Purchase Order SPE4A726V1507

RPS Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Clearwater, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order on December 16, 2025, for straight-headed pins with a ceiling value of $2,076.00 and an ultimate completion date of June 5, 2026. This contract award represents a continuation of RPS Inc.'s established role as a precision mechanical components supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense, particularly through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The award utilized no set-aside designation and is funded by the Defense or Civilian Aviation division. RPS Inc. will perform all work at its Clearwater, Florida manufacturing facility, consistent with its historical practice of maintaining direct prime contractor status without subcontractor involvement.

This purchase order aligns with RPS Inc.'s extensive contracting history with the Defense Logistics Agency, where the company has supplied critical mechanical components including bearings, shafts, valves, cylinders, and various industrial hardware for over two decades. The company currently maintains an active Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA's Land and Maritime division valued at $250,000, which has enabled the establishment of reliable long-term supply relationships for defense logistics operations. The relatively modest contract value of approximately $2,000 reflects DLA's practice of issuing task orders on an as-needed basis to ensure the continued availability of mission-critical mechanical components supporting military operational readiness and equipment sustainment across the Defense Department.
