Purchase Order N0038325P024N

Hornet Acquisitionco, LLC, operating as Onboard Systems and a subsidiary of Goodrich Corporation (now part of RTX Corporation's Collins Aerospace division), was awarded a $171,497 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Supply Systems Command on May 14, 2025, for the manufacture of an aircraft-mounted winch. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by February 9, 2026, with performance taking place in Anaheim, California. Hornet Acquisitionco specializes in aerospace and defense hoisting equipment and rescue systems, with extensive experience supplying critical mechanical and electronic components to military branches, including the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The company's selection reflects its established capability in aircraft winch systems, supported by significant existing contracts with the federal government, including a $24.6 million indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center for repair and overhaul of mounted winches and internal rescue hoists used on military rotary-wing aircraft such as the HH-60G and UH-1N helicopters. The aircraft-mounted winch delivered under this Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order will likely support maintenance and operational requirements for Navy aviation assets, leveraging Hornet Acquisitionco's demonstrated expertise as both a manufacturer and repair service provider for military helicopter and aircraft systems.
