About this award
Kihomac Inc., a veteran-owned and minority-owned small business based in Herndon, Virginia, was awarded a delivery order valued at $8.36M on August 15, 2024, for the manufacture and delivery of F-35A travel pods under the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program. The contract, funded by the Aeronautical Systems Center and executed under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) master Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, carries a firm fixed-price structure with completion targeted for December 31, 2025. No small business set-aside was designated for this award. Travel pods are specialized containment and transport systems for fighter aircraft components, and this delivery order represents Kihomac's ongoing role as a key aerospace manufacturing partner supporting major defense aviation platforms.
The contract engages a supply chain of specialized subcontractors to support full execution. Origen Manufacturing LLC was subcontracted in August 2024 to supply bulkheads, end caps, and structural supports; Ecas, LLC (Monroe Aerospace) provided hardware in October 2024; Enfasco, Inc. supplied aerospace fasteners in both October 2024 and March 2025; TCR Composites provided composite prepreg raw materials in February 2025; and a third-party vendor managed packaging for travel pod delivery in December 2024. This multi-tiered supply chain reflects the complex systems integration required to deliver aircraft components supporting the Defense Department's fifth-generation fighter modernization and sustainment objectives.
