Sam's Airpack Plus, Inc.

Sam's Airpack Plus, Inc., doing business as Sams Airpack Plus Inc., supplies aircraft structural components, fasteners, seals, valves, and electrical assemblies to the Department of Defense as a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business operating from Fair Oaks, California. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements—across 1,352 recent prime awards, no set-aside designations appear except for two total small business set-asides valued at $249,988 and $194,820 for electrical solenoids placed in 2025 and 2024 respectively. Sam's Airpack Plus does not hold IDVCs, sit on government-wide vehicles, or perform as a subcontractor; 100 percent of its activity is prime purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly specialized in aviation spare parts and ancillary defense components. Representative work includes a $51,727 purchase order (April 2025) for gear box parts kits awarded by DLA Aviation; a $39,858 firm fixed-price order (December 2025) for a hydraulic pumping unit destined for the USS ESSEX amphibious assault ship from DLA Land and Maritime; a $27,600 order (October 2025) for nonmetallic hose assemblies; a $225,000 order (July 2023) for straight-headed pins; and a $156,000 order (February 2024) for electrical solenoids. Across the portfolio, typical line items include aircraft skins, structural panels and stiffeners, control assemblies, cable and hose assemblies, bushings, springs, bearings, relays, connectors, gaskets, seal assemblies, and fasteners—items averaging well under $10,000 each. Most orders complete within two to four weeks of award.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation branch alone accounts for 579 awards (43% of all awards) and $3.5 million of combined potential value (56% of the portfolio); DLA Land and Maritime adds 331 awards (24%) and $1.9 million (31%). Together, these two DLA divisions represent 910 awards and $5.4 million—approximately 87 percent of Sam's Airpack Plus's federal footprint by count and 87 percent by dollars. The next largest customer tier—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (55 awards, $206 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (142 awards, $160 thousand), and DLA proper (100 awards, $55 thousand)—remains within the DLA family. Naval Sea Systems Command appears once in the source ($23,800 sleeve and slide order in October 2023). The Air Force Materiel Command Sustainment Center carries 36 awards and $82 thousand, the only meaningful non-DLA buyer.

Sam's Airpack Plus operates entirely on individual purchase orders. No parent vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or standing contracts appear in the award record. Each transaction is a discrete firm fixed-price purchase order issued under full-and-open competition (or occasionally total small business set-aside where applicable) with performance windows of two to eight weeks. The vendor holds no contracting apparatus, no task order vehicles, and no teaming relationships visible in the source.

Activity has tracked unevenly. The portfolio spans awards back to 1995, with recent-year patterns showing 69 awards in 2022, 37 in 2023, 36 in 2024, 77 in 2025, and 29 awards so far in 2026 (as of mid-April). Despite the nominal upswing in 2025, the vendor shows no recompete cliff or standing contract value at risk because every award is a purchase order that closes on completion. The combined potential value across all 1,352 awards stands at $6.2 million, yet the combined obligated dollars reported is $10.5 million—indicating that invoiced and funded work has exceeded stated contract ceilings, a signal of baseline demand fulfillment rather than growth pipeline. Sam's Airpack Plus is a high-velocity, low-dollar-per-order specialist in DLA's aviation and logistics supply chain, with zero visible exposure to strategic partnerships, primes, or contract vehicles.
