Purchase Order SPE4A622V405C

The U.S. Department of Defense, through its Aviation division, awarded a $7,250 firm fixed-price purchase order to Cable Moore, Inc. for the manufacture and supply of a shackle on June 14, 2022. Cable Moore, Inc., a woman-owned small business and SBA HUBZone-certified firm headquartered in Oakland, California, specializes in producing lifting and cargo handling equipment for military logistics and defense supply chains. The contract was completed by September 6, 2022, with performance taking place at the vendor's Oakland facility. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular award, despite the contractor's eligibility for small business and HUBZone preferences.

This purchase order represents a typical component of Cable Moore's ongoing business relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the government's largest logistics organization. The contractor maintains multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA divisions covering wire rope assemblies, chain assemblies, shackles, slings, and other specialized rigging equipment essential to military operations and aviation supply chain management. The shackle procured under this award is part of the critical hardware inventory that supports military readiness across various defense logistics requirements and operational programs.
