Polar Net, LLC

Polar Net, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Cody, Wyoming, manufactures and supplies specialized small arms accessories and military equipment components to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime as a prime contractor under firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders issued against multiple indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs). The company competes entirely under set-aside vehicles — all prime work is awarded under Total Small Business or Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides — and holds a deep, concentrated relationship with a single customer agency.

Polar Net's customer concentration is extreme. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 290 of 332 total awards (87% of award count) and $65.9 million of the $66.4 million combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio — leaving all other agencies to share less than one percent of dollar volume. The next-largest customer, DLA Aviation, holds 16 awards valued at $420 thousand. This concentration reflects Polar Net's core business model: manufacturing to supply military small arms and optical fire-control components through standing IDCs that enable the DLA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders on an as-needed basis.

Polar Net's product portfolio centers on small arms and optical equipment accessories. Representative work includes rifle bipods, telescope mounts, sight mounts, sling rail adapters, LaRue throw wrenches, MONOLOC adapters, machine gun bipod legs, buttstock subassemblies, rifle grips, and optical cells — items classified under NAICS 332721 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and 333314 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing). Recent named awards exemplify the scope: a $3,036,364.32 five-year IDC awarded November 20, 2023, for 1,518 units of machine gun bipod legs (NSN 1005-01-600-5612) under Total Small Business set-aside; a $350,000 single-award IDC awarded December 9, 2025, for LaRue throw wrenches (NSN 1005016149848) under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $250,000 single-award IDC awarded May 20, 2025, for telescope mounts (NSN 1240016505791) under Total Small Business set-aside. Polar Net issues individual purchase orders and delivery orders from these vehicles, with order sizes ranging from under $300 to over $75,000.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor recorded 30 awards in 2021, 50 in 2022, 22 in 2023, 21 in 2024, and 19 in 2025 — a significant contraction from the 2022 peak. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $14 million (21% of $66.4 million potential value), indicating that many IDC ceilings remain unexercised or partially utilized. The vendor holds seven active IDCs with the DLA ranging from $250,000 to $3,036,364.32 in ceiling value. Five task orders under the top-ranked parent vehicles (Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L520D5007, SPE7MX19D0026, SPE7LX18D0135) carried a combined $984 thousand in potential value, suggesting moderate utilization of available contract vehicles.

Polar Net operates almost entirely as a prime contractor; one sub-award appears in the source — a July 22, 2024, sub task under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for an MSA muff. The vendor's structure and manufacturing footprint are located in Cody, Wyoming; all named work specifies performance at the Cody location, with delivery to DLA depots across continental United States (CONUS) and outside continental United States (OCONUS) locations. The company was registered in SAM.gov in 2014 and has maintained continuous prime contracting relationships with the DLA since that time.
