Purchase Order SPE7MC25V5812

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $116,550 firm fixed-price purchase order to Steward Machine Co Inc. (doing business as Earle Reducers) on September 16, 2025, for the fabrication and supply of a rotary valve plug. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of February 13, 2026, will be performed in Birmingham, Alabama. As an SBA-certified HUBZone small business, Steward Machine Co Inc. was selected without a set-aside designation for this specialized component delivery.

This purchase order represents a discrete component supply agreement aligned with the vendor's core manufacturing capabilities under its broader relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency. Steward Machine Co Inc. holds multiple significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with federal agencies, including a $160 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a $90 million IDV for metal fabrication and installation services through November 2027. The company's established track record of delivering specialized industrial components and mechanical assemblies to defense logistics operations positions it as a reliable supplier for critical defense procurement requirements.
