indefinite delivery contracts (SPM7LX09D7048 with 21 task orders, M6700404D0023 with 6 task orders, SP093599DC039 with 5 task orders, and two others with 3 task orders each) account for the largest single-vehicle concentrations, though individual purchase orders dominate the transaction count. The vendor's business model depends on high-frequency, low-dollar-value procurement cycles—the median award likely falls well below $10,000—consistent with consumable component supply to military logistics operations.

Giesting & Associates holds no current federal grant work, OTA participation, or sub-award activity. The company's federal footprint is singular and specialized: a high-volume component supplier locked into DLA Land and Maritime's supply chain with no diversification across other agencies, contract vehicles, or service branches at the prime level.
