Our History

Started in 2006 as “Veteran Sales and Service, LLC” and later changing the name to VSS Logistics, we didn’t open with big financial backing or influential board members. We started out in a spare bedroom as we focused on earning industrial supply business at military bases throughout South Carolina and Georgia under the 2001 Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business executive order.

During VSS’ first year of operation Marine Corp Recruit Depot, Parris Island SC, awarded VSS an IDIQ to manage electrical supplies for the Facilities Maintenance Department. Over the next ten years VSS maintained onsite inventory in support of day to day operations at the depot, Where Marines Are Made.

By the end of 2006 VSS had grown to four employees and began looking for office space. VSS strategically targeted the Historically Underutilzed Business Zone of Savannah, GA and added SBA HUBZone certification to their socio-economic status.

VSS Logistics early focus on maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) equipment led us to immediately pursue a GSA 51V Hardware Super Store Multiple Award Schedule awarded under contract number GS-21F-0018U.

During production of the F-22 at Dobbins AFB in Marietta, GA we were awarded a subcontract support maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) of the facilities. Working at the facility led us to multiple national opportunities at prime contractor Lockheed Martin.

Based on the success of VSS’ performance at Georgia’s F-22 facility, we began supporting multiple opportunities at Lockheed Martin, including the AGM-114R Hellfire II in Grand Prairie Texas.

These boxes were distributed onto the Marine Corp Prepositioning Ships to maintain a state of forward readiness.
