Purchase Order SPE7M323P2747

Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Arlington, Texas, was awarded a $23,486.84 firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Department of Defense's Land and Maritime division on July 21, 2023, for the supply of tube couplings. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, reflects the vendor's established role as a specialized supplier of aviation hardware and fastening components to the Defense Logistics Agency. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Arlington, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of October 26, 2026. This award leverages Defense Support Services' socioeconomic certifications, including HUBZone and Small Disadvantaged Business status, positioning the company competitively within DLA's procurement strategy for critical supply chain items.

This purchase order exemplifies Defense Support Services' sustained success in supplying Federal Supply Class 46 products—pipe, tubing, hose, and fittings—to support military logistics and aviation maintenance operations. The company maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, including active vehicles for coupling clamps and related hardware extending through June 2030, which provide streamlined procurement mechanisms for recurring consumable items. The contract award reinforces the vendor's critical role in sustaining DLA's domestic and overseas military depot operations and underscores the department's reliance on qualified small business suppliers for essential aviation maintenance components.
