Purchase Order SPE7M824V2456

This federal contract award was made by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to Edwards International LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Chicago, Illinois. The contract is for the delivery of electromagnetic relays, with a ceiling value of $5,043.90 and a completion date of January 3, 2025.

Edwards International LLC has a strong track record of providing a wide range of automotive, mechanical, medical, and industrial supplies and equipment to the U.S. federal government, particularly to various components of the DLA, including DLA Land and Maritime. The company holds multiple active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the DLA, typically valued at $250,000 each with one-year base periods, which allow the DLA to place delivery orders on an as-needed basis for contracted items. Many of these IDCs are set aside for total small business participation, leveraging Edwards International LLC's small business status.

The current contract award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it is a full and open competition. However, the company's status as a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business likely contributed to its selection as the prime contractor for this procurement.
