Specialized government contracting business focused exclusively on supplying the U.S. Department of Defense with non-munitions products, primarily mechanical and industrial supplies. The company currently has five transferable DOD contracts in place, providing a strong foundation for continued operations and future expansion.
The business has been designed for efficiency and can be operated essentially as a one-person operation, with streamlined systems handling much of the order process. Orders are received electronically, accepted and fulfilled, packaged according to DOD requirements, and submitted for government pickup. A third-party shipping provider manages compliant shipping labels, further simplifying the fulfillment process.
The seller is willing to remain after the sale to train and transition the new owner, providing valuable insight into the government contracting process, existing contracts, suppliers, and operating procedures.

Growth Potential
The current operation represents only a portion of the potential available within the government supply market. A buyer with additional working capital can pursue larger contracts and bid on higher-value products that may require substantial upfront purchasing capacity. Increasing the number and size of contracts could provide a meaningful path for expansion without requiring a significant increase in overhead.
With transferable contracts, an automated workflow, minimal staffing requirements, seller transition support, and opportunities for substantial product margins, this business offers an attractive platform for a buyer looking to enter or expand within DOD government contracting.
