Purchase Order SPE4A625P0ZG1

Defense Support Services, Inc., a minority-owned small business based in Arlington, Texas, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $6,247.40 by the U.S. Department of Defense Aviation office on September 18, 2025. The contract calls for the supply of bushings and sleeves, classified under Federal Supply Class 8511651106, with performance expected to conclude by November 9, 2026. This award was not designated as a set-aside contract, allowing Defense Support Services to compete on an unrestricted basis despite holding multiple socioeconomic certifications including HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone), Small Disadvantaged Business, and Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise status. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Arlington, Texas.

This purchase order reflects Defense Support Services' established role as a key supplier of aviation consumable items and hardware to the Department of Defense, particularly through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division. The contractor's expertise in providing fasteners, specialized aviation hardware, and related components supports military aviation readiness and maintenance operations. The relatively modest ceiling value of this task order is consistent with the company's typical procurement profile, which includes numerous firm fixed-price purchase orders for standard hardware and consumable aviation supplies that enable efficient fulfillment of immediate operational requirements across domestic and overseas military depots.
