Purchase Order SPE7M025V8097

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $5,700 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ballco Manufacturing Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Aurora, Illinois, for a ball valve parts kit. The contract, issued on July 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2026, was funded through the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award. Ballco Manufacturing specializes in the design and production of precision-engineered industrial ball valves and valve components that support military maintenance and readiness operations across various defense platforms, including shipboard systems and land-based equipment.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Ballco Manufacturing's established role as a critical supplier within the defense industrial base. The company maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA's Land and Maritime, Troop Support, and Hardware divisions, with individual potential values of $250,000 each, enabling the military to procure specialized valve components and related hardware on an as-needed basis. The firm fixed-price structure and compressed delivery timeline reflect standard military procurement practices for component replenishment and inventory support.
