KSD Govcon LLC

KSD Govcon LLC, doing business as KSD Govcon, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) manufacturer of industrial fasteners, chain, wire rope, hoses, and replacement mechanical components that operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The South Bend, Indiana-based limited liability company holds SBA certifications in both SDVOSB and VOSB (expiring May 13, 2028) and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and minority-owned (Black American-owned) manufacturer.

KSD Govcon's federal footprint consists entirely of small-dollar purchase orders for commodity industrial goods. Recent awards span fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, washers, pins, cotter pins), wire and cable assemblies (rope, wire rope, weldless chain, welded chain), hoses and tubing (nonmetallic hose, flexible tubing, insulation tape), and mechanical replacement parts (circulating fans, compression sleeves, chiller components, ear plugs). Representative recent awards include a $23,813 SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for chiller replacement parts (April 2025), a $10,232 Total Small Business set-aside order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for rope and wire components (September 2025), a $20,142 full-and-open purchase order from the Defense Department's Construction and Equipment division for a circulating fan (October 2025), and a $2,132 nonmetallic hose order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (October 2025). Most awards carry ceiling values below $2,000 and represent firm fixed-price transactional purchases rather than term contracts.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Defense Logistics Agency procurement, which accounts for 24 of 26 awards (100% of combined potential value): DLA Aviation dominates with 16 awards valued at $18 thousand, DLA Land and Maritime holds 7 awards worth $3 thousand, and DLA Troop Support Medical and Construction and Equipment each hold single orders. The Department of Veterans Affairs represents one high-dollar outlier — a single $23,813 SDVOSB set-aside order from VISN 1 that dominates the potential-value ranking by more than 50%. The vendor has no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs and does not subcontract.

Activity is concentrated in 2025, with 22 awards issued between April and December; the source reflects four awards in early 2026 (through March 26). Combined potential value across all 26 awards stands at $45 thousand, though actual obligations reached $65 thousand, indicating that obligated amounts exceeded potential-value estimates on smaller orders. The vendor does not compete under set-asides across most of its footprint — only one Total Small Business and one SDVOSB set-aside award appear in the record — and is largely winning full-and-open DLA purchase orders alongside small-business competitors. The business model is transactional commodity supply, not task-order-based services or systems integration, and the federal customer base is confined to defense logistics and veterans' health procurement channels.
