Purchase Order SPE7M326V1165

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Foster Manufacturing Co, Inc. for the supply of a coupling half quick disconnect component, with a ceiling value of $1,082.50 and an ultimate completion date of March 5, 2026. Foster Manufacturing, a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, received this award without a set-aside designation, allowing the company to compete in open competition. The component being procured represents the type of standardized mechanical part critical to military equipment maintenance and repair operations that forms the core of Foster Manufacturing's federal contracting business with DLA.

This award reflects the continuation of an established supplier relationship between Foster Manufacturing and DLA Land and Maritime, an agency responsible for maintaining critical inventory levels of spare parts necessary for sustained military operations. Foster Manufacturing currently holds ten active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, each with a $250,000 ceiling value and structured as total small business set-asides, collectively representing up to $2.5 million in potential procurement value. All contract performance occurs at Foster Manufacturing's Springfield, Missouri facility, with deliveries made to DLA depots throughout the continental United States and overseas locations. The company has maintained federal contractor status since 2001 and has consistently demonstrated reliable performance in supplying coupling systems and related hydraulic and pneumatic connection devices essential to the Department of Defense's logistics mission.
