Purchase Order SPE8E526P0302

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division, awarded a $1,358.70 firm fixed-price purchase order to BRP Manufacturing Co (doing business as Buckeye Rubber Products) on November 25, 2025, for the procurement of solid rubber sheet materials. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by January 5, 2026, with all work performed at the contractor's manufacturing facility in Lima, Ohio. This purchase order represents a continuation of the agency's ongoing relationship with BRP Manufacturing Co, a small business manufacturer of industrial rubber products that has demonstrated consistent capability in supplying specialized rubber materials to support military logistics and equipment maintenance operations.

BRP Manufacturing Co has established itself as a reliable supplier to the Department of Defense since at least 2021, holding multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000. The company specializes in producing solid rubber sheets, rubber strips, nonmetallic channels, and adhesive rubber tapes, with previous contract awards ranging from under $100 to over $84,000. The contractor frequently performs first article testing to ensure compliance with federal specifications and has generated substantial delivery orders under existing indefinite delivery contracts, including a recent $42.6 million order in February 2025, demonstrating the DLA's strategic reliance on this supplier for critical rubber materials supporting defense supply chain requirements.
