Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, was awarded a $3,496 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for a bearing sleeve component on December 18, 2025. The contract is scheduled for completion by February 2, 2026, with no set-aside designation applied. This award is issued under Brown Helicopter's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation, which was established on September 12, 2023, as a total small business set-aside vehicle with an annual ceiling of $250,000. The purchase order represents a routine component procurement to support military helicopter fleet maintenance and operational readiness.

Brown Helicopter has established itself as a specialized supplier of aviation hardware and mechanical components critical to Department of Defense helicopter operations, with extensive experience fulfilling DLA Aviation and other federal agency requirements. The company's contracting history demonstrates proficiency across multiple categories of helicopter components, including bearings, fasteners, structural elements, hydraulic systems, and precision-engineered assemblies. This particular bearing sleeve order exemplifies the type of component-level procurement that DLA Aviation routinely places through the IDC mechanism, enabling efficient acquisition of essential aviation parts without conducting individual competitive procurement actions for each routine requirement.
