Purchase Order SPE4A618P6096

Meggitt Safety Systems Inc., a subsidiary of aerospace and defense manufacturer Meggitt PLC, was awarded a $80,112 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Defense Aviation agency on January 11, 2018, for the procurement of heat detectors. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside award, reflects the competitive nature of Meggitt Safety Systems' position in the federal marketplace. Performance under this contract was scheduled to conclude by July 31, 2018, with work to be performed at the company's facility in Simi Valley, California. Heat detectors are critical safety-critical components widely utilized in military aircraft fire detection systems and maintenance operations.

This award is consistent with Meggitt Safety Systems' established role as a key supplier of aviation safety equipment to the Department of Defense and associated logistics commands. The company has a demonstrated history of delivering specialized detection and sensing equipment to military platforms, including fire detectors and heat detector assemblies valued at over $1.6 million on recent Defense Logistics Agency contracts. The relatively modest value of this purchase order suggests it may represent a requirements-based order under an existing indefinite delivery vehicle or represent a specific replenishment need for heat detector inventory supporting military aviation operations.
