Purchase Order SPE8E925P1269

Flatwater Metals Company, an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and tribally-owned subsidiary of Ho-Chunk, Inc., was awarded a $38.4K firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division on September 11, 2025. The contract, designated as a HUBZone set-aside, calls for the delivery of six metal plates (National Stock Number 9535013836132) to DLA Distribution San Diego with an ultimate completion date of December 10, 2025. The performance location is Winnebago, Nebraska, where Flatwater Metals maintains its operations as a metal products supplier specializing in federal defense procurement.

This award reflects Flatwater Metals' established track record as a reliable federal contractor serving the Defense Logistics Agency across its multiple divisions. The company's HUBZone and 8(a) certifications, combined with its status as a tribally-owned small disadvantaged business, align with DLA's preference for supporting small business participation in construction and equipment procurement. The contract is consistent with Flatwater Metals' primary business focus of providing metal products to the Department of Defense, and falls within the company's demonstrated capacity as evidenced by its existing $7.5M Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command for various steel products.
