Purchase Order SPE4A026P0654

Ballco Manufacturing Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, was awarded a $2,700 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Defense's Aviation division on January 14, 2026, for the manufacture of bushings and sleeves. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of July 13, 2026, will be performed at Ballco's Aurora, Illinois facility. This award is issued without set-aside designation and represents a continuation of Ballco's established role as a critical supplier of precision-engineered industrial components and valve-related parts to the defense industrial base.

Ballco Manufacturing has built an extensive portfolio exceeding $3 million in aggregate federal contract value since 2021, with more than 150 individual purchase orders and delivery orders primarily from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division and Naval Supply Systems Command. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor and currently maintains six active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA across multiple divisions, each with a $250,000 ceiling value. Ballco's components support military readiness operations across various platforms, including shipboard systems and land-based equipment, with many awards requiring compliance with military standards such as MIL-I-45208A and ISO-9001 certification due to the mission-critical nature of the supplies delivered.
