Purchase Order SPE8E426V0176

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Manzi Metals Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Brooksville, Florida, for the supply of metal bars valued at $4,626.75. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation despite the vendor's small business status, is scheduled for completion by February 2, 2026, with performance taking place in Spring Hill, Florida. Manzi Metals Inc. is a SBA-certified women-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business that specializes in metal distribution and processing, serving as a primary supplier of metal products to DLA and its subordinate commands across various functional areas including Land and Maritime, Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and Aviation.

This purchase order aligns with DLA's operational role in supplying the Department of Defense with critical materials and components. Manzi Metals has established itself as a reliable metal supplier through its portfolio of federal contracts ranging from small orders to larger awards exceeding $70,000, and the company also performs subcontract work for major defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Rolls-Royce Corporation, providing specialized metal components for aerospace and military applications. The firm fixed-price structure ensures cost predictability for the government while supporting the broader objective of expanding opportunities for small disadvantaged and women-owned business enterprises within the defense industrial base.
