The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has awarded a $165,068 firm fixed-price purchase order to Weckworth Manufacturing, Inc. (doing business as Weckworth-Langdon) for the procurement of 400 units of dust and moisture boots (NSN 5340000552914). The contract, awarded on June 2, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 7, 2026, represents a continuation of DLA's sourcing strategy for specialized military protective equipment. This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside designation, allowing all qualified vendors to compete. The boots will be manufactured and delivered from Weckworth Manufacturing's facility in Haysville, Kansas.
Weckworth Manufacturing, a small business specializing in industrial textile goods for defense applications, brings substantial experience to this procurement. As a consistent DLA supplier since 2001, the company has demonstrated capability across multiple textile-based product lines and currently holds several significant indefinite delivery contracts with DLA components. The boots procured under this award support DLA's logistics and readiness requirements, with the 731-day delivery timeline from the original solicitation accommodating production and distribution to DLA Distribution San Joaquin. This award exemplifies DLA's reliance on established small business manufacturers to maintain the specialized equipment needed for military operations and personnel protection.
