Purchase Order SPE4A626PD962

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $92.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to Trident Research, LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Austin, Texas, on January 28, 2026. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the delivery of special nuts with an ultimate completion date of March 4, 2027. Trident Research is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive experience as a defense contractor specializing in precision-engineered mechanical components and manufacturing capabilities for federal defense agencies since 2002.

This award reflects Trident Research's established role as a reliable supplier to the Department of Defense across multiple military divisions. The company maintains a substantial federal contracting portfolio that spans component procurement and engineering support services, including a notable $30.5M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with Naval Strategic Systems Programs for Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile in-service support through June 2029, and multiple delivery orders under the Air Force's Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments, and Spectrum II (TETRAS II) indefinite delivery contract vehicle with a $999M ceiling. This purchase order for mechanical components represents the type of specialized procurement that Trident Research routinely executes to support the military's operational readiness and modernization initiatives.
