    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do wholesale and distribution companies win government contracts?
    Wholesale and distribution companies win government contracts primarily through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), VA supply chain programs, and direct agency procurement. To compete, firms must register in SAM.gov with relevant NAICS codes (423 for merchant wholesalers, 424 for farm product wholesalers, 493110 for warehousing and storage), establish a GSA Schedule or DLA vendor profile, demonstrate warehouse and distribution capabilities, and meet federal compliance requirements including DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) clauses and packaging standards. SamSearch aggregates DLA long-term contracts, GSA schedule opportunities, VA supply chain RFPs, military commissary contracts, and USPS logistics opportunities in one platform with AI to surface the most relevant contracts for your distribution network.
    What types of government wholesale and distribution contracts are available?
    The federal government awards over $250 billion annually in supply chain and logistics contracts. Available work includes: DLA long-term contracts for military supplies and equipment; GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) opportunities; VA supply chain and medical/pharmaceutical distribution; military commissary and exchange wholesale partnerships; USPS logistics and mail handling services; FEMA disaster relief supply chain contracts; federal agency commodity procurement; medical equipment and pharmaceuticals distribution; technology and IT equipment distribution; and subsistence and food service supply contracts. DLA manages the largest federal wholesale operation, awarding thousands of delivery orders annually across multiple commodity categories.
    What are DLA long-term contracts and how do they work?
    DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) long-term contracts (LTCs) are multi-year blanket purchase agreements for military supplies, equipment, and services. Vendors bid to become approved distributors and then compete on individual delivery orders throughout the contract term, typically 3-5 years. LTCs offer substantial volume potential but require competitive pricing, reliable delivery, and compliance with DFARS requirements including hazard tracking, quality assurance, and documentation standards. Winners participate in regular delivery order competitions based on factors like price, delivery, and past performance. SamSearch helps distributors find upcoming DLA LTC solicitations, understand technical requirements, and track delivery order opportunities within existing DLA contracts.
    Do wholesale distributors need GSA Schedule contracts?
    GSA Schedule contracts (also called Federal Supply Schedules or Multiple Award Schedules) are not required but highly beneficial. A GSA Schedule provides automatic access to all federal agencies through the GSA eLibrary, improves agency buying visibility, and establishes your pricing, delivery terms, and product availability across multiple distribution categories. GSA contracts simplify procurement for agencies and increase your sales opportunities. Many federal agencies prefer suppliers on GSA schedules because the contracting vehicle is pre-competed. Wholesale distributors can hold multiple GSA Schedules for different commodity groups (office supplies, IT equipment, industrial supplies, etc.), and SamSearch helps identify which schedules match your wholesale distribution product lines.
