Purchase Order SPE7L126V0104

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $1,413 firm fixed-price purchase order to Larkos Packing and Distribution Inc. for the procurement of gaskets on October 2, 2025. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation despite the vendor's small business certifications, is scheduled for completion by March 6, 2026, and will be performed in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Larkos is an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certified supplier that specializes in providing military spare parts and distribution services to federal defense agencies.

This purchase order represents a discrete transaction within Larkos' broader relationship with DLA, which includes three Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each covering military spare parts across multiple categories, including gaskets and mechanical power transmission equipment components. The award underscores DLA's reliance on certified small business vendors to support the Department of Defense's complex logistics and supply chain requirements across its Land and Maritime, Aviation, and Construction and Equipment divisions. The modest contract value reflects the nature of gasket procurement as a component of routine military spare parts ordering, where DLA leverages both direct purchase orders and larger IDCs to maintain inventory and operational readiness.
