Purchase Order SPE7L126P3013

Underground Pipeline Inc., operating as UPI Manufacturing, a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Eagle, Wisconsin, was awarded a $2,760 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for supplemental armor components. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of April 28, 2026, represents a task order draw against one of the company's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts focused on supplemental armor products valued at $250,000. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this specific award, though the underlying IDV from which it derives is designated as a small business set-aside. UPI Manufacturing specializes in defense manufacturing with a core focus on producing high-quality metal fabrication, machining, welding, and military vehicle components for armored vehicles and land and maritime systems.

The award supports the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to sustain and replenish inventory for U.S. armed forces' vehicle systems. UPI Manufacturing has established itself as a critical supplier within the defense industrial base, holding multiple IDVs across complementary product categories including transparent vehicular armor, windows, vehicular doors, and mounting brackets. The company's contract history demonstrates its capability to serve as both a prime contractor on small purchase orders and as a valued subcontractor to major defense firms such as Oshkosh Defense, General Dynamics, and BAE Systems. This supplemental armor order exemplifies the company's ongoing role in providing essential components for military vehicle sustainment operations.
