Purchase Order W91CRB21P0032

The U.S. Army's Office of the Chief of Staff awarded a $19,744.69 firm fixed-price purchase order to Southwest Distribution Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Washington, D.C., for newspaper subscription and delivery services. The contract, which commenced on September 20, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 19, 2026, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. Southwest Distribution Inc. specializes in providing newspapers, magazines, and subscription services to federal government agencies and maintains established relationships across multiple Executive Branch departments and defense agencies. The award supports the Office of the Chief of Staff's operational information needs by ensuring timely delivery of print and digital periodicals to its Washington, Virginia headquarters.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Southwest Distribution Inc.'s established service relationship with the Department of Defense, complementing the firm's broader portfolio of periodical delivery contracts across federal agencies. The company's background as a long-standing federal contractor, registered in the System for Award Management since 2001, and its experience managing larger indefinite delivery vehicles such as its $2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Executive Office of the President's Office of Administration, positions it as a reliable provider of publication services to government entities. The firm fixed-price structure provides budget certainty for the Army while the small business set-aside designation supports the Department of Defense's commitment to small business contracting goals.
