Purchase Order SPE7M426P1196

Herbert Cooper Co Inc., a Pennsylvania-based small business manufacturer specializing in air transportation components and industrial gas equipment, received a $21,564.76 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime on December 4, 2025. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, involves a first article test requirement and carries a completion date of January 8, 2027. The work will be performed in Genesee Township, PA, where Herbert Cooper has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2001 and maintains its primary manufacturing operations.

This award reflects the contractor's established track record as a critical supplier to the Department of Defense, particularly the DLA, for specialized air hose assemblies, air breathing equipment, and related air duct components. Herbert Cooper's existing seven indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with various DLA agencies demonstrate its capability to consistently meet defense logistics requirements across multiple national stock number items. The first article test requirement on this purchase order ensures that the contractor's manufacturing processes and product specifications meet DLA standards before full-scale production and delivery commence, supporting the military's continued access to essential air transportation components for logistics operations.
