Manzi Metals Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business located in Brooksville, Florida, was awarded a $35,525 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment on January 20, 2026, for the manufacture and supply of metal plates (National Stock Number 9535016895925). The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, originated from a Request for Quotation posted on January 7, 2026, with a competitive deadline of January 20, 2026. The procurement calls for seven units of metal plates to be delivered to DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma within 166 days of order award, with an ultimate completion date of May 20, 2026. This procurement falls under NAICS Category 332313 (Plate Work Manufacturing) and PSC Category 95 (Metal Bars, Sheets, Shapes).

The Defense Logistics Agency, a subordinate command of the Department of Defense, leverages its supply chain to support military operations and readiness. Manzi Metals' award reflects DLA's broader role in procuring and distributing critical materials and equipment to defense operations. As a certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business enterprise, Manzi Metals competes effectively within set-aside contract opportunities and brings additional value through its established relationships supplying metal components to major defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin and Rolls-Royce. The company's specialization in metal distribution and processing positions it well to fulfill DLA's demand for standardized metal plate components supporting defense infrastructure.
