Purchase Order SPE4A626P0349

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a purchase order valued at $8,968 to Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, for the procurement of bushings and sleeves—critical mechanical components used in military helicopter maintenance and operations. This firm fixed-price contract, issued on October 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 8, 2025, carries no set-aside designation and was awarded through open competition. The contract supports the DLA Aviation mission to sustain military helicopter fleet readiness by supplying specialized aviation hardware components essential for ongoing maintenance requirements across Department of Defense platforms.

This purchase order is issued under Brown Helicopter's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation, which was awarded in September 2023 with an annual ceiling of $250,000 and designated as a total small business set-aside. Brown Helicopter has established itself as a reliable supplier of aviation components to federal agencies including DLA Aviation, DLA Land and Maritime, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Navy, with particular expertise in helicopter hardware such as bearings, fasteners, hydraulic components, and mechanical assemblies. The company's demonstrated ability to execute both routine component procurements and larger specialized equipment acquisitions made it a suitable vendor for this bushings and sleeves procurement supporting military helicopter sustainability operations.
