Government Buyers
Buying from us
We are a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and a dealer. We quote current
delivered pricing, we take the government purchase card, and we will tell you plainly
what we cannot certify.
The fastest path is the purchase card
Most of what we sell lands well under the micro-purchase threshold, which means you
can buy it on the card without a solicitation.
Up to $15,000
Raised from $10,000 effective 1 October 2025. GSA SmartPay card accepted. Send us the
item, the quantity, and the delivery point, and we return a quote you can act on
the same day.
Up to $25,000
For emergency, disaster or contingency support the micro-purchase threshold rises to
$25,000 and the simplified acquisition threshold to $1,000,000 (FAR 2.101, 13.201(g)(1)).
Standby power and emergency equipment is what that authority exists for.
Up to $350,000
Raised from $250,000. FAR Part 13 procedures. We quote, and we tell you up front which
lines can carry a set-aside and which cannot — see below.
threshold a card buy needs no contract action, no invoice cycle and no payment office.
The order closes in a day and the whole file is a quote and a receipt. We take the
purchase card across the full micro-purchase range.
SDVOSB status does not help you procedurally, and a card buy does not earn your agency
small-business goaling credit — micro-purchases are not reported to FPDS. So buy from us
because the product is right, the origin is documented and the quote comes back the same
day. Not because of what we are.
What we can and cannot certify
This is the part most dealer websites leave out, and it is the part that will
cost you a protest if it is wrong.
It applies to every SDVOSB set-aside
Under 13 CFR 121.406, a dealer bidding a set-aside must supply the end item of a
small business manufacturer, made in the United States, unless a
waiver applies. That rule reaches SDVOSB set-asides at every dollar value — not just
above the simplified acquisition threshold.
So we will tell you, per line, whether it qualifies.
Where it does not, we will say so rather than let you find out at award.
We certify from documents, not from brands
Most of what we sell is a commercial off-the-shelf item, and the Buy American domestic
content test is waived for COTS — with one exception we will raise before you do.
The COTS waiver does not reach items made wholly or predominantly of iron or
steel (FAR 25.101(a)(2)(ii)). Grab bars, steel ramps, enclosures and similar
are held to a stricter test, not an easier one.
So we answer origin from a manufacturer document, and for
iron-and-steel items we ask the manufacturer specifically about foreign iron and steel
content. Where we do not hold that, our catalog says “unverified” and we will
not certify. A brand’s headquarters is not where a product is built.

manufacturer document on file →
Or every line the
manufacturer states is US-made, documented or not →
$350,000 does not trigger the nonmanufacturer rule, while an SDVOSB set-aside
does — at any value. If you have discretion over how an action is structured, that is
worth knowing before it is issued.

Primary/Additional NAICS and PSC codes above are unset and need
deciding — coordinated with the Global Partners parent-entity SAM registration
since it needs to serve both Overwatch DBAs. Do not register 238xxx construction
codes: that self-certifies installation as a line of business in a public federal
database, which is precisely what the no-install posture exists to avoid.
Department of Veterans Affairs
VA is the reason this business is shaped the way it is. Under the VA Acquisition
Regulation, contracting officers give priority to verified service-disabled
veteran-owned firms, and the VA Rule of Two requires setting an action aside for them
where two or more are expected to offer at a fair and reasonable price.
We are equally reachable through routine channels — a card purchase from a VA medical
centre or a VISN facility needs no vehicle at all, and that is usually the quickest way
to get equipment to a veteran who needs it.
Where we are working toward
- VA FSS Schedule 65 II F — Patient Mobility Devices (PSC 6530), which is
where rollators, walkers, wheelchairs and portable ramp systems sit. Note the Trade
Agreements Act applies to Schedule orders, so only US or designated-country product can go
on one. - DLA ECAT — used by VA for medical items not available on existing
contracts.
Neither vehicle is held today and this section must not imply otherwise. It currently reads
as aspiration, which is accurate — keep it that way until an award exists. Also worth
knowing internally: VA OIG has reported that the ECAT ordering guide misapplies the Rule of
Two in a way that has excluded veteran-owned firms.
How to order
- Send us the requirement. Item or SKU, quantity, delivery point, and
the date you need it. Quote request form, or email us directly. - We quote in writing. Manufacturer, country of manufacture, lead time,
delivered price, and — if you are running a set-aside — whether the line satisfies the
nonmanufacturer rule. - You buy. Card, purchase order, or however your action is structured.
- We order and ship to your delivery point, with tracking.
We do not install, and no quote from us includes installation. Where equipment needs
installing, that is arranged separately by you with a contractor of your choosing.
