Purchase Order SP330023P0951

The U.S. Defense Department's Distribution agency awarded an $61,898.04 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ponderosa Packaging Corp., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer of corrugated packaging solutions based in Melville, New York. The contract, awarded on August 3, 2023, with a completion date of November 1, 2023, calls for the delivery of box shipping containers sized 10x12x2 inches. This award is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities and reflecting the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in federal contracting. Performance of the work will take place in Huntington Station, New York.

This purchase order likely originated from one of Ponderosa Packaging's existing indefinite delivery vehicle contracts, specifically the $27.6 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, which enables the company to supply corrugated fiberboard shipping boxes and related packaging solutions to various federal agencies. Ponderosa Packaging has demonstrated substantial capacity in this space through its comprehensive federal contracting portfolio, including a $47 million single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the General Services Administration and a $5 million Federal Supply Schedule contract extending through June 2030, positioning the company as an established supplier of standardized and custom packaging products to the defense and civilian sectors.
