Lake Shore Systems, Inc., a Kingsford, Michigan-based precision manufacturing company with over 160 years of federal contracting experience, was awarded a $36,093.75 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Supply Systems Command on March 19, 2024. The contract calls for the repair or modification of five resilient mounts (NSN 7H-5340-013786634) with an ultimate completion date of September 25, 2024. This non-competitive award was issued under FAR 6.302-1, allowing the Navy to negotiate with a single source based on demonstrated capability and past performance. Resilient mounts are critical mechanical components used across naval vessels and maritime equipment to isolate vibration and reduce operational stress on ship systems.
Lake Shore Systems was well-positioned to secure this award given its extensive history supplying hydraulic components, mechanical parts, and specialized maritime equipment to the Department of Defense and its established relationships with Naval Sea Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency. The company currently holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency valued at $250,000 each, demonstrating its reliability in fulfilling complex manufacturing and repair requirements. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, and the contract includes standard free trade agreement compliance requirements.
