Purchase Order SPE4A626P5251

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $10,303.60 firm fixed-price purchase order to RPS Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Clearwater, Florida, for the procurement of bearing sleeves (National Stock Number 8511744493). The contract was awarded on November 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 8, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation despite the contractor's qualification as a small business. RPS Inc. will perform all manufacturing and delivery operations at its Clearwater facility, maintaining its established role as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractor involvement.

RPS Inc. brings over two decades of federal contracting experience to this engagement, having maintained active registration in the System for Award Management since 2002 and cultivated an extensive portfolio of Defense Logistics Agency contracts focused on precision mechanical components critical to military equipment maintenance and sustainment. The company's prior awards have ranged significantly in value, including recent major contracts such as a $119,674.80 small business set-aside purchase order for actuating cylinders in March 2025 and a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract with DLA's Land and Maritime division established in June 2025. This bearing sleeve procurement aligns with RPS Inc.'s core manufacturing capabilities and reinforces its position as a reliable supplier of mission-critical mechanical parts supporting Defense Department operational readiness across aviation, land, and maritime systems.
