Optimum Vehicle Logistics LLC

Optimum Vehicle Logistics LLC, doing business as O V L, operates as a for-profit limited liability company based in Glendale, Wisconsin, supplying automotive components and vehicle spare parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across 291 federal awards with no subcontract footprint. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no characteristic set-aside posture, though it holds two small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency for air cleaners and nonmetallic hoses.

O V L's federal customer base concentrates heavily with Defense Logistics Agency components and Army Materiel Command. The top five customers account for 92% of awards: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by award count at 149 awards valued at $1.5 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (52 awards, $163 thousand), DLA Aviation (39 awards, $425 thousand), and Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (18 awards, $4.1 million). However, the dollar ranking diverges sharply — the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command anchors the portfolio with 4 awards valued at $12.8 million combined potential value, driven by a single $4.7 million definitive contract awarded in August 2021 for combat vehicle spare parts and kits. This concentration in Army Security Assistance contrasts with O V L's historically transactional relationship with DLA, which consists primarily of small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders under standing indefinite delivery vehicles.

O V L places task orders under four parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement W56HZV18AJ025 (9 task orders, $988 thousand combined potential value) with Army Materiel Command Detroit Arsenal for vehicle logistics and spare parts; Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A618D5295 (9 task orders, $58 thousand) also with Army Materiel Command; and Blanket Purchase Agreement W56HZV21AJ036 (7 task orders, $99 thousand) with Army Materiel Command for similar logistics support. O V L also holds a recently awarded three-year, $3.0 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal for Foreign Military Sales spare parts (effective April 2025 through March 2028). The two DLA small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts — a $250 thousand nonmetallic hoses IDC expiring October 2023 and a $250 thousand air cleaners/intake systems IDC expiring March 2024 — anchor a steady stream of task orders for individual vehicle components.

O V L's capability portfolio centers narrowly on manufactured automotive components and spare parts. Representative work includes bolts and fasteners (33 awards across 2022–2026 under DLA purchase orders), ball and roller bearings (25 awards), transmission and power train parts (19 awards), engine equipment (18 awards), and packing and gasket materials (18 awards). Purchase orders are typically firm fixed-price and transactional, ranging from $9 to $14 thousand for individual components such as shafts, axles, bumpers, gaskets, filters, and seals. The portfolio reflects no deviation into systems integration, logistics planning, or services; O V L functions as a component supplier to the military vehicle industrial base. Place of performance is River Hills, Wisconsin for all named awards.

Activity has remained flat over the past four years — 7 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 8 in 2024, and 5 in 2025 — with one award in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across 291 awards totals $19.5 million, with $15.4 million obligated (79% realization). The vendor faces no significant recompete cliff in the near term; the two oldest small-business-set-aside IDCs expired in late 2023 and early 2024, but O V L has since landed the new $3.0 million FMS spare parts BPA with Army Materiel Command to offset those completions. The $3.0 million Army Materiel Command BPA awarded September 2021 was extended for a six-month period and runs through March 2025, creating recompete exposure in 2025.
