Delivery Order SPE4AX18D9433-SPE4A226F0290

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded a $9,251.92 firm fixed-price delivery order to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office for a shouldered shaft component on October 20, 2025. This delivery order is issued under the company's single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with DLA Aviation, which carries a ceiling value of $99,999,999.99 and extends through April 20, 2030. Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, a joint venture between Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. and The Boeing Company, serves as the original equipment manufacturer and lead systems integrator for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft program. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation and will be performed in North Richland Hills, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2029.

The shouldered shaft represents one of numerous specialized aerospace hardware components that Bell Boeing supplies to support V-22 Osprey sustainment across the U.S. Department of Defense, particularly for the Marine Corps and Navy. The V-22 Osprey is a critical advanced vertical lift platform that requires continuous component replenishment and maintenance to sustain operational readiness. As the primary supplier through the DLA Aviation BOA, Bell Boeing enables rapid delivery order issuance without competitive re-solicitation, facilitating efficient procurement cycles for both routine component replenishment and specialized sustainment requirements across multiple service branches and operational commands.
