About this award
Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) awarded a $291,150 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ehmke Manufacturing Co Inc., a small business contractor based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to manufacture hail protection covers for C-130J aircraft. The total small business set-aside contract, awarded on July 30, 2025, calls for the design and production of 10 custom-engineered cover sets to protect aircraft flight control surfaces (ailerons and elevators) from hail impact up to 1-1¾ inches in diameter while withstanding 50-knot wind speeds. The covers must be UV-resistant, waterproof, weigh no more than 60 lbs per set, and feature quick-installation design enabling deployment by 2-3 personnel within one hour. Deliverables include specialized hardware such as straps, buckles, D-rings, and "Remove Before Flight" streamers, with all covers colored red and capable of compact storage on trailers.
Performance will take place at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico, with delivery required within 60 calendar days of contract award. Ehmke Manufacturing, a Subchapter S Corporation with over 90 years of experience manufacturing technical fabric products for the Department of Defense, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its established track record producing specialized military textile items and its existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency. The contract ultimately concluded on October 31, 2025, supporting AFSOC's aircraft readiness and operational logistics mission.
