The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $799,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to Faxon Engineering Co Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, for the procurement of nonmetallic hose assemblies. This total small business set-aside contract, which commenced on June 25, 2025, and is slated for completion by March 2, 2026, fulfills a DLA solicitation for 336 units of hose assemblies with National Stock Number 4720008264782 across three separate delivery line items. The procurement supports the agency's supply chain management and logistics programs, which maintain critical fluid power components necessary for military equipment maintenance and readiness across Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security operations.
Faxon Engineering, an authorized Eaton Aeroquip Hose Center specializing in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid power components, is well-positioned to execute this requirement given its extensive experience serving defense agencies and prior prime contract awards from DLA Land and Maritime for similar nonmetallic hose and fluid power products. The company has historically supplied critical components to military applications and holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, enabling it to maintain the supply chain continuity essential for this procurement. As a small business awardee, Faxon Engineering continues to support the government's strategic sourcing objectives while providing specialized defense logistics capabilities from its Connecticut manufacturing facility.
