James Supplies, L.L.C.

James Supplies, L.L.C., doing business as James Supply & Rental Co., is an Oklahoma-based industrial and welding equipment supplier operating as a for-profit limited liability company structured as a Subchapter S Corporation that competes exclusively as a prime contractor in small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements — with over two decades of federal contracting history and a narrow, equipment-focused capability portfolio centered on compressed gases, welding systems, and related industrial supplies to military and research agencies.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command anchors 56% of all awards (63 of 112 total) and 74% of combined potential value ($2.3 million of $3.1 million), reflecting a sustained supplier relationship for welding wire, welding systems, robotic welders, and welding equipment to the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development represents the second-tier customer at 23% of awards (26 total) and 12% of potential value ($386 thousand), purchasing compressed gases, liquid argon, and liquid nitrogen for scientific instrumentation and metals lab operations. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, and the Department of the Army round out the active set. Together, the top five customers account for 91% of awards and 99% of combined potential value.

Recent representative work reflects this concentration: a $25,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from Indian Health Service (awarded March 4, 2026) for medical and industrial gases to the Lawton Indian Hospital in Lawton, Oklahoma, with completion in March 2027; a $25,718.70 Total Small Business award from the Department of the Army Joint Munitions Command (June 10, 2025) for a welding machine system meeting 480-volt 3-phase and 100% duty-cycle specifications for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant; and a $176,750.01 award from Joint Munitions Command (August 24, 2021) for a robotic welder. Additional work includes a $189,214.22 purchase order for welding wire to McAlester (July 18, 2023) and compressed-gas orders from EPA's Office of Research and Development at $10,377 for liquid argon and liquid nitrogen (August 18, 2022) and $9,937.44 for general compressed gases (August 24, 2022).

Activity volume has flattened significantly — two awards in 2022 declining to one per year in 2023–2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $25 thousand) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor sits on an EPA Blanket Purchase Agreement (EPBPA14C0003) with four task orders valued at $22 thousand and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W44W9M04A0011) with four task orders, though neither vehicle anchors material opportunity. Across the award portfolio, top NAICS categories are Industrial Gas Manufacturing (27 awards), Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (22 awards), and Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (22 awards); top PSC codes are Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (36 awards), Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, and Brazing Supplies and Accessories (24 awards), and Gas Welding, Heat Cutting, and Metalizing Equipment (17 awards). James Supplies operates without subcontractors — 100% of its award portfolio is prime work — making it a direct supplier rather than a systems integrator or program-management player.
