Royal Distributors LLC

Royal Distributors LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in San Diego, California, provides fire-retardant tarps, plastic sheeting, and temporary shelter components to the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a prime contractor, operating 100% under its own awards with no subcontractor footprint.

Royal Distributors holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (ceiling $17.8 million, running through June 2027) and a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement (ceiling $7.2 million, running through May 2031) with FEMA for disaster relief supplies. The IDC, awarded in June 2025 under Total Small Business set-aside, procures fire-retardant tarps with surge capacity requirements (3,000 tarps within 72 hours, 20,000 within 30 days); NAICS code 326199 applies. The BPA, awarded May 2026 with no set-aside applied, covers bedroom living kits for transportable temporary housing units (TTHUs) across both CONUS and OCONUS locations. Beyond these IDVs, Royal Distributors operates through a single-award Self Help Tarps indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity master contract structured to support tarp procurement and delivery for disaster relief operations through June 2030.

All 13 recent awards fund FEMA programs exclusively, generating $199.3 million in combined potential value. Seven task orders worth $48.9 million have been issued against the Self Help Tarps vehicle, with recent examples including a $9.6 million delivery order (January 2025) for 150,000 tarps to support Hurricane Helene with a 90-day delivery requirement, a $19.2 million delivery order (October 2024) for 300,000 tarps in Hurricane Helene Georgia response (later terminated for convenience), and a $152 thousand order (September 2026) for 2,850 tarps in replenishment support for Typhoon Sinlaku in the Northern Mariana Islands. An $8.6 million definitive contract from November 2021 procured 50,000 rolls of blue plastic sheeting for Hurricane Ida recovery, awarded under Total Small Business set-aside. The vendor's NAICS footprint emphasizes roofing, siding, and insulation material merchant wholesaling (8 awards) and plastics product manufacturing (4 awards), with primary PSC coding in plastics fabricated materials (10 awards) and tents and tarpaulins (2 awards).

Royal Distributors has obligated $49.9 million (24% of its combined potential value), reflecting the stage of execution across active disaster response task orders. Activity shows a pattern of episodic awards tied to major disaster events—three awards in 2021 (Hurricane Ida response), a gap in 2022–2023, then resumed activity in 2024–2026 (Hurricane Helene and Typhoon Sinlaku responses). Only one award (valued at $152 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates entirely through FEMA with no diversification across other federal agencies.
