W & S Supply Co., Inc.

W & S Supply Co Inc., doing business as Elizabeth Industrial, supplies commercial power tools, hand tools, outdoor equipment, and industrial hardware to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, holding SBA Women-Owned Small Business certification. The company is headquartered in Elmwood Park, New Jersey.

Elizabeth Industrial's federal footprint centers on GSA schedule delivery orders—205 task orders carrying $941 thousand in combined potential value—with orders averaging under five thousand dollars per task and spanning commercial off-the-shelf products from manufacturers including DeWalt, Milwaukee, and STIHL. Representative awards include a $49.5 thousand delivery order from US Special Operations Command in August 2023 for STIHL 20-inch rescue saws; a $43.3 thousand delivery order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in June 2025 for cut-off saws supporting the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs; a $25.7 thousand delivery order from Region 8 Southern Region in July 2024 for STIHL brushcutters and replacement blades (Total Small Business set-aside); and a $22.8 thousand delivery order from Air Mobility Command in October 2022 for electric portable and hand lighting equipment. Most recent awards from April and March 2026 reflect continued micro-purchasing activity—individual tools at $139 to $627 per order.

GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates customer concentration, accounting for 115 of 227 awards (74% coverage) with $2.4 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is the second-largest customer at 39 awards, $141 thousand combined potential value, with delivery orders for power tool kits, magnetic drill kits, welding equipment, and components supporting radar restoration and antenna maintenance initiatives. A cluster of smaller agency customers—Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (6 awards), Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (5 awards), and Department of the Air Force Air Combat Management (4 awards)—rounds out the top five, each placing episodic tool orders. Tension between the two rankings is minimal: GSA's overwhelming volume and dollar dominance remain consistent.

Elizabeth Industrial holds no parent vehicles beyond the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and does not subcontract. The company competes full-and-open on GSA Schedule; recent awards include both unset-aside and Total Small Business set-aside designations, with set-asides appearing in approximately 20% of recent delivery orders.

Activity has declined materially. Award volume fell from 27 orders in 2022 to five in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a shift toward lower-frequency, lower-value task orders. Of the company's 227 awards, 151 (66%) have ultimate completion dates already past as of July 2026, with only 36 awards (16% of the portfolio) carrying completion dates in the next twenty-four months, totaling approximately $218 thousand in combined potential value. This aging portfolio and declining year-over-year award velocity signal either reduced federal demand for catalog-sourced hand tools or competitive loss of share on GSA Schedule call-downs.
