Spoon, tea

Sherrill Manufacturing, Inc., the sole remaining domestic stainless steel flatware manufacturer in the United States, was awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order valued at $1,594.16 by the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), the civilian procurement arm of the General Services Administration. The contract, issued on September 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2025, covers the supply of tea spoons and related stainless steel dining utensils in the Windsor pattern. This call order represents one of over one hundred individual orders Sherrill Manufacturing has received through its parent single-award BPA (Contract No. GS07F0485V|47QSSC24A000V) established under the GSA's Multiple Award Schedule program, which carries a $1 million ceiling and enables direct delivery to both military and civilian federal customers. The contract utilizes a fixed-price pricing structure with economic price adjustment provisions and specifies performance at the company's manufacturing facility in Sherrill, New York. There is no set-aside designation associated with this award.

Sherrill Manufacturing holds SBA certifications as a HUBZone firm and self-certified small disadvantaged business, positioning the company as a critical strategic supplier within federal procurement frameworks. The broader parent BPA, established on March 18, 2024, and expiring March 17, 2026, operates under the BPAS and SQS procurement vehicles, which allow the company to fulfill recurring federal demand for domestically manufactured flatware products without requiring individual competitive solicitations for each order. The Federal Acquisition Service funding reflects sustained federal reliance on the company's domestic manufacturing capacity to support meal service operations across military installations and civilian federal agencies nationwide.
