About the company
The Scale People, Inc., a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Newport News, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor supplying precision weighing equipment, multi-level pipette calibration services (Levels 2–5), ISO 17025-certified balance calibration, and laboratory measurement instruments to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The company operates as a child entity under a parent vendor of the same name based in Columbia, Maryland.
The Scale People's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in DLA Troop Support Medical, which accounts for 1,996 awards (72% of the prime portfolio by count) and $1.02 billion in combined potential value (96% of total dollars). The remaining significant customer is DLA Aviation with 502 awards valued at $7.8 million. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 rounds out the top three with 60 awards worth $2.7 million. This concentration reflects the vendor's specialization in medical supply chain calibration and measurement equipment—a narrow, high-volume market segment where DLA Troop Support Medical dominates purchasing.
The company executes work under two primary parent indefinite delivery contracts with DLA: IDC SPE2DH18D0001 (1,247 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value) and IDC SPE2DH23D0004 (725 task orders, $874 thousand combined potential value). The Scale People also holds two single-award, small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 through December 2026, and appears on the Federal Supply Schedule (GS26F1022B) with 92 task orders and the Medical Equipment and Supplies GSA Schedule with 74 task orders worth $2.8 million. Recent awards include a $1,807.52 delivery order from DLA Medical Supply Chain on July 16, 2026, for Level 3 pipette calibration services; a $4,306.50 order on June 3, 2026, for Level 5 pipette calibration; a $15,920 total-small-business-set-aside order from DLA Aviation on May 28, 2026, for weighing scales; and a $12,512.60 delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs on September 15, 2025, for patient wheelchair scales under the Medical Equipment and Supplies GSA Schedule. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open, non-set-aside territory across its prime footprint, though some DLA Aviation orders carry total-small-business set-asides.
The portfolio is dominated by micro-transactions—the median award ceiling falls well below $2,000—issued at high frequency: 269 awards in 2022, declining to 125 awards through July 2026. The 2,761 total awards reflect a high-velocity, high-volume business model where DLA Troop Support Medical places dozens of small delivery orders monthly for specific calibration jobs and equipment items. Combined potential value sits at $1.06 billion, but only $10.9 million (1%) has been obligated, underscoring the ceiling-versus-spend gap inherent in medical supply chain procurement. Within 24 months from today, substantial recompete exposure exists as many of these routine delivery orders reach completion and may cycle back for rebidding under the parent IDVs.
The Scale People operates exclusively as a prime on all 2,761 awards in the source data (100% prime split, zero sub-awards). The vendor's core NAICS profile is split between Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (1,982 awards) and Scale and Balance Manufacturing (322 awards), with 238 awards in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. PSC concentration is similar: 1,968 awards under Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies; 494 under Scales and Balances. This narrow, repetitive procurement pattern reflects a specialized, calibration-services-centric business with little apparent pursuit of wider federal markets or growth beyond the DLA medical supply ecosystem.
