Purchase Order SPE4A625P0M54

Ruta Supplies Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Dover, New Jersey, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation division on September 8, 2025, for the supply of self-locking hexagonal nuts. The contract carries a ceiling value of $3,996.16 with an ultimate completion date of March 2, 2026. This award represents a continuation of Ruta Supplies' established relationship with DLA, which has been a primary source of federal contracting opportunities for the company since its registration in the System for Award Management in 2001. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Dover, New Jersey.

This purchase order supports DLA Aviation's mission to provide critical components and supplies to military aviation programs. Self-locking fasteners such as hexagonal nuts are essential hardware components used extensively throughout military aircraft systems and ground support equipment to ensure secure assembly and prevent fastener loosening due to vibration and operational stress. The relatively modest contract value reflects the specific quantity of fasteners required for this particular task order, consistent with Ruta Supplies' demonstrated capability to efficiently handle federal contracts across a wide range of values while maintaining the quality standards required by the Department of Defense.
