327999: All Other Miscellaneous Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing

DLA Troop Support and DLA Aviation dominate this market, together accounting for over 12,400 awards worth $124.32M. These two buyers purchase supplies and materials for military operations and maintenance. Most awards go to unrestricted competition, though roughly 1,600 awards went to SBA set-asides. The median award of $3.4K signals that individual orders are small, but the 696 distinct vendors on record show the market accepts new entrants.

A firm considering this space should know that volume matters more than deal size. The typical award is under $4K, so success requires efficient operations and reliable delivery rather than large capital investments. With 18,888 total awards over 26 years, the market is active but fragmented. Small business set-asides represent less than 10 percent of awards, meaning most competition is open to all vendors regardless of size.

Watch the 104 contracts expiring within the next 12 months, worth $2.84M combined. These represent recompete opportunities. The 13 active notices suggest new procurement activity is underway. Since DLA Troop Support and DLA Aviation control the majority of spending, monitor their upcoming solicitations closely. The small median award size means success depends on becoming a reliable, low-cost supplier rather than winning a single large contract.
