About the company
SAM Tell & Son, Inc., doing business as The SAM Tell Companies, is a small business based in Farmingdale, New York that supplies commercial food service equipment—ovens, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, beverage dispensers, steam kettles, and related kitchen apparatus—to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal agencies, operating as a prime contractor on purchase orders and a single-award indefinite delivery contract.
The vendor competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. Recent activity shows significant volume concentration with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence, which accounts for 781 awards (77% of recent prime contracts) valued at $5.2 million combined potential value, followed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service with 486 awards valued at $887 thousand. The vendor also holds task orders with Army Sustainment Command ($772 thousand across 16 awards) and smaller positions with Naval Sea Systems Command and Army Medical Command. The two customer rankings track closely—DLA dominates both volume and dollars—indicating deep penetration of a single customer base rather than diversification across agencies.
SAM Tell & Son's primary vehicle is a $250 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Troop Support Subsistence (SPE3SE18D5125) for beverage dispensers, issued in April 2022 with ultimate completion in April 2023. Delivery orders under this IDV ranged from $4,718 to $44,825 and targeted Farmingdale as the place of performance. The vendor also places orders against GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements (GS07FBA246 with 52 task orders valued at $62 thousand, and GS07FBA464 with 48 task orders), providing small-dollar food service components including hamburger turners, baking pans, and food preparation tools. Representative recent awards include a $309.8 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA for 26 mechanical refrigerators to the Pennsylvania Army National Guard (August 2025), a $141.7 thousand Air Force Air Mobility Command award for food service equipment (May 2024), a $237.8 thousand Army Sustainment Command order for food service equipment to support Eglin Air Force Base (July 2023), and a $225 thousand Air Education and Training Command award for freezers, refrigerators, display cases, and ice makers (July 2022).
The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly concentrated in NAICS codes 333241 (Food Product Machinery Manufacturing, 510 awards), 332216 (Metal Kitchen Cookware and Utensil Manufacturing, 477 awards), and 332217 (Cutlery and Flatware Manufacturing, 236 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in Kitchen Hand Tools and Utensils (564 awards), Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment (411 awards), and Kitchen Equipment and Appliances (299 awards). The award portfolio reflects transactional activity across a very large order count—1,713 total awards from 2006 to early 2026—but declining recent volume: 189 awards in 2022 contracting to just one award in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value stands at $11.5 million with $9 million obligated, but the trajectory shows sharp contraction, particularly post-2023 when award velocity dropped from 49 annually to single digits. All awards are prime contracts; the vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source data. The single-award DLA IDV, which anchored the beverage dispenser work, reached its April 2023 completion date, and no replacement vehicle appears in recent activity, suggesting potential recompete exposure in that core revenue channel.
