Purchase Order SPE8E726P0283

Jo-Kell Inc., an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, was awarded a $1,496 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Department's Construction and Equipment division on December 16, 2025, for the procurement of lighting fixtures. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of April 15, 2026, will be performed in Chesapeake, Virginia, with no small business set-aside designation applied. Jo-Kell Inc. is an established electrical components supplier to the Department of Defense with a long history of serving military organizations through both prime contractor and subcontractor arrangements with entities including the Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command.

This award represents a routine component procurement consistent with Jo-Kell Inc.'s core business of supplying critical electrical equipment and lighting solutions to military infrastructure and operational requirements. The company maintains an active portfolio of indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency covering various electrical components with ceiling values up to $250,000, and serves as a subcontractor to major defense primes including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. The relatively modest contract value reflects a standard maintenance or equipment replacement need within the Defense Department's construction and equipment portfolio.
