Hutcheson John W

Hutcheson John W, doing business as Overseas Contractor Supplies, is a veteran-owned small business sole proprietorship located in Monrovia, California, specializing in the manufacture and supply of specialized lighting equipment, particularly tactical flashlights, to the U.S. Department of Defense. Registered in SAM.gov since February 2002, the company has established itself as a reliable supplier of illumination products for federal defense and military logistics operations. The vendor is classified as a for-profit organization and manufacturer of goods with a demonstrated focus on providing critical lighting solutions to support military readiness and equipment programs.

Hutcheson John W has supplied flashlights exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation through a series of firm fixed-price delivery order contracts spanning from 2021 through September 2025. The delivery orders, which represent the entirety of the company's documented federal contract history, have ranged in value from $2,985.00 to $6,814.50, with individual contract values typically falling between $3,400 and $5,000. These contracts have been awarded without set-aside designations at the delivery order level, though they are executed under underlying small business set-aside indefinite delivery vehicle contracts. The consistency of awards from DLA Aviation indicates the agency's sustained demand for the company's specialized flashlight models to support military equipment and logistics programs, with performance consistently taking place at the company's Monrovia, California facility.

Hutcheson John W currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The first IDC, awarded in November 2021, is valued at $250,000 with a period of performance through November 2026 and is designated as a total small business set-aside contract. The second IDC, awarded in March 2025, is also valued at $250,000 with performance extending through March 2030 and was awarded without a set-aside designation. Both IDCs enable DLA Aviation to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for specialized flashlight models as needed to support the agency's military equipment and logistics requirements. These indefinite delivery vehicles have proven instrumental in facilitating the company's consistent relationship with DLA Aviation, allowing the agency flexibility in procuring critical illumination equipment while leveraging Hutcheson John W's specialized manufacturing capabilities and proven track record of reliable supply.
