Airtech Innovations LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Orlando, Florida, was awarded a $470.8K firm fixed-price contract by the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center on June 26, 2025, to design, fabricate, install, and test a mechanized materials handling system at Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina. This non-ACAT contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, represents the company's largest contract to date and reflects its established capability in manufacturing specialized aircraft support infrastructure for military applications. The contract performance period is 390 days from the award date, with an ultimate completion deadline of January 7, 2026.
The mechanized materials handling system was solicited through a competitive Request for Proposal (FA8604-25-R-B014) posted in April 2025 under NAICS code 333922 for Conveyor and Conveying Equipment Manufacturing. The government evaluated proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, with Airtech Innovations selected as the successful offeror. As a small business awardee, Airtech Innovations is subject to subcontracting limitations restricting subcontractor use to no more than 50 percent of the contract value, excluding material costs. This award aligns with the Air Force's operational logistics modernization efforts and builds upon Airtech Innovations' track record of delivering custom military logistics infrastructure, particularly for U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa operations.
