About this award
The U.S. Air Force Academy awarded a $291,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to Aero Research Instruments, Inc., a small disadvantaged business manufacturer specializing in aerospace testing equipment. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, calls for the delivery of one low-load force balance and one 500-pound force balance for wind tunnel testing. These precision instruments are essential for measuring aerodynamic forces during aircraft and component testing at the Academy's aeronautical research facilities located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The contract is scheduled for completion by June 10, 2026.
Aero Research Instruments brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having previously delivered a tri-sonic wind tunnel force balance valued at $128,750 to the Air Force Academy and performed numerous calibration and check-load services for NASA wind tunnel operations. The company's established track record in producing specialized force balance equipment for federal aerospace research programs positions it to meet the technical requirements of this award. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing in the open market, Aero Research Instruments secured this contract based on its demonstrated capabilities in providing high-precision instrumentation critical to the Air Force Academy's aeronautical engineering and training missions.
