Magellan Industrial Trading Company, Inc., doing business as Magellanmetals, was awarded a $29,105.00 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Sea Systems Command on June 5, 2025, with ultimate completion by June 23, 2025. This Total Small Business set-aside contract calls for the procurement of a specialized K500 nickel-copper-aluminum alloy plate with precise dimensions of 2.510/2.635" x 12" x 54", annealed to meet extensive technical specifications. The plate is required to support U.S. Navy maritime operations and will be delivered to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii through DLA Distribution. Magellan was selected based on evaluation criteria including past performance assessment through the Supplier Performance Risk System and technical compliance with the specified material requirements, which necessitate comprehensive documentation including chemical and mechanical properties test reports and slow strain rate tensile testing from approved laboratories.

The Norwalk, Connecticut-based company specializes in supplying high-performance metal components and alloys for critical defense and maritime applications, with previous contract awards ranging from approximately $1,250 to $47,000. As a small business contractor meeting the NAICS 332313 Plate Work Manufacturing category requirement, Magellan demonstrates the specialized capabilities necessary to deliver the precision-engineered K500 alloy plate within the accelerated delivery timeline required by the Navy's operational needs.
