Purchase Order SPE4A725V5163

Salem Manufacturing & Sales Inc., doing business as Salem Industries, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $2,947.50 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation division on September 19, 2025. The contract, which has an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2026, is for the manufacture and delivery of a special-shaped spacer component. The award was not designated as a set-aside contract. Salem Industries, a long-established industrial manufacturer based in Whitehall, Ohio, with SAM registration dating to June 2001, specializes in producing critical defense-oriented industrial components including fasteners, flanges, and specialized parts that support military logistics and maintenance operations.

This purchase order represents a typical procurement transaction within the DLA's supply chain management operations, leveraging Salem Industries' established capabilities in manufacturing specialized industrial components for the Department of Defense. The company maintains active indefinite delivery contracts with the DLA across multiple divisions, including the Aviation division, which demonstrates its track record of reliable performance in fulfilling federal defense procurement requirements. The relatively modest contract value is consistent with DLA's procurement model for individual component orders drawn against larger supply agreements or cataloged purchasing mechanisms.
