The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $425,226.65 to Pivotal Power Inc. (doing business as DRS Pivotal Power) on November 24, 2025, for the manufacture of Terminal Box units (NSN 5940016088621). Pivotal Power, a Canadian subsidiary headquartered in Bedford, Nova Scotia, and ultimately owned by Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo SPA, will perform manufacturing, component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping services at its facility in Nepean, Ontario. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation and represents a firm fixed-price purchase order typical of DLA Aviation's procurement strategy for specialized electrical and electronic components supporting U.S. military operations.
The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by October 26, 2026, and reflects DLA Aviation's sourcing efforts initiated through a pre-solicitation market research notice posted in October 2024 seeking qualified manufacturers for approximately 157 units. Pivotal Power's selection aligns with its established capability as a primary supplier of power-related products and electronic components to DLA and Naval supply agencies, supported by its existing indefinite delivery contract portfolio with DLA Land and Maritime. The award demonstrates Leonardo SPA's strategic positioning through its subsidiaries to serve critical defense logistics requirements across multiple procurement channels within the federal government.
