About W S Darley & Co
W S Darley & Co, a small business manufacturer and distributor of firefighting, tactical, and emergency response equipment headquartered in Itasca, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor on a massive federal procurement portfolio dominated by Defense Logistics Agency task orders under total small business set-asides. The company holds the $330 million Special Operations Equipment Tailored Logistics Support (SOE-TLS) IDIQ awarded February 3, 2026, and executes nearly all of its federal work through that vehicle and related fire and emergency services equipment contracts, with 99.96% of awards issued as prime contracts and less than 0.04% as subcontract work.
W S Darley & Co's customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division accounts for 34,778 awards (87% of the award count) carrying a combined potential value of $221.42 billion—nearly 81% of the company's total $273.99 billion portfolio. This represents a near-monolithic dependency on a single customer and single parent vehicle. The SOE-TLS IDIQ alone anchors 16,385 task orders worth $4.95 billion in combined potential value. Secondary customers including the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (571 awards, $43.5 million), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (417 awards, $29.5 million), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (49 awards, $140.1 million) are negligible in comparison.
The company's capability footprint reflects its role as a specialized equipment distributor. Award scope concentrates in marine lifesaving and diving equipment (19,981 awards), electric lamps and lighting components (7,104 awards combined across multiple PSC codes), firefighting equipment (4,559 awards), and safety and rescue equipment (3,724 awards). Recent delivery orders illustrate the breadth: a $8.52 million JFTI Trainer System procurement (April 2026), a $7.21 million simulation device order (April 2026), a $5.68 million universal submarine equipment package (April 2026), a $5.33 million Atlas aircraft air inert attack system (April 2026), a $2.48 million assault respirator order from DFAS (July 2026), a $2.11 million deployable comms kit (April 2026), and a $1.64 million power resistor assembly (April 2026). Smaller orders dominate by count—LED lamps, spectacles, connectors, and cable assemblies in quantities numbering in the hundreds.
Activity has declined measurably: the company executed 3,649 awards in 2024 and 3,780 in 2025, but only 916 awards through September 2026, suggesting a sharp contraction in task-order velocity or a shift in how awards are being counted. The company faces recompete exposure of $1.42 billion across 1,110 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months. W S Darley & Co also holds a position on the 6th Generation Fire and Emergency Services Equipment Tailored Logistics Support multiple-award IDIQ, supporting orders for portable emergency response training equipment, emergency generators, particulate recovery systems, and remote manifold systems—work that occurs outside the SOE-TLS vehicle but with similarly low-dollar task orders.
The company's obligated federal revenue totals $7.53 billion against a $273.99 billion potential-value ceiling, reflecting the typical lag in invoice generation on government task orders. All awards in the recent portfolio carry total small business set-aside designations; the company competes exclusively under set-asides rather than full-and-open. A single sub-award surfaces in the source—a $115,810 Anafi UKR drone kit supply to Valiant Global Defense Services Inc. for Special Operations Forces training support (November 2025). W S Darley & Co functions as a vendor-distribution hub for Defense Logistics Agency supply chain operations rather than a systems integrator or professional services firm, with pricing, scope, and award frequency controlled by DLA's demand-pull model for standardized equipment and supplies.
