Sam's Airpack Plus, Inc.

Sam's Airpack Plus, Inc., doing business as Sams Airpack Plus Inc., is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business that supplies aircraft and defense components — including skin panels, fasteners, hydraulic assemblies, electrical components, seals, and structural parts — to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on high-volume, low-dollar purchase orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements; it does not hold formal 8(a) or HUBZone certification, though it qualifies as a small disadvantaged business and has won occasional total small business set-asides totaling roughly $493 thousand across the award footprint.

Based in Fair Oaks, California, Sam's Airpack Plus is a for-profit corporate entity with a footprint anchored almost entirely in aircraft and defense spare-parts supply. The portfolio spans 1,361 awards over the past three decades, with combined potential value of $6.3 million and combined obligated dollars of $10.6 million — an anomaly driven by high-velocity purchase orders where vendors invoice against delivery and cumulative invoicing exceeds the original quoted ceiling. Recent activity shows strong rebound: 38 awards in 2026 (year-to-date) and 77 in 2025, compared to 36 in 2024 and 37 in 2023, demonstrating consistent demand among logistics buyers for small-ticket component sourcing.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-customer dependent. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime account for 89% of award count (919 awards combined) and 94% of combined potential value ($5.4 million). Within that, DLA Aviation alone holds 585 awards ($3.5 million). DLA Troop Support Hardware, Construction and Equipment, and general DLA entity awards round out the active set at $371 thousand combined across 297 awards. A single award to Naval Sea Systems Command for $23.8 thousand in November 2023 represents the only naval exposure in recent years; all other work is DLA-centric. The Air Force Materiel Command's Air Force Sustainment Center accounts for $82 thousand across 36 awards, mostly routine spare-parts buys.

The vendor does not participate in IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide vehicles; every award in the source data is a discrete firm fixed-price purchase order issued under DLA's standard procurement authority. This purchase-order-based model means no parent vehicle concentration and no multi-year task-order pipeline — each award is independent and completes within days to months. The typical order spans $1 thousand to $50 thousand, with occasional outliers ($225 thousand for straight-headed pins in July 2023; $249.9 thousand and $194.8 thousand for solenoid electrical components in February and September 2024). Across the NAICS footprint, work concentrates in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (245 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (113 awards), and Bolt/Nut/Screw/Rivet/Washer Manufacturing (88 awards), reflecting the vendor's core identity as a fastener and component distributor rather than a systems integrator or prime systems contractor.

Capability delivery is spare-parts focused and commodity-driven. Representative work includes a $51.7 thousand order for parts kit gearbox units in April 2025; a $39.9 thousand hydraulic pumping unit for USS Essex delivery in December 2025; a $27.6 thousand nonmetallic hose assembly in October 2025; a $31.9 thousand structural aircraft plate in February 2023; and recurring orders in the $1 thousand to $10 thousand range for seals, springs, connectors, fasteners, and cable assemblies. The vendor sources, procures, and delivers items already in the Federal Supply Schedule; it does not engineer, modify, or customize. Place of performance is uniformly Fair Oaks, California.

Sam's Airpack Plus operates with zero subcontract footprint — all 1,361 awards are prime-only, indicating no upstream teaming or integration with larger primes. The company does not appear in major contract hierarchies and does not sub to defense systems integrators. Its strategic position is as a direct-to-DLA spare-parts vendor competing on speed, availability, and cost in an unrestricted, high-velocity procurement environment where small business set-asides are uncommon (only two total small business set-aside orders visible in the recent slice, totaling $493 thousand) and open competition is the norm.
