Purchase Order SPE4A726V0131

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $1,875 firm fixed-price purchase order to Salem Manufacturing & Sales Inc. for the procurement of machine threaded bushings. The award, issued on October 9, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2026, carries no small business set-aside designation. Salem Manufacturing & Sales Inc., a certified small business manufacturer headquartered in Whitehall, Ohio, and doing business as Salem Industries, serves as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors. The company specializes in producing military-grade industrial components and fasteners that support maintenance and logistics operations across the Department of Defense.

This purchase order represents a typical transactional procurement within Salem Industries' broader portfolio of federal contract work. The company has maintained active federal contracting status since June 2001 and has established a substantial relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, the primary source of its federal business. Beyond this individual purchase order, Salem Industries currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA totaling $750,000 in aggregate ceiling value, providing flexible procurement vehicles for ring assemblies, helical compression springs, and protective dust caps across the Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions through 2030. This ongoing contract relationship demonstrates the company's consistent capability in delivering specialized precision-engineered components essential to military asset readiness.
