About this award

The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded a $109.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to Bussmann Aviation LLC (doing business as Heloflights) on September 12, 2025, for flight hour support under CLIN 0001 of the TPS MD-500 Quality Evaluation contract. The work, which extends through January 30, 2026, involves providing helicopter flight testing and operational support services using MD-500 aircraft at the Naval Air Warfare Center facility in Patuxent River, Maryland. The award was issued without a small business set-aside designation and represents continuation work for established test and evaluation programs supporting the Naval Air Systems Command.

Bussmann Aviation LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Marion, Virginia, has maintained a specialized focus on MD-500 helicopter operations and quality evaluation support exclusively for the Department of the Navy since its SAM.gov registration in May 2004. This contract is the third prime award from the Naval Air Warfare Center to the contractor, with cumulative contract value reaching approximately $285K across awards issued between August 2021 and September 2025. The company's demonstrated expertise in helicopter flight testing and its established track record with the Navy's test programs position it as a reliable provider of mission-critical aviation support services for naval test and evaluation activities.
