Purchase Order SPE7L323V1006

HC Merchandisers, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Ontario, California, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on November 8, 2022, for the supply of clamp loop components. The contract, valued at $5,270.94 with an ultimate completion date of March 20, 2023, represents a standard procurement for hardware components that support military and defense operations. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this particular award, despite the contractor's eligibility as a certified small disadvantaged business.

HC Merchandisers has established itself as a strategic supplier of specialized aerospace and maritime hardware components to the Department of Defense, with an extensive portfolio of prime contracts awarded primarily through DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime. The company specializes in manufacturing and supplying critical industrial hardware and fasteners essential to military platforms, and this clamp loop procurement is consistent with the contractor's core business of providing specialized mechanical components that meet the rigorous quality and delivery standards required by federal defense agencies.
