Groove Tech, Inc., doing business as Groove TECH, is a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Duxbury, Vermont, specializing in the production of elastic straps, tie-down cords, tarp hooks, and related securing equipment for military logistics operations. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since September 2001 and maintains an active federal contractor status with a current SAM registration expiring in May 2026. Groove Tech has established itself as a specialized supplier of standardized, mission-critical equipment to the Department of Defense through its consistent procurement relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

Groove Tech's federal contract portfolio demonstrates a sustained focus on providing elastic straps and tie-down securing equipment to support logistics operations across the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Since 2021, the company has received numerous purchase orders and delivery orders through DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment divisions, with award values ranging from $435 to $12,920. The product categories supplied include elastic straps (NSN 8511588706, 8510912667, 8510904294, 8509942022, 8509779841, 8509743172, 8509615245, 8509614742, 8509592433, 8509561818, and 8509519750), tie-down cords (NSN 8511053217 and 8509318860), tarp hooks (NSN 8509647117), and tie-down hooks (NSN 8509701384 and 8509036675). All of these contract awards have been issued on a firm fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, with performance periods ranging from several months to over a year. Groove Tech has consistently served as a prime contractor on these awards with no subcontractor involvement noted, demonstrating its capability to independently fulfill federal procurement requirements.

Groove Tech currently holds four active indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, all established to procure elastic straps for military logistics support. The company was awarded a single-award IDC on August 29, 2025, with a $250,000 ceiling value and an ultimate completion date of August 29, 2026, designed to supply NSN 5340015450840 elastic straps with anticipated nine orders annually and a guaranteed minimum quantity of four units per order. Three additional IDCs remain in Groove Tech's portfolio: a single-award contract awarded August 22, 2024, with a $250,000 ceiling value expiring August 22, 2025; a single-award contract awarded May 23, 2023, with a $250,000 ceiling value expiring May 22, 2024; and a single-award contract awarded January 5, 2022, with a $250,000 ceiling value expiring January 5, 2023. The 2024 and 2023 IDC awards were designated as total small business set-asides at the solicitation stage, reflecting Groove Tech's status as a woman-owned small business, while the most recent 2025 contract award was not designated with a set-aside preference. All four IDCs anticipate delivery to multiple DLA consolidation and containerization points serving both Continental United States (CONUS) and outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, with delivery timeframes typically specified at 107 to 116 days from order placement.
