Purchase Order SPE7L326P1472

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division, awarded a $6,089.92 firm fixed-price purchase order to Basic Rubber and Plastics Co. on December 18, 2025. This government first article test contract, with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2027, does not carry a small business set-aside designation. Basic Rubber and Plastics Co., a manufacturer of rubber and plastic components located in Walled Lake, Michigan, will perform the work at its facility. The company specializes in producing critical nonmetallic components such as gaskets, seals, brackets, and cushioning pads for military and defense applications across land, maritime, and aviation domains.

This purchase order represents a continuation of the contractor's established relationship with DLA, which has previously awarded the company three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each. The first article test procurement allows the government to evaluate and validate the contractor's products and manufacturing processes before potential larger-scale orders. Basic Rubber and Plastics Co. has demonstrated consistent capability as a prime contractor to the Defense Department since its SAM.gov registration in 2001, making it a reliable supplier of the specialized hardware and consumable materials necessary for military vehicle, vessel, and equipment maintenance and operations.
