The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a $35,143.72 firm fixed-price purchase order to Bourdon Forge Co Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer specializing in high-precision metal components for aerospace and defense applications. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is for the production of shackles—critical metal hardware components used in military aircraft and parachute systems. Work will be performed at Bourdon Forge's facility in Middletown, Connecticut, with an ultimate completion date of August 24, 2026. This award represents a continuation of the company's established role as a key supplier to DLA, leveraging its expertise in manufacturing specialized parachute and cargo hardware that supports military logistics and operational readiness.

Bourdon Forge has demonstrated sustained capability in fulfilling DLA requirements through multiple prior contract awards and holds several indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions, including a significant $1.98 million indefinite delivery contract for ejector snaps established in March 2021. The company's track record includes consistent delivery of specialized metal components such as snap hooks, ring assemblies, and static line snaps across varying contract values and performance periods. This purchase order aligns with DLA's broader mission to maintain supply chain capacity for critical military hardware and reflects the contractor's proven ability to meet firm fixed-price delivery requirements within established timelines.
