Purchase Order SPE1C125P1113

Dow Cover Co, Incorporated (doing business as Dcci), a small business textile manufacturer based in East Haven, Connecticut, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $50,568 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division on August 5, 2025. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the procurement of signal pennants (NSN 8345009350519) with an ultimate completion date of January 2, 2026. This award originated from a Request for Quotation solicitation posted in February 2025 seeking 1,200 units of signal pennants for delivery to Arizona Industries for the Blind, with an 83-day delivery requirement following order placement.

Dcci, registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and structured as a Subchapter S Corporation, has established itself as a reliable supplier to the DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, with a demonstrated track record of delivering specialized textile products supporting military operations and personnel equipment needs. The company currently holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA totaling approximately $1.16 million through 2029, covering items ranging from absorbent flying helmet liners to signal pennants, flags, and maritime covers. This award aligns with Dcci's core competencies in manufacturing protective and operational textile equipment for federal defense agencies and reinforces its role as a key small business supplier within the military procurement ecosystem.
