Purchase Order SPE7M526V1797

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $10,046.95 firm fixed-price purchase order to Astrocom Electronics Inc., a small business manufacturer of military-grade communication components headquartered in Oneonta, New York. The contract, issued on December 12, 2025, covers the procurement of electrical headsets with an ultimate completion date of July 10, 2026. This award was not designated as a set-aside contract and represents a continuation of DLA's longstanding relationship with Astrocom, which has established itself as a reliable supplier of specialized electronic accessories essential to military operations across aviation, maritime, and ground equipment domains.

Astrocom Electronics will perform all manufacturing activities at its Oneonta facility, ensuring domestic production of these critical defense components. The company's extensive track record with DLA includes multiple indefinite delivery contracts, including a significantly larger $1,897,527.60 multiple-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime extending through March 2028. This purchase order aligns with the broader Defense Logistics Agency mission to maintain assured access to qualified suppliers of military communication and hearing protection devices while supporting U.S. Armed Forces operational requirements. Astrocom's recent receipt of a $270,900 Rural Energy for America Program grant further demonstrates federal recognition of the company's importance to defense supply chain sustainability and domestic manufacturing capacity expansion.
