About this award
The U.S. Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, acting through the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex at Tinker Air Force Base, awarded a $156,375 firm fixed-price purchase order to HPS Fabrications Inc., a small disadvantaged and veteran-owned metal fabrication manufacturer based in Wyandotte, Michigan. The contract, set aside for total small business, calls for the design, engineering, fabrication, and testing of two sets of B-52 Stratofortress fuselage shoring cradles and two custom trailers to support depot maintenance operations. The scope includes manufacturing shoring components engineered to match the aircraft's fuselage contours with specified load-bearing requirements across seven fuselage stations, seven horizontal stabilizer cradle supports, and nine cradle adapters. All equipment must comply with extensive safety, environmental, and technical standards, including detailed documentation and tool control protocols, with a minimum one-year warranty required. The trailers are specified as white powder-coated units capable of towing at 20 miles per hour with locking tow bars and rubber wheels.
HPS Fabrications is well-positioned to execute this effort, having previously delivered B-52 maintenance equipment including fuselage shoring and bomb bay stands to the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, with a demonstrated track record of providing specialized metal-fabricated products and maintenance infrastructure equipment to multiple branches of the Department of Defense since 2008. The contract carries a 15-week delivery schedule from award with critical milestones including a pre-fabrication review within five business days of contract award and fit and function testing scheduled for September and December 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2025. The award reflects the Air Force's continued reliance on HPS Fabrications' specialized manufacturing capabilities to support the operational readiness of the B-52 fleet and the sustainment mission at Tinker Air Force Base.
