K & A Sales And Marketing, Inc.

K & A Sales And Marketing, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Allison Park, Pennsylvania, supplies automotive and mechanical spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, operating across multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA and fulfilling firm-fixed price purchase orders and delivery orders on an as-needed basis for military equipment maintenance operations. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and does not appear to hold formal 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA set-aside certifications beyond its veteran-owned designation; however, the company competes successfully across both unrestricted and Total Small Business set-aside procurements—approximately 45% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

K & A Sales And Marketing's capability footprint centers on fluid filter elements, brake system components (shoes, drums, chambers, assemblies), cylinder assemblies, hydraulic and pneumatic components, springs, seals, hoses, fuel pumps, power takeoff transmissions, pressure tanks, and mechanical hardware. Recent representative contracts include a $55,252 March 2026 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 2,594 units of lock-release levers under a non-set-aside designation; a $33,630 October 2025 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation for 57 units of cylinder assembly actuators; a $37,378 April 2025 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 22 fluid filters; and a $37,616 November 2024 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for fluid filters valued at $37,616. Individual purchase orders and delivery orders typically range from several hundred dollars to approximately $56,000, with order frequency supporting military equipment readiness across Continental United States and overseas depot locations.

Customer concentration is extreme and vertically integrated with a single buyer. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 98% of recent awards by count (1,750 awards) and 89% by potential value ($24.7 million). The remaining 2% of volume distributes across DLA Aviation (107 awards, $887 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (60 awards, $661 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (72 awards, $357 thousand), plus minimal exposure to the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard. This concentration reflects K & A Sales And Marketing's historical positioning as a primary vendor for DLA spare parts supply since federal registration in April 2002.

K & A Sales And Marketing holds nine active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each with $250,000 ceiling values and performance periods extending through October 2026. These vehicles cover fluid filter elements, cylinder assemblies, brake shoes, brake components, retractable support components, and related automotive spare parts, all designated as Total Small Business set-asides or non-set-aside vehicles. The IDC structure enables DLA to issue firm-fixed price delivery orders on an as-needed basis. Representative vehicles include IDC SPE7LX15D0182 (27 task orders, $215 thousand value), IDC SPE7LX15D0197 (21 task orders, $599 thousand value), and IDC SPE7LX18D0017 (20 task orders, $191 thousand value), all supporting DLA Land and Maritime operations.

Activity has declined year over year—171 awards in 2022 declining to 7 awards through April 2026—reflecting either declining DLA procurement volumes or vendor attrition in this customer base. Only 2 awards with combined potential value of $69 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term, though the broader portfolio of nine IDCs renewing through October 2026 carries $2.25 million in aggregate ceiling value subject to potential recompete or non-renewal.

K & A Sales And Marketing operates solely as a prime contractor; the source records no subcontract awards or sub-awardee positions. The company's federal footprint is DLA-centric, with 98% of all awards and 89% of dollars flowing from DLA components, principally DLA Land and Maritime. Performance location is consistently the vendor's facility in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. The contract portfolio spans product categories across NAICS 332812 (Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing) and 336399 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), and PSC codes for vehicular brake components, filters, and mechanical hardware. K & A Sales And Marketing competes across set-aside and unrestricted vehicles with roughly equal success, reflecting its status as a qualified small business vendor within DLA's supply chain operations.
