Purchase Order SPE4A625V585M

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation division awarded a Total Small Business set-aside purchase order valued at $12,844 to CRD Machining, Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Los Angeles, California. The contract, awarded on August 26, 2025, calls for the production of bushings and sleeves—precision-engineered machined components critical for military aircraft maintenance and repair operations. CRD Machining, a registered Subchapter S Corporation specializing in defense and aviation hardware manufacturing, will deliver these components by the ultimate completion date of February 9, 2026, under a firm fixed-price arrangement.

This purchase order represents a continuation of CRD Machining's established role as a key supplier to the DLA, leveraging the company's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Aviation division that carries a $250,000 ceiling value for bushings and sleeves. The Total Small Business set-aside designation reflects the company's certified status as a minority-owned and woman-owned enterprise and underscores the federal government's commitment to supporting small business participation in defense manufacturing. CRD Machining's specialization in producing intricate mechanical components essential for military operations positions it as a critical supplier within the DLA's supply chain network, enabling flexible, responsive procurement of hardware required to maintain defense platforms.
