Purchase Order SPE7L426P0363

FN Herstal (Fabrique Nationale Nouvelle Herstal), a Belgian manufacturer of small arms and defense components, has been awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $4,298.50 for a chute section for ammunition. The contract was awarded on November 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 15, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation. The Defense Department's Land and Maritime agency is funding this procurement, with performance taking place in Belgium. This award reflects FN Herstal's established role as a critical supplier of specialized military hardware and components to U.S. defense organizations.

This contract represents a relatively modest individual purchase order within FN Herstal's broader contracting relationship with the Department of Defense. The company maintains significant strategic importance to military logistics through multiple indefinite delivery contracts, most notably a $21.5 million single-award IDC with Naval Air Systems Command for the GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun system running through December 31, 2029. FN Herstal's consistent provision of precision-engineered defense components—including chute sections, mechanical stops, pins, and various machine gun assemblies—demonstrates the company's competitive manufacturing capabilities and critical role in supporting U.S. military readiness and equipment maintenance requirements.
