Auto-Valve, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, was awarded a $84,196 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on December 9, 2025, for the manufacture and supply of cock poppet drain valves. The contract carries a total small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by June 2, 2026, with performance taking place at Auto-Valve's facility in Dayton, Ohio. As a critical supplier of high-precision valve components to the Department of Defense, Auto-Valve specializes in fluid control products for military applications, including aircraft, maritime vessels, and ground vehicles.

This purchase order represents part of Auto-Valve's ongoing relationship with the DLA, which has awarded the company multiple indefinite delivery contracts with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to nearly $2 million. The company's contract portfolio demonstrates consistent supply of standardized valve products across military aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle platforms, with prior relationships as a subcontractor to major defense prime contractors including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Bell Textron, and Northrop Grumman. The total small business set-aside designation on this award reflects the government's commitment to supporting veteran-owned small businesses in the defense industrial base while securing critical components for military equipment readiness.
