This is a $223,500.00 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to Aerometals, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in El Dorado Hills, California. The contract is for the delivery of an engine inlet barrier filter (EIBF), a component of the aircraft's engine subsystem currently fielded on U.S. Special Operations Aviation aircraft. The purpose is to reduce the maintenance burden associated with operations in high sand and dust environments and procure a lighter EIBF solution for the aircraft operating a unique YT-706 engine configuration. Aerometals, which has over 165 employees and two 75,000-square-foot facilities, frequently supports the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime as a prime contractor and subcontractor, delivering a wide range of aircraft parts, components, and structural materials to the U.S. federal government. This contract did not utilize a small business set-aside.
