Purchase Order SPE7L124P0028

E.a. Patten Co LLC, a Manchester, Connecticut-based manufacturer of industrial metal components and a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., was awarded a $157,758 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime branch on October 6, 2023. The contract, designated as a first article test, calls for the production and delivery of specialized metal tube assemblies and related components with a completion deadline of July 20, 2026. The originating solicitation, posted in March 2023, was set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, though E.a. Patten Co LLC received the award under standard procurement procedures. The contract represents a continuation of the contractor's long-standing partnership with the Defense Logistics Agency, leveraging its core expertise in manufacturing precision metal components critical to military logistics and maintenance operations.

This purchase order aligns with E.a. Patten Co LLC's established role as a key supplier for the Department of Defense, supporting the maintenance and repair needs of military aircraft, vehicles, and ground equipment. The company's federal contract portfolio demonstrates consistent specialization in firm fixed-price delivery of standardized metal tubing and assemblies, with previous indefinite delivery contracts from DLA Aviation valued at approximately $250,000 each. The contractor's Manchester, Connecticut facility serves as the place of performance, ensuring domestic production of these mission-critical components for defense applications.
