Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $7,008.00 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on December 9, 2025, for the procurement of bushings and sleeves (item number 8511800761). The contract carries an ultimate completion date of January 23, 2026, and was awarded without a set-aside restriction, indicating the company competed on an open basis. This award 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 designated as a total small business set-aside to support military helicopter maintenance and sustainment operations.

The bushing and sleeve components procured under this purchase order support critical aviation hardware requirements for Department of Defense helicopter operations and maintenance across the U.S. military. Brown Helicopter has demonstrated substantial expertise as a specialized supplier of helicopter mechanical components, bearing assemblies, fasteners, structural elements, and hydraulic system components essential for sustaining military aviation readiness. The company's extensive contract history with DLA Aviation, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Coast Guard—with particular emphasis on supporting platforms such as the MH-60T helicopter—establishes its capability to fulfill specialized aviation component requirements within the compressed delivery timeline of approximately six weeks.
