Purchase Order SPE7M026V1177

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a $2,024 firm fixed-price purchase order to Basic Rubber and Plastics CO. for the manufacture and delivery of a shielding gasket on December 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 1, 2026. This contract was not set aside for small business; however, Basic Rubber and Plastics CO., a for-profit manufacturer based in Walled Lake, Michigan, qualifies as a small business and regularly competes for both unrestricted and set-aside procurements through DLA. The company has established itself as a critical supplier of rubber and plastic components to the Department of Defense, with particular expertise in precision-engineered gaskets, seals, and nonmetallic components used across military land and maritime platforms.

This purchase order represents a single transaction within Basic Rubber and Plastics CO.'s broader supply relationship with DLA, which includes three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each covering various rubber, plastic, and metal components. The company's contract history demonstrates consistent performance in delivering specialized hardware and consumable materials essential for military vehicle, vessel, and equipment maintenance and operations. The shielding gasket procured under this award represents the type of precision component critical to maintaining operational readiness across the Department of Defense's land and maritime equipment inventories.
