The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $6,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Steelmasters Of Columbus Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Columbus, Ohio, for the production of a junction box. The contract was executed on July 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation despite the contractor's eligibility as a small business. This award reflects the agency's continued reliance on Steelmasters for specialized defense manufacturing components.

Steelmasters Of Columbus Inc. has established itself as a reliable supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency across multiple branches, including DLA Aviation, DLA Land and Maritime, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment. The company maintains four Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, three of which are designated for total small business participation, with ceiling values of $250,000 each covering product categories such as rails, ejection chutes, and heater duct shields. This purchase order for the junction box aligns with Steelmasters' demonstrated expertise in manufacturing precision components and mechanical assemblies for military and defense applications, positioning the contractor as a preferred source for specialized logistics and supply chain items supporting defense operations.
