Western Technology Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Bremerton, Washington, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $19,710.82 to repair 34 hand-held LED sandblast lamps at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The contract, which was not set aside for small businesses despite the awardee's small business status, covers the inspection, repair, and restoration of 3 model 3460 and 31 model 3475 sandblast lamps to full operational status. The work must be completed by June 19, 2026, with performance conducted at the contractor's facility in Bremerton, Washington.
