Sims Enterprises LLC

Sims Enterprises LLC, a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Canby, Oregon, supplies aircraft, vehicle, vessel, and hardware components as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense through firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations except for sporadic Total Small Business awards; a sole proprietorship structure, Sims Enterprises operates without subcontractors and performs all work directly at its Oregon facility.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized defense logistics components spanning electrical and mechanical assemblies, hydraulic systems, fasteners, bearings, sensors, valves, pumps, switches, transmitters, and precision-engineered parts for military aircraft and maritime equipment. Representative work includes a $134.3 thousand purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for 316 battery power supply units (April 2024), a $92 thousand DLA Aviation contract for a gyroscope control unit (August 2025), and a $83.2 thousand DLA Aviation order for 26 pressure transmitters (October 2022). The combined potential value across 437 awards totals $1.9 million, with a 125% obligated-to-potential ratio indicating contract execution exceeds initial ceiling values.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency operations. DLA Aviation accounts for 177 awards ($1 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime for 147 awards ($690 thousand), together representing 93% of the award count and covering 98% of combined potential value. Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (39 awards, $98 thousand), Naval Air Systems Command (24 awards, $11 thousand), and DLA Troop Support divisions (25 awards, $45 thousand). The vendor has served 14 distinct federal agencies across a 30-year contracting history since first award in September 1996.

Activity has remained relatively flat to modestly growing—30 awards in 2022, climbing to 47 in 2025, with 10 awards in the current 2026 year through mid-April. Award velocity is consistently high; the vendor averages 34 to 47 awards annually over the past five years, with most purchase orders carrying ceiling values between $1 thousand and $15 thousand, reflecting Sims Enterprises' positioning as a high-volume, low-to-mid-value parts supplier rather than a systems integrator. NAICS concentration skews toward Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (82 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (29 awards), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (20 awards), with PSC codes similarly concentrated in Airframe Structural Components (30 awards) and Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment (23 awards).

Sims Enterprises has maintained continuous SAM registration since August 2001 and operates exclusively as a prime contractor on individual purchase orders rather than sitting on governmentwide vehicles or indefinite-delivery contracts. The company holds no identified subcontractor relationships and reports no sub-award activity. This profile positions Sims Enterprises as a reliable mid-tier supplier of small-dollar, time-sensitive defense logistics components supporting fleet maintenance and equipment readiness across DLA aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle logistics divisions.

Sims Enterprises deals with military surplus and buys from government auctions. They stock the parts and sell back to the government, and all parts can be located in the Inventory Locator Service (ILS).
