South Central Manufacturing Corp, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business manufacturer based in Summersville, Missouri, was awarded a $315,545 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division on March 12, 2025. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the manufacture and delivery of breech bolts, with the solicitation requesting 236 units for delivery within 287 days and 1 unit for delivery within 90 days. This award represents a discrete procurement requirement for precision-engineered ordnance components that support U.S. military defense logistics operations, consistent with the contractor's historical specialization in manufacturing small arms and ordnance accessories.
The contract extends through October 13, 2026, and reflects South Central Manufacturing Corp's demonstrated capability in producing specialized military components. The company maintains an active federal contracting relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency spanning since 2006 and holds an existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicle valued at $250,000 with the Land and Maritime division, which serves as a framework for issuing task orders and purchase orders for precision-manufactured defense components through August 2030. This purchase order award exemplifies the government's continued reliance on the contractor's manufacturing expertise for critical ordnance accessories within the small business set-aside program.
