The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation agency awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $30,133.48 to FN Herstal (Fabrique Nationale Nouvelle Herstal), a Belgian manufacturer of small arms and weapons systems components, on December 19, 2023. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, covers the procurement of shoulder-headed pins and is scheduled for completion by March 13, 2025, with performance taking place in Belgium. FN Herstal, identified as a child entity under UEI KJ2JPWZ5HY55, is a critical supplier of specialized defense components to the DoD, including the Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Air Systems Command, and Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command.

This award reflects FN Herstal's established role as a key vendor for precision-engineered defense components and small arms-related hardware. The company holds significant indefinite delivery contracts with Naval Air Systems Command, including a major single-award IDC valued at $21.5 million through December 2029 for GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun systems and associated components. FN Herstal's consistent procurement of specialized parts such as pins, mechanical stops, adapters, and machine gun components demonstrates its strategic importance in supporting U.S. military readiness and logistics operations.
