Purchase Order SPE4A626V7523

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $14.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to Trident Research, LLC for the procurement of bushings and sleeves. The award was made on January 28, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of June 2, 2026, and no set-aside designation was applied. Trident Research, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Austin, Texas, was selected based on competitive merit and pricing. The company has demonstrated sustained capability in delivering precision-engineered mechanical components to defense agencies, with a track record of providing similar components including bushings, washers, bearing sleeves, and spacer assemblies.

This purchase order represents a routine component procurement consistent with Trident Research's established role as a preferred supplier of mechanical components to the Department of Defense. The company's broader federal portfolio includes a substantial $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, as well as significant work under the Air Force's Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments, and Spectrum II (TETRAS II) indefinite delivery vehicle, which carries a $999M ceiling. Trident Research's diversified contracting relationships across multiple military branches and agencies underscore its operational readiness to support complex defense infrastructure and weapons systems modernization initiatives.
