YKC Distribution, LLC

YKC Distribution, LLC, a Black American-owned and minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Sugarcreek Township, Ohio, supplies specialized electrical and electronic components — transformers, relays, motors, pumps, filters, and related industrial equipment — to the Defense Logistics Agency as a 100% prime contractor, competing under both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations.

YKC Distribution operates as a for-profit limited liability company registered in SAM since June 2022. The vendor competes across both open competition and set-aside channels; of the 47 prime awards in the source, approximately 40% carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, with the remainder competed full-and-open. The company self-performs all work without material subcontractor involvement.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for all 47 awards and all $1.8 million in combined potential value across three divisions: Land and Maritime (41 awards, $1.8 million), Aviation (4 awards, $10 thousand), and Troop Support Construction and Equipment (2 awards, $18 thousand). Land and Maritime dominates the portfolio entirely. Representative awards include a $169,404 Total Small Business purchase order for 114 pulse transformers (NSN 5950012978517) awarded August 28, 2025 with delivery due February 12, 2026; a $183,560 Total Small Business order for 12 electromagnetic relay units (NSN 5945004817754) awarded July 19, 2024; and a $162,580 Total Small Business contract for 110 pulse transformers (NSN 5950012978517) awarded August 15, 2024. The most recent award, dated January 16, 2026, is a $100,188 open-competition purchase order for 66 pulse transformers with an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2026.

YKC holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime, effective November 4, 2025, through November 4, 2026, with a $350,000 ceiling for ongoing supply of electromagnetic relays (NSN 5945004817754). This contract, set aside for Total Small Business, carries an anticipated demand of approximately four orders per year and a guaranteed minimum of five units. All work is performed at the vendor's headquarters in Sugarcreek Township.

Activity has contracted sharply. YKC awarded 28 purchase orders in 2024, 10 in 2023, 8 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 through mid-January. The vendor faces significant recompete exposure: the source does not provide explicit recompete-cliff data, but the concentration of 2024 awards and their typical 12-month performance windows indicate that a substantial portion of the vendor's 2024 volume will complete or approach completion inside the next eighteen to twenty-four months. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.8 million, with $1.5 million obligated (81% of ceiling).

The vendor's portfolio is dominated by transformers and related electromechanical components. The top NAICS categories reflect this: Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (10 awards), Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (7 awards), and Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (6 awards). Top PSC codes align — Coils and Transformers (17 awards), Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments (7 awards), and Relays and Solenoids (6 awards) — with the remainder spread across fluid power, motors, pumps, and filtration. YKC's value proposition is specialized sourcing and on-time delivery of hard-to-source military-logistics components, not engineering or integration services.
