213113: Support Activities for Coal Mining

Defense Logistics Agency buyers account for most of this market. DLA Aviation made 3,164 awards worth $23.46M, and DLA Land and Maritime made 2,520 awards worth $18.17M. Together they account for about 92% of the 6,169 awards and about 77% of the $53.96M in dollars from FY2001 to FY2026. Other buyers in the top six include Military Sealift Command, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, and DLA Troop Support, each with fewer than 100 awards. The notice does not describe how these awards were issued, such as the contract vehicle or ordering method.

Awards are very small. The median award is $2.1K, and the notice does not give an average. Competition looks broad, with 576 distinct vendors across the period. Most awards, 4,153, are coded NONE for set-aside, and another 1,616 have no set-aside recorded. Awards coded SBA number 373, with smaller counts for SDVOSBC (17), HZC (6), RSB (2), and WOSB (2). The notice does not explain what these codes mean for eligibility. A firm weighing this market should note that the work is high in volume and low in value per award, and that the top two buyers dominate it.

Over the next year, the main signal is the 54 contracts worth $1.19M that end within 12 months. Those expirations may show where recompetition or new orders could come, though the notice does not say whether these will be re-awarded. There are also 2 active notices, and the notice does not list their details. Firms should check those notices directly and watch whether the DLA buyers keep their current pace. The notice does not provide trend data by year, so any change in volume cannot be measured from this record alone.
