Purchase Order SPE8EE26V0178

The Defense Logistics Agency has awarded a $4,400 firm fixed-price purchase order to Alloy Sling Chains, LLC (doing business as ASC Industries) for the procurement of multiple leg slings. The contract, effective December 4, 2025, with completion targeted for February 2, 2026, represents a straightforward purchase from the Illinois-based manufacturer. This award was not set aside for small business participation, though Alloy Sling Chains maintains small business status and has an extensive history of DLA contracts, including four active indefinite delivery contracts worth $250,000 each for wire strand, chain assemblies, swivel hooks, and welded chains. The place of performance is located in Hazel Crest, Illinois, where the vendor manufactures specialized rigging equipment.

Alloy Sling Chains, LLC has established itself as a critical supplier of rigging and hardware components to federal defense agencies, particularly through DLA Aviation and DLA Construction and Equipment divisions. The company specializes in manufacturing welded chains, shackles, chain assemblies, wire rope assemblies, and slings for military aviation and logistics applications. This purchase order for multiple leg slings aligns with the vendor's core product offerings and supports DLA's broader logistics and equipment requirements for military operations. The vendor's established track record, manufacturing capabilities, and existing contract portfolio position it as a reliable supplier for this procurement need.
