The U.S. Department of Defense's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a $82,154.00 firm fixed-price purchase order contract to Alaskan Copper Companies, Inc., a small business manufacturer and distributor of metal products, for the procurement of metallic pipes. This award was designated as a 100% small business set-aside contract. The original solicitation was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, seeking to acquire slip couplings under the NAICS code 332919. The contract supports NAVSEA's naval vessel construction, maintenance, and repair programs by providing specialized metal components, including those made from copper-nickel alloys, stainless steel, and nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy 625. Alaskan Copper Companies, Inc. has a history of providing these types of products to the U.S. government, particularly to NAVSEA, and has served as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for major shipbuilders.
