Purchase Order SPE7M225P3775

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $1,840 firm fixed-price purchase order to L Barge And Associates Inc., doing business as Midwest Diversified Products, on August 6, 2025, for the procurement of metallic tubes. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of September 22, 2025, will be performed at the vendor's facility in Ferndale, Michigan. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation. L Barge And Associates Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged, veteran-owned business that specializes in manufacturing and supplying spare parts and components for military ground and aviation platforms, with an established track record of supporting DLA procurement across multiple divisions.

This purchase order represents a routine component acquisition within DLA Land and Maritime's broader military logistics support mission. The vendor's capability to deliver metallic tubes aligns with its established expertise in supplying specialized mechanical components and installation kits for defense equipment. L Barge And Associates Inc. maintains two significant federal contract vehicles with DLA and the General Services Administration, including a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime, which demonstrates the company's sustained capacity to fulfill defense logistics requirements efficiently. The relatively modest contract value reflects a targeted procurement likely supporting maintenance, repair, or equipment modification activities across the defense supply chain.
