Purchase Order N0017314P1729

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $7,247 firm fixed-price purchase order to Sparton Aydin, LLC (doing business as Aydin Displays) on July 10, 2014, for the procurement of flat panel displays. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2014, was performed in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, and utilized no small business set-aside designation. Sparton Aydin, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems LTD and a specialized manufacturer of industrial, military, and air traffic control display technology, was selected as the prime contractor for this delivery order.

Sparton Aydin has established itself as a critical supplier of display systems to the U.S. Navy through recurring contracts with Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command, typically on a sole-source basis due to its proprietary technical capabilities and original equipment manufacturer status. The company maintains strategic subcontracting relationships with major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems, and The Boeing Company. As a child company of Sparton Corporation, which provides electronic component assemblies to defense primes, Sparton Aydin's procurement of flat panel displays supports the Navy's broader operational requirements for specialized display equipment across various military platforms and systems.
