Purchase Order 47QSSC26P07Y1

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded Ponderosa Packaging Corp., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer, a purchase order valued at $8,000 for the fabrication of reusable pallet base shipping boxes. The specifications call for corrugated fiberboard boxes measuring 40 inches wide by 48 inches long with a 0.300-inch gauge, four-way forklift entry capability, and slide locking devices for secure shipment. Performance is scheduled for completion by November 16, 2025, at the contractor's facility in Huntington Station, New York. This contract was awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation, allowing Ponderosa to compete openly against other qualified vendors.

This purchase order likely represents a delivery order against Ponderosa Packaging Corp.'s existing multiple award schedules with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, including a $47 million indefinite delivery vehicle under the GSA Global Supply program and a $5 million Federal Supply Schedule contract. The award continues Ponderosa's established role as a primary supplier of custom corrugated packaging solutions to federal government agencies. The company's expertise in manufacturing shipping and storage containers meeting rigorous government specifications positions it as a reliable vendor for GSA's broader civilian agency procurement needs.
