Purchase Order SPE7M526V2163

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a $16,360 firm fixed-price purchase order to Microwave Engineering Corporation (MEC) on January 6, 2026, for the delivery of a waveguide assembly. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of June 23, 2026, represents a non-set-aside award to the North Andover, Massachusetts-based small business manufacturer. MEC specializes in advanced passive microwave components and radio frequency (RF) technologies critical to defense and space applications, and this delivery order likely derives from one of the company's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, which collectively enable the agency to procure custom-engineered microwave technologies on an as-needed basis.

Waveguide assemblies are essential passive RF components used in military communications systems, radar platforms, and weapons integration applications. MEC's expertise in designing and manufacturing sophisticated microwave assemblies positions it as a strategic supplier within the defense industrial base, serving as a subcontractor to major primes including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman. The company's established track record with DLA and military branches, combined with its SAM.gov registration since 2001, demonstrates its reliability in delivering specialized components that support critical defense infrastructure requirements across military aircraft, vessels, weapons systems, and communications networks.
