The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Hardware awarded a firm fixed price definitive contract to CM Manufacturing Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Missoula, Montana. The $418,600 contract is for the delivery of 920 hollow pins under NSN 5315-01-109-7661, which are critical spare parts used to support the maintenance and repair of military rotorcraft, engines, and ground support equipment.
This contract award was the result of a sources sought notice issued by DLA Troop Support in June 2018, where the agency sought to identify qualified sources that could manufacture the specified pin part. As a small business contractor with expertise in precision machining for the aerospace and defense sectors, CM Manufacturing submitted the required source approval request package and was ultimately selected for this fixed price delivery order contract with no set-aside designation.
