The Naval Supply Systems Command has awarded a $82.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to B&G Manufacturing Co Inc., a small business manufacturer located in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, for the production of continuous thread studs meeting military specifications. This one-year contract, awarded August 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2026, represents the culmination of a competitive solicitation posted March 11, 2025.
