Purchase Order SPE7M426P0791

Ballco Manufacturing Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Aurora, Illinois, was awarded a $56,355 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on November 6, 2025, for the manufacture and delivery of ball and seat assemblies (NSN 4820010904237). The contract, with an ultimate completion date of May 5, 2026, was issued without a set-aside designation, allowing open competition among all qualified vendors. The procurement originated from a streamlined Request for Quote posted on October 20, 2025, soliciting 51 units of this valve component for delivery to the DLA Distribution Center in San Joaquin within 157 days of award. Ballco's experience in precision-engineered industrial ball valve components and related fluid power parts positions it well to fulfill this requirement, which falls under NAICS code 332919 for metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing.

This award reflects Ballco's established position as a critical supplier within the defense industrial base, with an aggregate federal contract portfolio exceeding $3 million across more than 150 individual purchase orders and delivery orders since 2021. The company operates under six active indefinite delivery contracts with the DLA, each with a $250,000 ceiling, and maintains ISO 9001 compliance and adherence to military standards such as MIL-I-45208A to ensure the quality and traceability required for mission-critical shipboard and land-based military applications. The award demonstrates continued reliance on Ballco as a prime contractor for the specialized ball valve assemblies and components essential to Department of Defense logistics operations and military readiness.
