Purchase Order SPE8E626V0375

The U.S. Department of Defense's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $1,554.40 firm fixed-price purchase order to Basic Rubber and Plastics CO. for the supply of rubber strip components. The contract, awarded on December 4, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 2, 2026, was not set aside for small businesses despite the vendor's eligibility and history of securing small business set-aside contracts. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Walled Lake, Michigan. Basic Rubber and Plastics CO., a long-established manufacturer registered in the System for Award Management since 2001, specializes in producing critical rubber, plastic, and metal components for military and defense applications across land, maritime, and aviation platforms.

The awardee has demonstrated substantial experience as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency across multiple operational domains, holding three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime. This purchase order aligns with the company's core business of supplying specialized nonmetallic components, seals, and hardware essential for military vehicle, vessel, and equipment maintenance and operations. The modest contract value reflects the consumable nature of rubber strip materials, which support the broader defense supply chain's need for reliable, precision-engineered components.
