Taylor Enterprises Of VA, LLC

Taylor Enterprises Of VA, LLC, doing business as Taylor Freezer Sales Company, manufactures and supplies commercial soft-serve ice cream makers and related foodservice equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under small business set-asides. The Chesapeake, Virginia-based for-profit limited liability company is a small business that competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-aside designations on DLA Troop Support Subsistence indefinite delivery contracts, though a significant portion of its recent award portfolio consists of non-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders against those same vehicles.

Taylor Enterprises' federal footprint is heavily concentrated with a single customer. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 337 of 427 total awards (79% of award count) and $5.3 million of the combined $5.5 million potential value across all recent awards—a concentration of 96% by dollars. The remainder of the portfolio is scattered across DLA Land and Maritime (22 awards, $25 thousand), the Department of the Army (1 award, $87 thousand), DLA Aviation (5 awards, $3 thousand), the Department of the Navy and its Pacific Fleet Forces (4 and 3 awards respectively, combined $41 thousand), and nine other federal agencies with minimal recent activity.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on commercial foodservice equipment manufacturing. Across the award history, Taylor Enterprises supplies ice cream makers (identified as NSN "ICE CREAM MAKER,SOF" in 365 awards), beater assemblies for those machines, and occasional components including electromagnet relays, preformed packing, seat valves, and indicator lights. This mix reflects both the core business—soft-serve ice cream production equipment for military dining facilities—and incidental parts sourcing through DLA. Representative contract work includes a $70,623 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Troop Support for ice cream makers (Nov 2022), a $56,516 total small business set-aside purchase order for the same equipment (Nov 2022), multiple $20,877–$21,949 ice cream maker orders under total small business set-asides placed between May 2023 and March 2026, and delivery orders typically valued between $7,179 and $18,150 issued throughout the past five years.

Taylor Enterprises holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support Subsistence, each valued at $250,000. The most recent IDC (SPE3SE24D5029) was awarded June 26, 2024, with a one-year performance period and is set aside for small businesses; it has generated 12 delivery orders totaling $122 thousand in combined potential value. The prior year's IDC (SPE3SE23D5035, awarded April 26, 2023) generated 14 task orders worth $136 thousand. Earlier vehicles—SPE3SE18D5248, SPE3SE16D5066, and SPE3SE15D5006—collectively produced 51 prior delivery orders. All five vehicles are structured as single-award, total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts, and Taylor Enterprises uses them to place delivery orders ranging from $1,040 to $70,623.

Award activity shows modest year-over-year growth through 2024, with 13 awards in 2022 rising to 38 in 2024, then declining to 24 in 2025 and 8 in the first quarter of 2026. The company has received awards continuously since 1981, though the pace has accelerated significantly in the 2020s. By primary NAICS, 298 recent awards fall under Food Product Machinery Manufacturing (NAICS 333241), with smaller tranches in commercial refrigeration equipment and miscellaneous fabricated metal manufacturing. Performance location is consistently Chesapeake or South Norfolk, Virginia. The vendor has zero subcontract awards in the source data and operates solely as a prime contractor.
