Purchase Order SPE3SE25V0888

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence awarded a $40,923.27 firm fixed-price purchase order to Cospolich Inc., a small business manufacturer of galley equipment and refrigeration products based in Destrehan, Louisiana, on August 4, 2025. The contract calls for the procurement of three mechanical refrigerators (NSN 4110014748992, model R41-2M-SN-MLR R404A) with delivery required within 20 days of order award. The equipment is designated for delivery to the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, supporting critical food service operations aboard the naval vessel. This contract does not utilize a small business set-aside designation despite being awarded to a qualified small business vendor and is open competition.

Cospolich Inc. holds an established relationship with DLA through multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts valued at $250,000 each, which enable rapid procurement of specialized galley equipment for military operations. The company's expertise in designing and manufacturing refrigeration infrastructure for military dining facilities and maritime applications, combined with its track record of successful DLA contract performance, positioned it favorably to meet the urgent operational requirements of this procurement. The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by January 2, 2026, and execution demonstrates DLA's reliance on specialized suppliers to maintain food service capabilities across the Navy's fleet.
