Purchase Order FA480925P0144

The Air Force Air Combat Command awarded a $357,777.77 firm fixed-price purchase order to Western Metal Supply Company, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Escondido, California, to design, procure, and install a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabric siding and roof membrane for Building 4737, a prefabricated stress tension shelter at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. The contract, set aside for total small business, requires Western Metal Supply to implement an immediate temporary solution and replace the existing membrane on the 50-foot by 212-foot by 25-foot structure with white roof panels and tan sidewall panels that comply with Berry Amendment requirements, NFPA 701 fire safety standards, and are constructed of 28-ounce PVC-coated polyester. The work must be completed by January 23, 2026, and includes structural drawings stamped by a North Carolina professional engineer, comprehensive warranty coverage (five years for materials and workmanship, 20 years for finish, and 10 years for weather tightness), and protection of an existing External Aircraft Fuel Tank Storage System housed within the building.

Western Metal Supply Company brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement through an existing $23.8 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with Air Combat Command focused on pre-engineered steel aircraft sunshades and related infrastructure services. The contractor has demonstrated consistent capability in delivering specialized military construction solutions across multiple Air Force bases, particularly at Seymour Johnson, and maintains operational capabilities in both California and North Carolina. This purchase order award represents a focused task delivery under the existing IDIQ contract vehicle and reflects the contractor's established expertise in military facility infrastructure projects within the Air Force portfolio.
