Purchase Order SPE7M126V3471

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded ECI Defense Group, Inc., a small business based in Lyles, Tennessee, a $26,548.60 firm fixed-price purchase order for a flexible shaft assembly on December 9, 2025. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation despite the vendor's small business status, is funded by the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime component and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Lyles, Tennessee. Work is scheduled for completion by November 12, 2026. Flexible shaft assemblies are critical mechanical components used across military platforms, including vehicles and vessels, to transmit rotational motion in constrained spaces where rigid shafts are impractical.

ECI Defense Group has established itself as a reliable supplier within the defense industrial base, with an extensive portfolio of prime federal contracts from the Defense Logistics Agency and Naval Supply Systems Command totaling millions of dollars. The company specializes in procuring and supplying electrical, mechanical, and electronic components for military maintenance and logistics operations, and currently holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, including a substantial $2.0 million aviation component contract awarded in August 2025. This purchase order for the flexible shaft assembly reflects the Defense Logistics Agency's continued confidence in the contractor's capability to deliver specialized components that support military equipment readiness across the defense enterprise.
