Purchase Order SPE7M126V0907

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $97,056 to Dante Valve Company for the procurement of safety relief valves (National Stock Number 4820012728733). The award, announced on October 17, 2025, originated from a competitive Request for Quotation solicitation posted in October 2024 seeking six units with delivery to DLA Distribution Puget Sound. The contract carries an ultimate completion date of May 15, 2026, and includes no small business set-aside designation, having been open to all qualified contractors. Dante Valve Company, a family-owned small business manufacturer based in Bellflower, California, specializes in precision industrial and military pressure relief valves and related components serving the defense industrial base.

This award represents a direct purchase order under DLA Land and Maritime's established relationships with Dante Valve Company, which also currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the agency—one for disk valves valued at $250,000 and another for helical compression springs also valued at $250,000. The contractor maintains an extensive federal portfolio spanning multiple defense agencies including Naval Sea Systems Command and the Coast Guard, while simultaneously performing significant subcontracting work for major defense shipbuilders such as Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and Bath Iron Works Corporation on naval vessel construction and maintenance programs. The firm fixed-price structure and completion timeline extending into mid-2026 align with DLA's standard procurement approach for specialized valve components critical to defense logistics and materiel readiness operations.
