Purchase Order SPE7M526V0328

The U.S. Department of Defense's Land and Maritime division awarded a $22,223.70 firm fixed-price purchase order to Detroit Switch Inc. on October 14, 2025, for the procurement of thermostatic switches. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of April 13, 2026, represents a direct purchase order rather than an indefinite delivery contract arrangement. Detroit Switch Inc., a Pittsburgh-based manufacturer of industrial control components and Subchapter S Corporation, was selected as the prime contractor without a small business set-aside designation. The company's specialized expertise in producing thermostatic, pressure, and temperature switches for defense applications made it a suitable vendor for this requirement.

This award continues Detroit Switch Inc.'s established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, the primary federal customer driving the company's business. The vendor's track record includes multiple indefinite delivery contracts with ceiling values reaching $250,000, through which the DLA has consistently procured specialized switches to support military inventory and maintenance programs across domestic and overseas depots. The current purchase order reflects the agency's ongoing demand for critical electronic switch components used throughout various military platforms, including vehicles, vessels, and aircraft systems. The contract's completion timeline and firm pricing structure provide the DLA with reliable access to these essential control components for defense operations.
