The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $121.3K firm fixed-price purchase order to U.S.A. Spares Inc., a small business manufacturer of mechanical and hydraulic components based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, for the procurement of piston snubbers (National Stock Number 1710015045611). The award, issued on December 6, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of August 15, 2025, was designated as a total small business set-aside following a competitive solicitation posted in November 2023. The contract calls for delivery of piston snubbers to the DLA Distribution Center in San Diego, California, with delivery windows ranging from 150 to 450 days after order receipt, consistent with DLA's supply chain requirements for critical spare parts supporting military equipment maintenance and operational readiness.
U.S.A. Spares Inc. is a well-established supplier to the Department of Defense with extensive experience delivering specialized mechanical and hydraulic components through both set-aside and competitive contracting vehicles. The company currently maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts and participates in an $8M multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command, underscoring its capacity to fulfill demanding military specifications and delivery schedules. This piston snubber award represents a continuation of the company's role in supporting DLA's logistics operations and reflects its consistent qualification for small business set-aside procurements, with approximately 60 percent of its recent federal contract awards designated as total small business set-asides.
