Ll1Way, LLC

Ll1Way, LLC is a San Antonio, Texas-based minority-owned, woman-owned, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business that specializes in manufacturing and supplying precision bearing components to the U.S. Department of Defense. As a certified Hispanic American-owned and woman-owned business registered with SAM.gov, Ll1Way has established itself as a critical supplier of various types of bearing products essential for maintaining and repairing military equipment across multiple platforms and weapons systems. The company provides annular ball bearings, roller bearings, needle roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, and self-aligning roller bearings to federal agencies through an extensive portfolio of federal contract awards and indefinite delivery vehicles.

Ll1Way's federal contract work has been primarily concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, which serves as the principal procurement arm for bearing components across the Department of Defense. The company has received numerous prime federal contract awards ranging from approximately $1,200 to $117,684, with the majority of contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for specific bearing components identified by National Stock Numbers. Beyond DLA Aviation, Ll1Way has also secured awards from the Naval Supply Systems Command, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Army Materiel Command. Approximately half of the company's contract awards are designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting its status as a certified small, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprise, while the remaining awards represent open competition contracts. The bearing components supplied support critical military readiness programs for aviation, ground vehicles, ships, and weapons systems, with contract performance periods typically ranging from several months to multiple years. Ll1Way has demonstrated consistent capability to fulfill both small-dollar orders and larger contracts exceeding $50,000, indicating operational flexibility and production capacity to meet variable government demand.

Ll1Way currently holds five significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle agreements with federal agencies, collectively valued at approximately $1.65 million through their ultimate completion dates. These include a $400,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command (ACC Redstone) with a performance period extending through December 2027, designed to provide various sizes of ball bearings under Federal Supply Class 3110 in support of critical radar systems at Letterkenny Army Depot. Additionally, Ll1Way maintains four separate single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, each valued at $250,000 with ultimate completion dates ranging from May 2025 through May 2027. These DLA Aviation IDVs cover the procurement of annular ball bearings, roller bearings, needle roller bearings, and related bearing components to support ongoing Department of Defense maintenance and repair requirements across military platforms. All five IDVs carry total small business set-aside designations, underscoring the federal government's commitment to allocating substantial procurement opportunities to Ll1Way as a qualified small business contractor. Task orders issued under these IDVs have ranged from approximately $4,600 to over $52,000, with delivery orders issued on a firm fixed-price basis as federal agencies require bearing components to sustain military equipment readiness. The breadth and duration of these IDVs demonstrate Ll1Way's strategic importance to the Department of Defense and Army Materiel Command as a reliable, long-term supplier of mission-critical bearing components.
