Mississippi Welders Supply Company, Inc.

Mississippi Welders Supply Company, Inc., doing business as Mississippi Welders Supply Co Inc., is a veteran-owned small business headquartered in Goodview, Minnesota that supplies welding equipment, compressed industrial gases, and related industrial machinery to the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies as a prime contractor, operating 100% on its own contracts with no subcontract exposure.

The company is organized as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with SBA Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business status expiring October 25, 2027. Mississippi Welders operates predominantly on full-and-open federal awards (about 60% without set-aside designation), though it qualifies for and wins small business set-asides at meaningful volume—approximately 40% of recent awards carry total small business set-aside or other protective designations. NAICS coding reflects a portfolio centered on welding and soldering equipment manufacturing (182 awards), industrial gas manufacturing (47 awards), and miscellaneous metalworking machinery; primary PSC codes are electric arc welding equipment (131 awards) and compressed/liquefied gases (48 awards).

The vendor's concrete capability footprint is narrow and product-driven: arc welding machines, resistance welding equipment, welding torches and electrodes, compressed gas cylinders (argon, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide), liquid nitrogen delivery, welding helmets and accessories, cutting machines and plasma cutters, fire extinguisher maintenance and hydrostatic testing, and automated vending machine (AutoCrib) equipment and accessories for inventory management at Air Force logistics complexes. Recent representative contracts include a $207,360 ceiling firm fixed-price purchase order from USDA Agricultural Research Service for compressed gas cylinder supply and liquid nitrogen delivery (May 2026, through April 2031); a $278,574 total small business set-aside purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Construction and Equipment for 25 welding machines (March 2026); and a $15 million multiple-award BPA with Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex for AutoCrib automated vending machines and accessories (January 2024, through January 2029).

Customer concentration is steep and defense-logistics-focused. The top five agencies account for 87% of awards by count and 90% of combined potential value. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment dominates volume (200 awards, $4 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Land and Maritime (48 awards, $1.1 million) and DLA Energy (45 awards, $141 thousand). However, dollar concentration sits with Air Force logistics: Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex anchors $25.3 million across five awards (primarily the $15 million BPA), and Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex contributes $17 million across 24 awards. The vendor holds an additional $4 million multiple-award BPA with Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex awarded December 2025 and expiring November 2030. This bifurcation—high transaction count in small purchase-order DLA awards versus dollar concentration in Air Force BPA vehicles—reflects a vendor selling commodity industrial goods through DLA spot purchases while anchoring recurring revenue through Air Force logistics partnerships.

The vendor places work under multiple indefinite delivery vehicles. The $15 million Ogden Air Logistics Complex BPA (FA857120A0006) has generated 15 task orders totaling $4.8 million in combined potential value. Smaller vehicles include an IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for valves and filter assemblies (expired October 2022, $250,000 ceiling), and active DLA single-award IDCs and BPAs for compressed gases and welding supplies. The vendor does not hold government-wide acquisition contracts; its vehicle footprint is agency-specific, with all meaningful parent vehicles anchored to DLA or Air Force Materiel Command.

Award activity has accelerated year over year—14 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 39 in 2024, 71 in 2025, and 16 in the first five months of 2026. The combined potential value across 373 awards is $53.1 million, with $12.4 million obligated to date (23% of ceiling). Only two awards (combined potential value $185 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, providing limited near-term recompete exposure but also reflecting the vendor's reliance on multi-year BPAs and extended IDC periods rather than short-cycle transactional work.

The vendor operates from Goodview (administrative headquarters) and Winona, Minnesota (primary operations and performance location), with some work performed in Stockton, Minnesota and at Air Force installations in Georgia (Warner Robins, Robins Air Force Base) and Utah (Hill Air Force Base, Ogden Air Logistics Complex). Performance across the portfolio includes domestic CONUS delivery within a 200-mile radius for gas cylinder contracts and nationwide DLA distribution center logistics for equipment orders.
