Palmdale supplier lands 3-year Los Angeles County deal

Cosmic Reliable Services, a woman-owned industrial and construction supply company in Palmdale, won a three-year master agreement with Los Angeles County Public Works for paint and paint supplies, with a two-year extension option. The award gives the company a longer runway in local government contracting and adds a federal set-aside path after its SBA Woman-Owned Small Business certification in April 2026.

Why it matters: - The Los Angeles County award gives Cosmic Reliable Services a stable public-sector contract that can run for up to five years with the extension option. - The deal expands a local supplier’s reach from county work into a broader government contracting pipeline. - The SBA Woman-Owned Small Business certification also opens access to federal set-aside work and subcontracting roles tied to small-business goals.

What happened: - Cosmic Reliable Services secured a three-year master agreement with Los Angeles County Public Works to supply paint and paint supplies. - The agreement includes a two-year extension option. - The company is based in Palmdale, California, and is woman-owned. - Cosmic Reliable has supplied paint and industrial materials for five years. - Cosmic Reliable has worked with multiple Los Angeles County departments for the past four years.

The details: - County customers include the Flood Control District, the Facilities Management Section, and Road Maintenance. - The company’s product line has expanded from paint into steel, welding supplies, air conditioning supplies, safety supplies, and hardware, including nuts and bolts. - Cosmic Reliable earned SBA Woman-Owned Small Business certification in April 2026. - FEDCON supported the certification application and helped rebuild the company’s federal profile. - That work included an active SAM registration, corrected NAICS and PSC codes, and a complete SBA Small Business Search profile with a capability statement attached. - Contracting officers and prime contractors search those systems by product. - Before that work, Cosmic Reliable was difficult to find in those systems. - Cosmic Reliable works with FEDCON advisor John Graham on opportunity research, buyer outreach, and bid support. - The company’s website is cosmicreliableservices.com.

Between the lines: - The county agreement is a strong fit because Cosmic Reliable already sells the same kinds of goods the county buys. - The federal certification changes the company’s go-to-market strategy from a single local channel to two parallel paths: county procurement and federal contracting. - FEDCON founder and CEO Brad Egbert framed the move as a shorter route to government work than chasing large federal awards first. - Rhonda Burr, owner of Cosmic Reliable Services, said FEDCON gave her confidence to start bidding, whether she wins or loses.

What's next: - Cosmic Reliable can now pursue more county opportunities while the Los Angeles County master agreement is active. - The company is positioned to compete for federal set-asides and subcontracting work that require Woman-Owned Small Business participation. - Continued bid support and buyer outreach could help the company convert its certifications into additional public-sector contracts.

The bottom line: - Cosmic Reliable Services turned local government buying into a growth path, and the new county award plus SBA certification gives the Palmdale supplier more ways to win work.
