Purchase Order 47QSSC26P0H70

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Ponderosa Packaging Corp., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Melville, New York, for the fabrication and delivery of a pallet base shipping box. The specific product is a reusable corrugated shipping container measuring 40 inches in width by 48 inches in length with a 0.300-inch gauge, featuring four-way forklift entry capability and slide locking devices for secure cargo containment. The contract carries a ceiling value of $1,040 and does not include a set-aside designation, allowing Ponderosa to compete on equal footing across federal procurement opportunities. The award was executed on December 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 29, 2025, and the place of performance is located in Huntington Station, New York.

This purchase order likely derives from Ponderosa's existing indefinite delivery vehicle agreements with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which include a $47 million single-award contract under the GSA Global Supply program. As an established supplier of corrugated fiberboard packaging solutions to federal agencies, Ponderosa Packaging Corp. has demonstrated consistent capability in delivering custom and standard shipping containers that meet rigorous government specifications. The company's broader contract portfolio, which includes a $27.6 million IDV with the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution and a $5 million Federal Supply Schedule contract through June 2030, positions it as a versatile vendor capable of addressing diverse federal packaging and logistics requirements.
