Purchase Order SPE4A626PE586

Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on February 4, 2026, for the procurement of plain spherical bearings. The contract ceiling value is $12,123.00, with an ultimate completion date of March 23, 2026. This award is unclassified as a set-aside procurement, meaning it was competed on an open basis rather than restricted to small businesses. The work will be performed in Pensacola, Florida.

This purchase order is issued under Brown Helicopter's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation, a total small business set-aside IDC valued at up to $250,000 annually and awarded on September 12, 2023. Brown Helicopter has established itself as a specialized supplier of critical aviation components and helicopter hardware to support military operations and maintenance across the Department of Defense. The company's extensive experience includes providing bearings, fasteners, structural components, hydraulic systems, electrical components, and mechanical assemblies essential for sustaining military helicopter readiness, particularly for platforms such as the MH-60T operated by the Coast Guard and Department of Defense. This delivery order exemplifies the efficient procurement mechanism through which DLA Aviation places orders for routine component requirements without conducting individual competitive actions.
