OLB Associates LLC

OLB Associates LLC, doing business as Veterans 1ST Energy, is a woman-owned small business based in Delafield, Wisconsin, that supplies military components, parts, and subsystems to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor through high-volume, transactional purchase orders and delivery orders. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on DLA catalog procurements and operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards), with zero subcontract activity. OLB Associates holds a narrow, specialized footprint anchored almost entirely within a single customer's procurement stream.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on rubber and plastics hose and belting manufacturing, engine equipment, metal fabrication, gaskets, packing, sealing devices, hydraulic pumps, electrical and electronic components, and vehicular parts and subsystems. Representative recent awards include a $98,172.62 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on June 10, 2026, for 17 rotary pump units; a $94,787.70 Total Small Business delivery order for fuel metering pumps on May 26, 2026; a $71,316.96 Total Small Business purchase order for an engine control module on May 14, 2026; and a $89,559.92 Total Small Business purchase order from the Marine Corps for a diesel engine on May 4, 2026. Across the portfolio, top NAICS categories include Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing (690 awards), Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (574 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (492 awards), with top PSC codes dominated by Hose and Flexible Tubing (1,075 awards), Diesel Engines and Components (323 awards), and Hardware, Commercial (286 awards). Work is performed at the vendor's Delafield facility with delivery to DLA distribution centers worldwide.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 4,720 awards (82% of the total portfolio) with $28.3 million in combined potential value. DLA Aviation follows with 649 awards and $5.1 million, while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment adds 218 awards and $1 million. Combined, DLA entities represent 5,636 of 5,770 awards (97.7%) and $34.6 million of $34.7 million in potential value. The Marine Corps has placed only four awards totaling $109 thousand. The vendor serves eight distinct federal agencies, but dependency on DLA is categorical.

OLB Associates holds three active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $350,000 with Total Small Business set-asides and one-year terms. The IDC awarded July 14, 2026, covers adjusting devices and belts (NSN 2990015987539) under NAICS 333618 and PSC 29, with a guaranteed minimum of 16 units and an estimated two orders per year. The IDC awarded May 5, 2026, covers voltage regulators (NSN 5963017248242) under NAICS 334111 and PSC 59, with a guaranteed minimum of 6 units and four estimated orders per year. The IDC awarded May 4, 2026, covers O-ring sealing devices (NSN 5331013528153) with a guaranteed minimum of 24 units and approximately 12 estimated orders per year. All three carry performance across CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots via consolidation and containerization points. The source lists five additional parent IDCs — SPE7L325D61CN, SPE7L325D60NM, SPE7L425D62YW, and SPE7L425D63EE — each carrying task-order volume in the mid-range ($222,000 to $250,000 combined potential value), suggesting an established but narrow vendor position within DLA's automated requisition and fulfillment ecosystem.

Activity has remained steady. The past five years show: 2022 (829 awards), 2023 (615 awards), 2024 (661 awards), 2025 (722 awards), and 2026 year-to-date (299 awards). The 2026 count is partial (through mid-July). Combined potential value across all awards is $34.7 million with $21 million obligated (61% execution rate). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months reflects 40 awards totaling $699 thousand in potential value — a modest recompete exposure relative to the total portfolio, consistent with the vendor's high-volume, low-dollar-per-order business model. The vendor operates as a transactional component supplier executing hundreds of small orders annually through DLA's RFQ-driven catalog procurement process, with minimal pipeline visibility beyond published DLA solicitations and established IDC vehicles. No teaming relationships, subcontract relationships, or presence on government-wide vehicles are evident in the source.
