The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) awarded a $45,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Painter Tool Incorporated, a small business precision machining manufacturer based in Irwin, Pennsylvania, for the procurement of metal bars. This award, issued on January 30, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of February 1, 2027, falls under a total small business set-aside designation and is expected to support Navy fleet maintenance and shipbuilding operations through the supply of rolled steel shapes. The contract was issued under NAICS code 331221 (Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing) and PSC code 9510 (Bars and Rods), with all manufacturing and performance conducted at the contractor's Irwin facility.

This purchase order is issued under Painter Tool Incorporated's existing $8 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSUP, which extends through January 17, 2030, and has generated over 150 individual task orders since establishment. The broader BPA authorizes procurement of diverse industrial hardware components including valve parts, fasteners, fittings, and machined metal components critical to naval operations. As a qualified small business supplier with extensive experience meeting stringent military specifications and compliance requirements, Painter Tool has established itself as a key supplier within the defense industrial base, with documented federal contract awards exceeding $10 million across approximately 150 prime contracts. The metal bars procured under this award will support Navy supply chain operations and fleet readiness initiatives consistent with NAVSUP's procurement strategy of maintaining multiple qualified suppliers for essential industrial hardware categories.
