Purchase Order SPE7M226V0439

Auto-Valve, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $28,535 by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division on October 30, 2025. The contract calls for the delivery of cock poppet drain components, specialized valve products critical to military applications across aircraft, maritime vessels, and ground vehicles. Performance will take place in Dayton, Ohio, with an ultimate completion date of April 23, 2026. This award was not designated as a set-aside contract and represents Auto-Valve's continued role as a key supplier of fluid control components to the Department of Defense.

This purchase order exemplifies the Defense Logistics Agency's efficient procurement strategy for standardized, high-precision valve components from pre-qualified manufacturers. Auto-Valve's established track record as a reliable supplier of NSN-designated valve products to major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, combined with its existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, demonstrates the company's critical role in maintaining the operational readiness of military equipment fleets. The firm fixed-price structure ensures cost predictability while the relatively modest ceiling value reflects the standardized nature of this specific drain valve procurement.
