Veteran Military Contracting

Veteran Military Contracting, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, manufactures and supplies mechanical spare parts and components for military vehicles, vessels, and aircraft to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides. The company holds valid SBA certifications for both SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Small Business status through February 17, 2028, and is also self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned enterprise.

Veteran Military Contracting's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency across four subordinate components. The company has received 224 prime contract awards totaling $11.2 million in combined potential value since December 2017, with $6.2 million obligated to date (56% of potential value). Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 173 awards and $8.6 million combined potential value, DLA Aviation holds 35 awards and $2.1 million, and two smaller DLA Troop Support components account for the remaining $565 thousand across 16 awards. The two customer-ranking metrics align perfectly — the same components rank first and second by both order count and dollar value.

The vendor's product portfolio spans specialized mechanical components essential to military maintenance and logistics. Recent representative work includes a $480,732 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation (April 2025) for 118 bearing half sleeve units; a $256,950 SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2022) for arm and swivel components; a $212,280 SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (November 2021) for tie-down plates; and a $158,155 SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (February 2025) for breechblocks. Typical orders span bell cranks, actuating cylinders, bearing sleeves, ball valves, splash bars, connecting link rigging, retaining plates, housing cylinders, and specialized fasteners and mechanical assemblies identified by National Stock Numbers. The product mix reflects top NAICS concentration in Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (92 awards) and Hardware Manufacturing (21 awards), with secondary concentration in Aircraft Parts Manufacturing and Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing.

Veteran Military Contracting holds a portfolio of eleven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA components, with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $1,046,500. The largest is a $1,046,500 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for bell cranks and related components (awarded August 2022, extending through August 2027), which has generated sixteen delivery orders totaling approximately $759,225 in obligations since March 2023. Eight additional $250,000-ceiling single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime cover splash bars, mounting brackets, connecting link rigging, and housing cylinders, awarded between October 2022 and January 2026. A $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation for spacer sleeves (awarded November 2023, extending through November 2028) has generated two delivery orders of $22,440 each. Two additional single-award $350,000-ceiling IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded February 2026 and January 2026) cover chute sections and splash bars. Activity has grown steadily from 15 awards in 2022 to a peak of 36 awards in 2024, with 34 awards in 2025 and 4 awards through March 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 15 awards with combined potential value of $349 thousand reach ultimate completion and face recompete risk.

Approximately 65 percent of Veteran Military Contracting's prime contract awards carry SDVOSB set-aside designations, reflecting DLA's strategic preference for veteran-owned suppliers in the defense industrial base. The remaining 35 percent compete full-and-open. The vendor manufactures and assembles products at facilities in Spring Grove, Carlisle, and Gardners, Pennsylvania, with typical delivery timeframes of 90 to 225 days after order placement to DLA distribution centers across the continental United States and overseas consolidation points. Veteran Military Contracting operates as a pure prime contractor with no recorded subcontract activity in the source data; all work is performed directly at company facilities.
