Howco Distributing CO.

Howco Distributing Co., a subsidiary of Drone USA, Inc., is a for-profit industrial parts and components distributor based in Vancouver, Washington. The company has been registered to receive federal awards since June 2001 and maintains active status in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) through August 2026. Howco Distributing Co. specializes in supplying specialized mechanical, electrical, and vehicular components to the Department of Defense, with a particular focus on supporting the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) across its aviation, land, maritime, and construction equipment programs. The company has established itself as a reliable federal supplier through consistent performance on multiple contract vehicles, demonstrating capability in fulfilling both routine and specialized procurement requirements across diverse technical domains.

Howco Distributing Co.'s past federal contract awards reflect a broad portfolio of industrial component procurement spanning numerous product categories and funding agencies. The company has received over 200 individual contract awards from the Defense Logistics Agency across its aviation, land, maritime, and construction programs, with contract values ranging from less than $100 to over $78,000. Representative deliverables include mechanical fasteners (bolts, screws, washers, nuts, and pins), sealing components (o-rings, gaskets, seals, and packing materials), hydraulic and pneumatic components (pumps, valves, cylinders, and filters), electrical components (connectors, switches, fuseholders, and heating elements), specialized measurement instruments (pressure gauges, liquid quantity gauges, and load cells), engine components (starters, thermostats, and transmitters), and vehicular parts (belts, boots, windshield wipers, and brake components). Awards include firm fixed-price purchase orders, delivery orders under existing contracts, and BPA call orders. The company has also received contract awards from the U.S. Security Assistance Command and the Department of the Army. Most awards carry no set-aside designation, allowing Howco to compete on an unrestricted basis; however, the company has successfully secured several Total Small Business set-aside awards, including contracts for a power transformer ($46,445.40), electric engine starters ($51,413.25), a pump separator ($18,389.25), and various other specialized components, demonstrating its capability to compete effectively in small business-reserved procurements.

Howco Distributing Co. currently holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 and set aside for Total Small Business participation. The first IDC (Contract 4610125845), awarded September 12, 2025, and extending through September 12, 2026, procures fluid filter elements (National Stock Number 2940016857641) for military equipment applications, classified under Product Service Code 29 (Engine Accessories) and NAICS code 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing). The contract structure anticipates approximately 12 orders per year with a guaranteed minimum of 8 units, requiring 60-day delivery timelines to various DLA depots throughout the continental United States and overseas consolidation points. The second IDC (Contract 4610125881), also awarded September 12, 2025, and extending through September 12, 2026, provides hexagon cap screws (National Stock Number 5305014790308) under NAICS code 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and Federal Supply Schedule code 53 (Hardware and Abrasives). This contract anticipates one order annually with a four-unit guaranteed minimum and 50-day delivery requirements. Both IDCs remain in effect for one year or until the $250,000 ceiling value is reached, whichever occurs first, and represent the foundation for Howco's ongoing supply chain relationship with DLA's Land and Maritime operations. The company has generated multiple delivery orders and purchase orders under these IDCs throughout 2025, underscoring its consistent performance as a qualified supplier for specialized industrial components supporting Department of Defense operational logistics requirements.
