About Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc.
Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., a Pontiac, Michigan-based Subchapter S Corporation manufacturer, supplies automotive hardware and vehicular components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a high-volume, transactional basis. The vendor operates entirely in the prime role (100% of recent awards) and does not engage in subcontracting. Southern Automotive Wholesalers competes predominantly in the full-and-open marketplace; across recent awards, approximately 29% carry Total Small Business set-asides while 71% are unset-aside procurements, reflecting a mixed competition posture across DLA's multiple purchase order and IDIQ mechanisms.
The vendor's federal footprint centers on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) automotive and mechanical components for military vehicles, maritime vessels, and aviation platforms. Concrete recent work includes a $273,910 delivery order from Army Contracting Command Warren (March 2026) for 637 electrical engine starters; a $233,580 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 2025) for 229 fluid filter elements under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $320,933 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2026) for resilient general mounts; a $90,048 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2026) for 42 solenoid valves under set-aside; and a $83,058 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (January 2026) for injector assemblies. The vendor also holds multiple single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, including a $900,000 ceiling IDIQ with DLA Aviation (awarded April 2026, through April 2031) and several $350,000 ceiling IDIQs with DLA Land and Maritime awarded in early 2026, most designated as Total Small Business set-asides.
Customer concentration is extreme. The top five DLA components account for 96% of recent awards and 85% of combined potential value, led overwhelmingly by DLA Land and Maritime (4,911 awards, $119.2 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (2,073 awards, $38 million combined potential value). The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal ranks third but represents only 48 awards and $14.9 million—a distant third. This concentration reflects the vendor's role as a high-volume, on-call supplier of consumable and repair components to DLA's two logistics hubs. Award volume grew from 677 in 2022 to 945 in 2023, then settled to 711–722 annually in 2024–2025, with 164 awards captured in the first six months of 2026, tracking a steady-state operational posture rather than growth trajectory.
The vendor's product footprint clusters within engine and drivetrain components, fasteners, filters, and seals. Top NAICS categories are Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (721 awards), Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (558 awards), Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing (540 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (539 awards). Top PSC codes track identically: Engine Electrical System Components Nonaircraft (1,340 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (511 awards), and Engine Air and Oil Filters, Strainers, and Cleaners Nonaircraft (374 awards). The product mix reflects DLA's need for high-velocity replenishment of wear items and OEM-equivalent components across military vehicle fleets.
The recompete landscape is modest. Fifty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $6.2 million in combined potential value—a small fraction of the $214.7 million total portfolio, indicating that most of the vendor's revenue base sits on evergreen IDIQs rather than time-bound orders. The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since 2001, demonstrating two decades of continuous federal contracting presence in DLA supply chains. Performance is executed in Pontiac, Michigan, with deliveries routed to DLA depots throughout the Continental United States and overseas consolidation points via standard containerization protocols.
