Purchase Order SPE7M026P1297

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $54,966.94 firm fixed price purchase order to Carolina Power Systems of Sumter Inc., a veteran-owned and minority-owned small business, on January 15, 2026. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, calls for the manufacture and delivery of a motor starter with a completion deadline of December 31, 2026. Carolina Power Systems, headquartered in Sumter, South Carolina, will perform the work at its primary facility in that location.

Carolina Power Systems is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement, leveraging its extensive experience as a specialized manufacturer of power distribution equipment and electronic components for naval shipbuilding and modernization initiatives. The company maintains active indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $4.9 million and $2.7 million for commercial power systems equipment and engineering services supporting Navy surface vessels and submarines. As both a prime contractor and subcontractor on defense projects—including work on Littoral Combat Ships, Guided Missile Destroyers, and amphibious vessels—the company has demonstrated technical expertise in electrical and electronic component manufacturing critical to fleet readiness operations.
