Purchase Order SPE7MC26V0215

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime branch awarded a $10,129.38 firm fixed price purchase order to Ausco Inc., a small business manufacturer of precision fluid control valves headquartered in Farmingdale, New York. The contract, awarded on October 20, 2025, calls for the delivery of a hydraulic bleeder valve (National Stock Number 8511711927) with an ultimate completion date of February 9, 2026. This award was not designated as a small business set-aside, though Ausco maintains its small business status and is well-established in the federal defense supply chain, having served as a federal contractor since 2001. The valve will be manufactured and delivered to the Farmingdale, NY location.

This purchase order represents a discrete procurement action within Ausco's broader relationship with the DLA, which currently includes an Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 for relief valve units. Ausco's specialization in manufacturing source-controlled valve components for military and aerospace applications—including hydraulic, check, bleeder, safety relief, and pressure equalizing valves—positions the company as a critical supplier within the federal logistics and equipment maintenance infrastructure. The company's history of supporting major defense contractors and multiple DLA branches underscores its strategic importance in sustaining military equipment operability and readiness.
