The company
Tamco
Tamco distributes MIL-spec valves, fittings, and components for Navy and defense marine applications. It sits in the DLA supply chain as a channel for manufacturers that need a path into military procurement.
Before SamSearch
Your parts hide inside a much larger DLA and Navy feed
Valve and fitting work for Navy and DLA does not arrive in a clean inbox. It sits inside a wider defense-supply volume: adjacent NSNs, wrong commodities, solicitations for parts Tamco does not carry. Finding the MIL-spec catalog matches means reading past a lot of near-miss defense listings first, across SAM.gov, DIBBS, and related supply boards.
How they use SamSearch
The capture workflow
Tamco runs discovery in SamSearch against that supply-board noise: 227 recommendation runs screening 8,803 candidate solicitations down to 4,206. A lean distributor desk stays on the MIL-spec valve and fitting RFQs that match the catalog, not every adjacent defense listing.
