Sarco Inc.

Sarco Inc., doing business as Sarco, manufactures and supplies industrial components and spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a small business prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. Based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Sarco holds a for-profit corporate structure and specializes in fluid power systems, valves, pumps, gaskets, bladder accumulators, spindle assemblies, filtering disks, and mechanical hardware for military vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and defense infrastructure.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The top five DLA divisions account for 96% of recent awards by count and 97% by potential value. DLA Land and Maritime alone represents 1,589 awards valued at $50.3 million—the dominant buyer by both measures. DLA Aviation follows with 657 awards worth $19.4 million, while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, the Navy's Supply Systems Command, and DLA Troop Support Hardware make up the remainder. Sarco has no meaningful presence outside the DLA ecosystem and one Coast Guard award (a $20,100 sole-source mount resilient purchase order in January 2025). This concentration reflects a highly specialized, transactional supplier relationship: Sarco wins hundreds of small individual purchase orders and delivery orders annually rather than large framework agreements.

Activity has declined materially. Sarco recorded 89 awards in 2022, 51 in 2023, 48 in 2024, and 62 in 2025, settling to 15 awards in 2026 to date. The combined potential value across the entire portfolio is $80 million against $99.2 million in obligated dollars, indicating historical velocity has softened. Within the next twenty-four months, 31 awards carrying $2.1 million in combined potential value reach completion and face recompete.

Sarco's parent vehicles are single-award indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each holding ceilings between $250,000 and $2 million. The top five parent IDCs carry 58 task orders collectively: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A718D0276 (17 task orders, $568 thousand), SPE4A723D0156 (17 task orders, $1.5 million), SPE8E815D0001 (11 task orders, $240 thousand), SPE7M820D60MY (7 task orders, $191 thousand), and SPE7L322D60JY (6 task orders, $56 thousand). Recent IDC awards include a $350,000 ceiling SPRING vehicle for springs (awarded March 26, 2026; two delivery orders issued through June 2026), a $350,000 ring lifting IDC (awarded December 12, 2025), and a $350,000 cover distributing contract (awarded October 20, 2025; one delivery order for $49,435 issued October 23, 2025). These are discrete, single-award vehicles—not pools—and Sarco competes fresh for each renewal.

Representative recent prime work: a $702,962 total small business set-aside purchase order for regulating flow valves from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2025); a $278,740 spindle assembly purchase order under total small business set-aside from DLA Land and Maritime (February 2023); a $1,999,999.99-ceiling bladder accumulator IDC from DLA Aviation (February 2023, no set-aside, twelve delivery orders issued 2023–2025 totaling approximately $1.3 million); a $641,865 regulating system valve purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (June 2023, total small business set-aside); and a $783,976 system regulating valve purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2024, total small business set-aside). All work is performed at the Cherry Hill facility. Sarco does not subcontract and holds no position on government-wide vehicles or multiple-award IDIQs outside DLA.

The product portfolio is dominated by standard industrial components. Top NAICS categories include Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (364 awards), All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (362 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (330 awards). Top PSC codes reflect this: Centrifugals, Separators, and Pressure and Vacuum Filters (469 awards); Valves, Nonpowered (423 awards); and Valves, Powered (275 awards). Sarco is a supply-chain vendor, not a systems integrator or prime systems contractor—it fills small, recurring inventory replenishment needs across DLA's global logistics network through high-volume, low-touch purchase orders and delivery orders with firm fixed pricing and 35- to 400-day delivery windows.
