This is a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Robins Air Force Base to Hydraulics International, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Chatsworth, California. The contract is for the procurement of a pneumatic test station, which is a specialized piece of equipment used to test and maintain pneumatic systems on military aircraft and vehicles.
The contract has a total ceiling value of $275,218.00 and was awarded on August 14, 2015 with a completion date of September 30, 2016.
