Purchase Order SPE8EE26V0064

Orion Ropeworks, LLC, a Maine-based manufacturer with over 165 years of rope production expertise, was awarded a $48,000 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment division on October 27, 2025. The contract calls for the delivery of 32 units of fibrous rope (National Stock Number 4020007528878) to the DLA Distribution facility at San Joaquin within 137 days of the award date, with an ultimate completion deadline of January 12, 2026. This procurement was conducted as an open and full competition with no set-aside designation, following a Request for Quote process that closed on October 27, 2025. The contract represents typical procurement activity for Orion Ropeworks, which has received over 100 federal contract awards since 2019, primarily from DLA for fibrous rope products supporting military logistics and supply chain operations.

Orion Ropeworks specializes in the production of synthetic rope products including nylon, polyester, and polypropylene variants that serve defense and construction applications across the Department of Defense supply chain. The company, which has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2002 and operates manufacturing facilities in Benton and Winslow, Maine, continues to demonstrate sustained engagement with DLA through consistent award of firm fixed-price purchase orders for fibrous rope deliveries. While approximately 60 percent of the company's historical contract awards have included small business set-aside designations, this particular procurement competed on an unrestricted basis.
