About the company

K5 Defense LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Doral, Florida, supplies specialized mechanical and electrical components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across small business set-aside and full-and-open competitions. The company operates as a merchant supplier of industrial equipment, electrical components, and infrastructure materials, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides—approximately 75 percent of its recent awards carry such designations—with the remaining work conducted on unrestricted competitions.

K5 Defense's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and Naval customers. The top five funding agencies by award count and potential value align closely: the Naval Sea Systems Command leads with 99 awards worth $4.3 million in combined potential value, and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime follows with 94 awards worth $6.2 million. Together with the Coast Guard (32 awards, $1.2 million), DLA Aviation (28 awards, $711 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (26 awards, $1.3 million), these five agencies account for 55 percent of recent award volume and 57 percent of combined potential value. The company has worked with 72 distinct federal agencies, including civilian departments such as the Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, Forest Service, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Department of Agriculture, demonstrating broad federal penetration beyond defense logistics.

Capability footprint centers on purchase-order fulfillment for discrete components and equipment across Navy, Army, Air Force, and defense logistics supply chains. Recent representative work includes a $406,232 order for M1 Abrams Tank power supply units (TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, April 2025, total small business set-aside), a $235,900 contract for 175 emergency lighting units for Navy facilities (Naval Sea Systems Command, September 2024, total small business set-aside), a $260,680 order for stainless steel slide gates (Bureau of Reclamation, May 2025, total small business set-aside), a $118,976 contract for membrane bioreactor filters supporting Everglades National Park wastewater treatment (National Park Service Southeast Region, May 2025, total small business set-aside), and a $87,776 order for braiding machines (DLA Troop Support, December 2025, total small business set-aside). The company's portfolio spans electrical solenoids, pipe coupling clamps, power supply units, connector plugs, thermal management equipment, industrial machinery, and consumable supplies—the breadth reflecting its role as a transactional supplier rather than a systems integrator.

K5 Defense holds four active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000, for electrical solenoids (awarded October 9, 2025, total small business set-aside), pipe coupling clamps (awarded September 11, 2025, total small business set-aside), electrical connector plugs (awarded October 28, 2025, total small business set-aside), and electromagnetic relays (awarded April 23, 2026, total small business set-aside). These vehicles structure anticipated four to six orders annually with guaranteed minimums of 6 to 97 units per order, supporting recurring logistics requirements across continental and overseas Defense Logistics Agency depots. The company does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA Schedules, or other multi-award vehicles; its federal work flows through direct awards and its portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA.

Recent activity has grown steadily—63 awards in 2022, 121 in 2023, 132 in 2024, and 140 in 2025—with 41 awards year-to-date in 2026. Thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $988 thousand, representing moderate recompete exposure. The company competes as a pure prime contractor with no documented subcontracting footprint; all recent awards name K5 Defense as the performer.

K5 Defense operates from Doral, Florida as its principal place of performance for the majority of awards, though specific work locations vary by requirement—Sweetwater, Florida; Miami, Florida; Auburn, New York; Memphis, Tennessee; and Vicksburg, Mississippi appear across the recent portfolio. The company is registered in the System for Award Management and maintains self-certification as a small disadvantaged business with women-owned and Hispanic American ownership designations, positioning it competitively for small business set-aside categories across federal procurement streams. Award velocity and customer concentration signal a vendor that has succeeded in capturing predictable, recurring purchase orders from Navy and defense logistics customers through compliance with simplified acquisition procedures and demonstrated capacity to meet delivery timelines on standardized components—a profile common to component distributors and industrial suppliers rather than system integrators or professional services firms.
