Purchase Order SPE7M425V3440

W S Darley & Co, a small business manufacturer of firefighting and emergency response equipment based in Itasca, Illinois, was awarded a $13,170.96 firm fixed-price purchase order on May 8, 2025, for a boat cover under a total small business set-aside designation. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of September 5, 2025, was funded by the Defense Department's Land and Maritime division. As a specialized equipment supplier with an extensive federal contracting history, W S Darley & Co brings significant relevant experience to this award, having previously secured contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, and other defense entities.

This purchase order represents a task order or direct award likely stemming from one of the contractor's existing indefinite delivery vehicles, most notably the $500 million Special Operations Equipment–Tailored Logistics Support Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Defense Logistics Agency. The company's demonstrated capability in providing mission-critical equipment across tactical, defense, and emergency response sectors positions it well to fulfill the specific marine equipment requirements outlined in this procurement. The modest contract value and compressed timeline indicate a straightforward procurement for a discrete piece of equipment needed to support Defense Department maritime operations or vessels.
