The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $79,544.32 firm fixed-price purchase order to Metco Engineering Corp, a small business metal fabrication contractor headquartered in Santa Ana, California, for the supply of metal bars under National Stock Number 9530002449035. This Total Small Business set-aside contract was awarded on December 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 26, 2026, following an RFQ posted by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment on November 24, 2025. The procurement requires delivery of 64 feet of metal bar to DLA Distribution facility W1A8, with all work performed at Metco's Santa Ana facility. This award reflects DLA's ongoing reliance on Metco as a qualified supplier within the nonferrous forging and metal bar product categories that support military logistics and operational readiness.

Metco Engineering Corp has maintained an established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency since its federal contractor registration in April 2002, specializing in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and titanium products in both standard and custom-fabricated configurations. The company currently operates under a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for metallic tubing products, demonstrating DLA's confidence in Metco's capability to consistently deliver metal components meeting military specifications. Approximately 40-50 percent of Metco's contract awards are designated as Total Small Business set-asides, positioning the company as a strategic participant in the federal government's small business industrial base for critical metal supply chain requirements.
