What DLSC does
DLSC (Deh Sabzwal Logistic Services Co.Ltd.) is a Kabul, Afghanistan-headquartered logistics and supply company that provides general procurement, catering, warehousing, transportation, and facility-maintenance services to international organizations, diplomatic missions, NGOs, defense and development contractors, and local communities. Founded in 2003 as a partnership and restructured as a Co.Ltd. in 2011, the company has expanded its scope from a frozen-meats supplier into a broad one-stop procurement and logistics platform covering fresh and dry foods, stationery, agriculture tools, construction materials, hygiene supplies, maintenance goods, electronics, catering, and rental warehouses and vehicles. Its underlying capabilities include a temperature-controlled transportation fleet, an international food-importing system, HACCP-accredited handling, and a multi-region distribution footprint spanning Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Nangarhar, Kandahar, and a procurement office in Dubai, UAE.
The company makes money through supply contracts, recurring procurement agreements, catering service fees, and rental income on warehouses and vehicles, with a pricing posture positioned at "minimal value" to anchor institutional customers. Its customer base is concentrated among large international buyers — defense and development contractors (KBR, Tetra Tech, PAE, ANHAM, Supreme International, DAI, AMS), security and humanitarian operators (G4S, Rescue, AFGS, AUAF), diplomatic entities (France Embassy), and local residential/retail clusters (Darya Village, Cohan Village, Green Village, Baron) — selling into a limited but high-spend institutional market inside Afghanistan. The firm is privately held with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and a disclosed headcount of 5, and operates against a stack of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 22000:2018, ISO 45001:2018, and HACCP certifications that pre-qualify it for institutional tenders.

DLSC competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Supreme Group: Supreme Group is one of the largest specialist food and supply-chain providers to military, humanitarian, and government clients in conflict and post-conflict zones, including Afghanistan. It is the most direct peer to DLSC's food import, cold chain, and base-life-support model.
- ANHAM FZ-LLC: ANHAM is a global provider of food, catering, and logistics services to U.S. government and humanitarian clients in Afghanistan and the broader Middle East. Directly overlaps with DLSC's catering, food distribution, and remote-site supply business.
