Purchase Order SPE7L026P0119

The Department of Defense's Land and Maritime division awarded a $12,810 firm fixed-price purchase order to Steward Machine Co Inc. (doing business as Earle Reducers) on November 3, 2025, for the fabrication of a turbine block component. The work will be performed in Birmingham, Alabama, with an ultimate completion date of May 22, 2026. This contract was not issued under a small business set-aside, though the vendor maintains SBA certification as a HUBZone firm. Steward Machine Co Inc. is a long-established small business manufacturer specializing in precision metal fabrication and industrial machinery components, with SAM.gov registration dating to December 2001.

This purchase order represents a continuation of the vendor's ongoing relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which has been a primary customer for specialized mechanical components and turbine parts. Earle Reducers holds substantial indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with federal agencies, including a $160 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract and additional IDVs totaling over $240 million with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other defense entities. The current award aligns with the vendor's core competency in fabricating complex metal components and mechanical assemblies for defense and infrastructure operations.
