Purchase Order SPE7L526P0522

Steward Machine Co Inc., operating under the trade name Earle Reducers, was awarded a $39,130 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime on December 1, 2025, for the manufacture of a turbine shaft assembly. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by June 19, 2026, with manufacturing and performance to be conducted at the contractor's facility in Birmingham, Alabama. As a SBA-certified HUBZone small business, Steward Machine Co Inc. brings substantial expertise in precision metal fabrication and mechanical component manufacturing to this engagement.

This award represents a routine component procurement within the broader context of the Defense Logistics Agency's extensive supplier network, which relies on specialized manufacturers like Earle Reducers for critical turbine and machinery parts. The contractor's established track record includes delivery of complex metal components and turbine-related assemblies to multiple defense agencies, supported by significant indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers valued at over $300 million. The relatively modest purchase order value reflects a discrete, near-term requirement within the agency's broader equipment and maintenance operations, leveraging the contractor's demonstrated capabilities in metal fabrication and assembly services.
