Purchase Order 47QSWA26P0M55

The Federal Acquisition Service awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $1,719.00 to F & M Micro Products Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Lake Balboa, California, for the supply of aluminum identification plates (placards) compliant with 49 CFR Part 172.519. The deliverable is a flip-type placard with interchangeable inscriptions allowing the identification to be switched between a blank page and various explosives classification markings (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6) as required. The contract was awarded on March 27, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of May 11, 2026, and no set-aside designation was applied at the individual purchase order level.

This award was issued under F & M Micro Products Inc.'s existing single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service valued at $4.5 million and effective through April 14, 2026. As a broad-based federal supplier, the company maintains an extensive inventory of common-use items, maintenance equipment, and specialty materials serving civilian federal agencies. The company has demonstrated substantial contracting activity with FAS, receiving over 150 purchase orders since early January 2026, with individual task orders and purchase orders ranging from under $10 to approximately $6,000. The placard order supports federal compliance with Department of Transportation hazardous materials labeling requirements, enabling agencies to efficiently mark and identify explosive materials during transportation and storage operations.
