Purchase Order SPE7MC26P0814

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded a $10,647 firm fixed-price purchase order to Dante Valve Company for a valve stem guide on December 4, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 3, 2026. The contract, which contains no set-aside designation, will be performed in Bellflower, California, where the awardee maintains its manufacturing operations. Dante Valve Company is a family-owned, small business manufacturer specializing in precision valve components and related equipment for defense applications, having served as a trusted supplier to federal defense agencies since 2002. The company has established extensive expertise in manufacturing military-specification valve products across multiple categories, supported by a robust prime contract portfolio with DLA entities and significant subcontracting relationships with major defense shipbuilders including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and Bath Iron Works Corporation.

This purchase order represents a continuation of DLA's reliance on Dante Valve Company as a recurring supplier of specialized valve components essential to defense logistics and materiel readiness operations. The award aligns with the company's existing indefinite delivery contract vehicles with DLA Land and Maritime, including a $250,000 single-award IDC for disk valve provision awarded in January 2025 and a second $250,000 IDC for helical compression springs awarded in October 2025. These arrangements enable DLA to maintain adequate inventory of precision valve components across its distribution network serving both domestic and overseas military depots, with individual purchase orders and task orders typically ranging from under $1,000 to over $300,000 depending on component requirements and order volume.
