Delivery Order SPE4A723D5482-SPE4A723F032E

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation awarded a delivery order to Aerial Machine & Tool Corporation, doing business as Capewell Aerial Systems, on July 27, 2023, for the manufacture of strap assemblies for parachute systems. Valued at $36,842.29 with firm fixed-price terms, this delivery order is scheduled for completion by January 9, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation. The work will be performed at Capewell Aerial Systems' facility in Meadows of Dan, Virginia. As a veteran-owned small business manufacturer, Capewell specializes in designing and producing mission-critical aviation combat equipment and survival gear for military applications, and this award reflects the company's established expertise in providing specialized parachute and personnel safety components to defense customers.

This delivery order likely derives from one of Capewell Aerial Systems' existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the Department of Defense, most notably its $49.2 million Aircrew Combat Equipment contract with Army Contracting Command-Redstone or its multiple $250,000 indefinite delivery vehicles with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. These parent contracts enable streamlined procurement of specialized aviation life support equipment, including parachute strap assemblies and deployment systems. The award demonstrates Capewell's continued role as a critical supplier of aviation safety components to military branches and reflects the ongoing demand for specialized parachute and personnel protection equipment across DoD platforms.
