The Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $22.78K firm fixed-price purchase order to Austin Hardware & Supply Inc., a small business distributor based in Reading, Pennsylvania, for slide drawer extensions. The contract, awarded on November 4, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 21, 2026, represents a child purchase order under one of the contractor's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts. This award carries no small business set-aside designation, though Austin Hardware & Supply Inc. maintains multiple small business set-aside IDCs with DLA valued at $250K each. The company has served as a reliable supplier to the Department of Defense since 2007, specializing in mechanical and structural hardware components critical to military operations and equipment maintenance across aviation, land, and maritime platforms.

Austin Hardware & Supply Inc. will perform the contract directly from its Reading, Pennsylvania facility without identified major subcontractors, maintaining the company's typical operational model of direct supply and delivery control. The slide drawer extension components being procured fall within the contractor's established product portfolio and support DLA's broader mission of sustaining military logistics requirements across the Department of Defense. Over its federal contracting history, the company has successfully executed approximately 200+ purchase orders and delivery orders with DLA, demonstrating consistent capability in sourcing and delivering diverse hardware items ranging from fastening components to structural supports essential to ongoing military operations.
