Purkiss David Anthony

Purkiss David Anthony PDA America Division, doing business as PDA America, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship supplying electronic, electrical, and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates from Ocala, Florida with a secondary facility in Sumter, South Carolina, and competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

PDA America's capability portfolio centers on specialized hardware, fasteners, electrical connectors, and component procurement for military equipment logistics. Representative awards include a $2,878.44 purchase order from DLA Aviation for wiring duct components (April 2026), a $12,474 award from DLA Land and Maritime for blank flanges (August 2024), a $7,991.08 order for sleeve bushings (February 2026), and recurring purchases of insulation sleeving, terminal lugs, spacer plates, and capacitors across DLA components. The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $250,000 for solid state relays, against which it has placed approximately $17,000 in delivery orders to date.

DLA components account for 100 percent of recent awards across all four customer agencies tracked. DLA Land and Maritime dominates by both volume and dollars—246 awards carrying $383 thousand in combined potential value—followed by DLA Aviation with 183 awards and $101 thousand combined potential value. DLA Troop Support Hardware (44 awards, $6 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (27 awards, $7 thousand) round out the customer set. Individual purchase order values range from under $100 to approximately $12,500, with most orders valued under $2,000.

Activity has remained steady in recent years but faces a contraction cliff: 73 awards in 2022, 68 in 2023, declining to 27 in 2024, rebounding to 38 in 2025, and 14 awards so far in 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal recompete exposure but also flat near-term pipeline visibility. The company's total federal award portfolio carries a combined potential value of $496 thousand with $246 thousand obligated to date, reflecting the transactional, spot-buy character of DLA purchase orders for standard and specialized components.

PDA America's award concentration aligns tightly with hardware and component manufacturing. The top five NAICS categories by award count are Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (46 awards), Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (46 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (43 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (36 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (35 awards). On the product side, Electrical Insulators and Insulating Materials (47 awards), Connectors Electrical (37 awards), Lugs Terminals and Terminal Strips (34 awards), Relays and Solenoids (29 awards), and Capacitors (24 awards) dominate the award mix, reflecting PDA America's role as a direct supplier of commodity and specialized parts into the DLA supply chain.
