Purchase Order SPE1C126P0123

Urschel Tool Co, a small business manufacturer based in Providence, Rhode Island, was awarded a $146,240 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division on October 24, 2025. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, calls for the delivery of 80,000 units of military branch insignia to Arizona Industries for the Blind within 163 days of order. The insignia procurement supports the Department of Defense's ongoing requirement for precision-manufactured uniform components and accessories essential to military personnel identification and dress standards.

This award builds on Urschel Tool Co's established track record as a key supplier within the federal military uniform component ecosystem. The company operates under a foundational Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $3.419 million with DLA Troop Support that extends through November 2027, from which this purchase order was issued. Urschel Tool Co's specialization in military insignia manufacturing—including enlisted grade, officer grade, and branch of service insignia—positions it as a critical vendor for the Defense Logistics Agency. The delivery to Arizona Industries for the Blind demonstrates the company's alignment with federal socioeconomic contracting objectives that support employment initiatives for individuals with visual impairments, reinforcing the role of small businesses in both military supply chains and broader federal policy goals.
