Purchase Order SPE8E925V2274

W S Darley & Co, a small business manufacturer and distributor of firefighting and emergency response equipment based in Itasca, Illinois, was awarded a $2,974.85 firm fixed-price purchase order for fire protective gear by a Defense-affiliated Construction and Equipment agency on August 12, 2025. This contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 10, 2025, represents a direct acquisition with no set-aside designation. The award leverages W S Darley & Co's established expertise in providing specialized protective equipment to federal agencies, building on the company's extensive contracting history across multiple government departments including the Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Defense, and other federal entities.

This purchase order likely draws from one of W S Darley & Co's existing indefinite delivery vehicles, most notably the $500 million Special Operations Equipment - Tailored Logistics Support (SOE-TLS) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Defense Logistics Agency, which enables the company to fulfill task orders for mission-critical protective gear and emergency response equipment. The relatively modest contract value reflects a routine procurement of fire protective equipment needed to support ongoing defense and emergency response operations at the specified place of performance in Itasca, Illinois.
