The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $26,180 firm fixed-price purchase order to Jo-Kell Inc. for 44 units of thermal release heaters (National Stock Number 5999007133714) on December 10, 2025. Jo-Kell Inc., an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, will perform work at its Chesapeake facility with an ultimate completion date of March 5, 2027. This award results from a competitive Request for Quotation solicitation posted November 3, 2025, with an 11-day submission window, and carries no set-aside designation despite Jo-Kell's small business status. The procurement falls under the agency's electrical and electronic equipment components category and requires delivery within 164 days of order award to a Defense Logistics Agency distribution facility.

This award reflects Jo-Kell Inc.'s established position as a critical supplier of electrical components to the Department of Defense, with an extensive portfolio of indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime covering multiple electrical component categories. The company's thermal release heater indefinite delivery contract, valued at $250,000 with a July 10, 2026 completion date and designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, serves as the underlying vehicle supporting responsive procurement of this critical component. Jo-Kell's delivery of thermal release heaters supports the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to maintain responsive procurement capabilities for electrical components that enable military operational readiness and infrastructure maintenance across installations and naval operations.
