Purchase Order SPE4A626P6822

Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, was awarded a $1,680 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on November 20, 2025, for the procurement of a bushing sleeve component. The contract is scheduled for completion by January 5, 2026, with performance taking place in Pensacola, Florida. This purchase order was not issued under a small business set-aside, indicating it was awarded through open competition. The award represents a routine procurement action consistent with DLA Aviation's ongoing need to source specialized aviation hardware components that support military helicopter fleet maintenance and operational readiness.

This purchase order is issued under Brown Helicopter's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation, which was established on September 12, 2023, with an annual ceiling of $250,000 and is designated as a total small business set-aside. The IDC framework allows DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders on an as-needed basis for critical aviation components without conducting individual competitive solicitations, enabling efficient acquisition of routine parts essential to military operations. The bushing sleeve is representative of the mechanical and structural components that Brown Helicopter regularly supplies to support helicopter maintenance across Department of Defense platforms, particularly the MH-60T helicopter operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal agencies.
