Purchase Order N6278622P0037

Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a small business set-aside purchase order valued at $28,268.35 to Saxton Industrial, Inc. for the supply of command crests supporting the DDG 51 Arleigh Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer program. The contract was awarded on May 26, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of July 25, 2022, under a firm fixed-price arrangement. Saxton Industrial, a Glendale, California-based manufacturer specializing in custom recognition awards and military insignia, delivered the command crests directly from its in-house production facilities without subcontractor involvement.

The DDG 51 program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by NAVSEA that encompasses construction, maintenance, modernization, and sustainment of the Navy's Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, with primary production occurring in Bath, Maine and Pascagoula, Mississippi. This purchase order represents a smaller supporting contract within the broader program, which has awarded major shipbuilding contracts valued in the billions of dollars to prime contractors such as Bath Iron Works Corporation and Huntington Ingalls Inc. Saxton Industrial's demonstrated experience supplying recognition items across multiple federal agencies and military branches, including medals for the Environmental Protection Agency and service awards for the Naval Safety Center, established its capability to fulfill this specialized requirement for the DDG 51 program.
