Purchase Order SPE4A722P1335

Military Aircraft Parts, a small business manufacturer based in Rancho Cordova, California, was awarded a $16,013.08 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on October 26, 2021, for government first article testing. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for ultimate completion on February 17, 2025. DLA Aviation, the funding federal agency, utilizes such first article test contracts to evaluate and validate critical aircraft components and structural parts before authorizing full-scale production or procurement. Military Aircraft Parts has established itself as a key supplier to DLA Aviation, holding multiple indefinite delivery contracts valued up to $1.2 million for specialized aviation components including aircraft pylons, handrail assemblies, fuel tank attach lugs, and manifolds.

This purchase order represents one of Military Aircraft Parts' ongoing contributions to the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to support maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations across the U.S. military aircraft fleet. The company's long-standing registration in SAM.gov since 2002 and consistent track record of delivering aviation components underscore its role within the defense industrial base. First article test contracts such as this are instrumental in qualifying suppliers and validating component specifications, ensuring that critical parts meet rigorous military standards before larger-scale procurement commitments are made by the federal government.
