Purchase Order SPE7M326V1173

Auto-Valve, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Dayton, Ohio, was awarded a $8,774.00 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on January 15, 2026, for the procurement of a flush-mounted drain component. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of July 9, 2026, was awarded without set-aside designation and will be performed at the awardee's facility in Dayton, Ohio. Auto-Valve specializes in the design and manufacture of high-precision valves, fittings, and fluid control components for aerospace and defense applications, serving as a critical supplier of specialized valve products across military aircraft, maritime vessels, and ground vehicles.

This purchase order represents a routine procurement for standardized valve components from a pre-qualified defense contractor. Auto-Valve's extensive experience supplying drain valves and related fluid control systems to DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, combined with its established relationships with major defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, positions the company as a reliable source for the specialized components required to maintain military equipment operational readiness. The firm fixed-price structure and modest contract value are typical of DLA delivery orders issued against established indefinite delivery contracts for inventory replenishment of critical valve components.
