Ballco Manufacturing Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Aurora, Illinois, was awarded a $26.5K firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) on May 16, 2024, for the design and delivery of ball valve parts kits. This total small business set-aside contract requires delivery of components consisting of one ball and two matching seats that meet stringent military specifications for shipboard systems. The award reflects NAVSUP's continued reliance on Ballco as a critical supplier within the defense industrial base, with an ultimate completion date of December 5, 2025, providing approximately 450 days for manufacturing and delivery. Performance will occur at Ballco's Aurora, Illinois facility, where government quality assurance personnel will conduct inspections.

The solicitation emphasized rigorous traceability and certification requirements, mandating that all materials maintain documented certifications from initial sourcing through final assembly, with documentation submitted for acceptance via WAWF prior to each shipment. These requirements ensure only conforming materials are incorporated into critical naval applications. Ballco's award under this total small business set-aside designation continues its established pattern of securing defense contracts, particularly with NAVSUP and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), leveraging its specialized expertise in precision-engineered ball valve components. The company currently maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250K each across various military logistics divisions, positioning it as a reliable supplier for maintenance and readiness programs across naval and military platforms.
