Purchase Order N0010425PFD41

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) awarded a $187,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to B&G Manufacturing Co Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, for the production of continuous thread studs. The contract, awarded on July 18, 2025, requires the manufacture of specialized K-MONEL fasteners meeting stringent military specifications (MIL-DTL-1222) for critical shipboard applications. The studs, specified as 1.5 inches by 10 inches long, are designated as Special Emphasis material (Level I), necessitating rigorous quality control, comprehensive material traceability, and extensive testing including chemical and mechanical analysis, liquid penetrant inspection, and ultrasonic testing. The procurement involves no small business set-aside designation, indicating the opportunity was open to all qualifying contractors. B&G Manufacturing's selection reflects its established expertise as a trusted federal supplier of precision fasteners and metal parts for defense and maritime applications.

With an ultimate completion date of July 13, 2027, the contract allows for a 365-day delivery timeline from award and permits a negative quantity variance of up to 10 percent. The demanding nature of this procurement underscores the critical applications involved; the studs will support shipboard systems where material defects could result in serious personnel injury, loss of life, or catastrophic system failure. B&G Manufacturing's established track record supplying major defense contractors including Electric Boat, Huntington Ingalls, Rolls-Royce, and BAE Systems, combined with its demonstrated capability to maintain ISO-9001 compliant quality management systems and perform at approved testing facilities, positioned the company to successfully execute this mission-critical naval manufacturing requirement.
