Heartland Patriot Supply LLC

Heartland Patriot Supply LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Wakefield, Nebraska, supplies electronic and electrical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a high-volume, low-dollar-per-order basis across 577 recent federal awards. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and holds both veteran-owned small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business certifications valid through June 10, 2028. Heartland Patriot operates as a limited liability partnership and competes predominantly in open full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, though five of its seven current indefinite delivery contracts carry Total Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside designations.

Heartland Patriot's capability footprint centers on qualified products list items distributed through Defense Logistics Agency depots: connectors, receptacles, plugs, switches (push, rotary, toggle, pressure, thermostatic), relays (electromagnetic, motor-driven, hybrid), circuit breakers, capacitors, resistors, fuses, terminal lugs, backshells, covers, adapters, and specialized optoelectronic display components. The vendor supplies components for military equipment maintenance and logistics operations across continental and overseas consolidation points. Representative recent awards include a $270 thousand Land and Maritime purchase order for electrical contacts (April 6, 2026, NSN 5999004893265), a $60.1 thousand Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside for connector plugs (February 3, 2026), and a $39.5 thousand Aviation division purchase order for mounting base electrical components (January 15, 2026). The majority of orders range from roughly $150 to $12 thousand and carry 30- to 100-day delivery windows under firm fixed-price terms.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 515 of 577 awards (89% of the footprint) and $10.6 million of $10.7 million combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division places 57 awards ($87 thousand), with Construction and Equipment and Naval Supply Systems Command together accounting for 5 awards. This customer concentration creates a significant recompete cliff: four awards carrying combined potential value of $400 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, all with the same customer.

Heartland Patriot holds eleven indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each valued at $350 thousand with one-year terms extending through February to March 2027. Seven of these contracts were awarded in August and September 2025 and are referenced in the source as $250 thousand vehicles; four additional IDVs were awarded in late February and March 2026 for electrical contacts, radio frequency filters, backshells, and related components. Five of the seven 2025 IDVs carry Total Small Business set-asides; the 2026 IDVs split between set-aside and non-set-aside designations. The contracts are automated indefinite-delivery vehicles with guaranteed minimum annual quantities and estimated order frequencies ranging from three to ten orders per year, structured to streamline component procurement for the agency's global supply chain.

The vendor's award portfolio skews heavily to three product categories by volume: electronic connector manufacturing (164 awards across connectors, receptacles, plugs, and backshells), capacitors and resistors (103 awards), and switches including circuit breakers (96 awards). Nearly 90% of awards fall within these three NAICS categories. Activity peaked in 2025 with 416 awards; 2026 has recorded 161 awards to date, signaling either a seasonal pattern or a shift in ordering behavior as the vendor's newer IDVs mature. Combined obligated dollars ($1.6 million) represent only 15% of combined potential value, reflecting the high volume of small orders and the time lag between award and invoicing on long-delivery contracts.

Heartland Patriot operates solely as a prime contractor; the source shows zero subcontract activity. The company maintains current System for Award Management registration through July 19, 2026, and draws all federal revenue from a single customer division, creating tactical agility in responding to DLA procurement cycles but significant customer-concentration risk across the footprint.
