Tri-State Technical Sales Corp

Tri-State Technical Sales Corp is a for-profit industrial equipment distributor headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, that has been registered to receive federal contract awards since February 2002. The company specializes in supplying critical mechanical and electronic components to the U.S. Department of Defense, with particular expertise in industrial process control equipment essential for military logistics, maintenance, and operational readiness. Tri-State's core business focuses on distributing specialized industrial parts including valves, gauges, switches, and related mechanical components that support the maintenance and repair of aviation, maritime, and land-based military systems across multiple branches of the armed forces.

Tri-State Technical Sales Corp has demonstrated substantial contracting experience through numerous prime federal contract awards spanning from 2023 through 2025, with individual purchase orders and delivery orders typically ranging from under $100 to several hundred thousand dollars. The company has received awards from multiple Defense Logistics Agency divisions, including DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, as well as from the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, U.S. Coast Guard, and Department of Defense construction and equipment divisions. The types of goods supplied have encompassed solenoid valves, ball valves, regulating valves, globe lift check valves, dial pressure gauges, differential gauges, handwheels, spiral wound gaskets, pressure switches, electrical coils, bearing components, spacer plates, thermal release heaters, flowmeters, mechanical seal kits, heating elements, and various parts kits and repair kits for fluid control systems. Contract values have ranged from small routine purchases under $300 to significant awards exceeding $500,000, with many contracts designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting Tri-State's status as a qualified small business vendor. The company has acted as prime contractor on the vast majority of its awards, with one documented subcontract to Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC for crucial repair part valve actuators in August 2024. Tri-State's customer base reflects DoD-wide demand for reliable industrial component suppliers, with DLA components representing the preponderance of awards, supplemented by direct Navy and Coast Guard procurements.

Tri-State Technical Sales Corp currently holds or has recently held four active indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, collectively representing up to $1 million in potential ceiling value. The most recent IDC, awarded March 27, 2024, is a single-award contract with DLA Aviation valued at $250,000 for the supply of differential gauges, with a performance period extending through March 26, 2029. A second active IDC awarded June 28, 2023, also valued at $250,000, covers dial pressure gauges for DLA Aviation through June 27, 2028, and has already generated over $855,000 in aggregate task order value to date across multiple delivery orders. A third IDC, awarded May 22, 2023, with a ceiling of $250,000 and designated as a total small business set-aside, covers handwheels and other components for DLA Land and Maritime, initially scheduled through May 21, 2024, and has supported several task orders including significant handwheel deliveries valued at nearly $10,000 each. An additional small business set-aside IDC awarded February 7, 2023, valued at $250,000, covers spiral wound gaskets for DLA Land and Maritime with an initial performance period through February 7, 2024. Finally, an earlier small business set-aside IDC awarded December 16, 2021, valued at $250,000, covered solenoid valves for DLA Land and Maritime through December 16, 2022. These indefinite delivery vehicles enable the Defense Logistics Agency to efficiently procure critical industrial components on an as-needed basis from a qualified small business supplier, ensuring the availability of essential spare parts and repair components necessary to maintain military equipment readiness across the Department of Defense.
