FORT BELVOIR, Va., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Weinbrenner Shoe Company Inc. of Merrill was among the award recipients when the Defense Logistics Agency honored 23 industry partners, customers and individuals Feb. 12 with its Business Alliance Awards.
Weinbrenner received the Outstanding Readiness Support Award in the historically underutilized business (HUB) zone, small business category. The award recognizes large, small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small businesses, historically underutilized business zone small businesses, and service disabled, veteran-owned small businesses that have provided extraordinary customer support, service or product directly to a crisis situation.
Overall, the Business Alliance Awards recognize those who have demonstrated outstanding efforts to partner with DLA and improve the agency’s mission — providing supplies and services to America’s warfighters. DLA Vice Director Air Force Maj. Gen. Arthur B. Morrill III presented the annual awards.
The agency’s primary role includes managing more than 5 million consumable items, such as rations, medical supplies and equipment, clothing and textiles, and repair parts for land, sea and air weapons systems and platforms.
Weinbrenner has demonstrated outstanding readiness support by consistently meeting the ever-changing requirements of a warfighter safety essential item, the hot weather steel toe boot. Since the item was introduced, demand continually increased and Weinbrenner has provided consistent overall outstanding performance and readiness support to the military services.
DLA provides supply support, and technical and logistics services to the U.S. military services and several federal civilian agencies. Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Va., the agency is the one source for nearly every consumable item, whether for combat readiness, emergency preparedness or day-to-day operations inside the Department of Defense.
