Purchase Order SPMYM225P1897

Marine Equipment Supply LLC, a small business based in Spanish Fort, Alabama, was awarded a $82,875 firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces on July 15, 2025, for the procurement of GX3 Garnet Abrasive. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the delivery of 50 units of Blastone 'ExtremeBlast' GX3 Garnet Abrasive in 4,400-pound bulk bags, totaling 220,000 pounds of specialized abrasive material. The abrasive materials are to be delivered to the Defense Logistics Agency's TRIREFFAC Receiving facility in Silverdale, Washington, with an ultimate completion date of July 22, 2025. This procurement supports surface preparation and equipment maintenance activities critical to naval shipbuilding and logistics operations.

Marine Equipment Supply LLC is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its established expertise in supplying abrasive blast media to defense agencies. The company maintains multiple indefinite delivery contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command and other Department of Defense components, including a $11.3 million IDV for coal slag and a $1.26 million IDV for Ruby Red Hard Rock Abrasive Garnet through the Army Materiel Command. The firm's primary location in Spanish Fort, Alabama, and its specialization in maritime and industrial abrasive products align directly with the technical and logistical requirements of this purchase order to support naval operations and maintenance programs.
