Purchase Order SPE7MC26P0359

Ballco Manufacturing Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Aurora, Illinois, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $11,550 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on October 21, 2025. The contract covers the procurement of a parts kit for ball valves, with performance to be completed by April 20, 2026, at the contractor's Aurora facility. This award represents a continuation of Ballco's extensive relationship with DLA, reflecting the company's established role as a critical supplier of precision-engineered valve components and fluid power parts for military applications. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation, indicating it was competed in an unrestricted procurement environment.

Ballco Manufacturing has demonstrated sustained performance across the defense industrial base through its portfolio of over 150 federal contract awards totaling more than $3 million since 2021, with the vast majority involving ball valve components, assemblies, and related parts kits supplied to DLA Land and Maritime and Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). The company currently maintains six active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling, which serve as the primary vehicles for task order placement. Ballco's work typically involves mission-critical shipboard and land-based equipment components requiring stringent quality assurance protocols, including ISO-9001 compliance and adherence to military standards such as MIL-I-45208A. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor without documented subcontracting arrangements.
