Purchase Order SPE7M226P0905

Jo-Kell Inc., an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, was awarded a $36,295 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime on December 8, 2025, for the procurement of thermal release heaters. The contract is set to be completed by January 12, 2027, with performance taking place in Chesapeake, Virginia. This award represents a delivery order against Jo-Kell Inc.'s existing Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for thermal release heaters with a $250,000 ceiling value and a Total Small Business set-aside designation established with DLA Land and Maritime. The company has demonstrated substantial experience supplying critical electrical components to the Department of Defense across multiple agencies, including the Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the U.S. Coast Guard, leveraging established subcontracting relationships with major defense primes such as Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc.

This purchase order supports DLA Land and Maritime's mission to maintain responsive procurement capabilities for electrical components essential to military operational readiness and infrastructure maintenance across installations and naval operations. The firm fixed-price structure and relatively short delivery timeline reflect the standard procurement model under Jo-Kell Inc.'s broader IDC portfolio, which typically involves delivery within 93 to 270 days of order placement. The award underscores the contractor's role as a reliable supplier of specialized electrical equipment that sustains critical defense infrastructure requirements throughout the continental United States and overseas locations.
