The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division, awarded a purchase order valued at $1,255.60 to Basic Rubber and Plastics Co. for the supply of gaskets. The contract, issued on September 10, 2025, carries a firm fixed price structure with no small business set-aside designation. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Walled Lake, Michigan, with an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2026. Basic Rubber and Plastics Co., a for-profit manufacturer of rubber and plastic components registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2001, specializes in producing critical nonmetallic components for military and defense applications.

The award represents a routine purchase order placement under the contractor's broader relationship with DLA, which has established multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the company for standard military hardware and consumable materials. Gaskets and similar nonmetallic sealing components supplied by Basic Rubber and Plastics Co. support various military operational domains, including land and maritime vehicle maintenance and equipment operations. This procurement aligns with DLA's streamlined acquisition approach for ensuring consistent supply of essential military-grade components to support Department of Defense readiness and sustainment requirements.
