Design Criteria, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Roy, Utah, has been awarded a $54.9K purchase order by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (an Air Force Materiel Command facility) for repair efforts supporting the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-Special Environmental Observations Network (DMSP-SEON). The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and awarded on August 14, 2025, requires Design Criteria to perform Test, Teardown, and Evaluation (TT&E) services and antenna assembly repairs on two specialized antenna units (NSN 5985012267082 BM, Part Number 8009) within specified delivery timelines of 30 and 90 calendar days respectively. The award includes ancillary deliverables such as Repairable Item Inspection Reports, Counterfeit Prevention Plans, Engineering Change Proposals, and Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force system reporting in compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1 and MIL-STD-129 packaging standards.
This contract reflects the government's reliance on Design Criteria's established expertise in repairing critical defense electronic components for legacy military systems. The company, registered in SAM.gov since 2002, has developed significant capability in supporting DMSP antenna control unit repairs, having received a prior $117.4K award for similar services in September 2025. Work will be performed at Design Criteria's facility in Roy, Utah, with completion targeted for February 17, 2026. The firm-fixed-price structure and modest contract value are consistent with Design Criteria's typical portfolio of specialized repair and electronic assembly contracts supporting Department of Defense sustainment objectives.
