The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $2,774 to American Structural Systems, Inc. for an aircraft channel component. This purchase order, issued on October 21, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2023, represents a routine procurement action supporting military aircraft maintenance and sustainment operations. The award carries no set-aside designation and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Wichita, Kansas. American Structural Systems, Inc., a small business manufacturer specializing in precision-engineered aircraft structural components and assemblies, has established itself as a reliable supplier to DLA Aviation through its extensive contracting history delivering critical aerospace hardware essential for military aviation readiness.

This purchase order is issued under American Structural Systems' existing single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation, a $250,000 total small business set-aside vehicle awarded on February 15, 2022, designated specifically for the procurement of spring assemblies and related aircraft components. The indefinite delivery mechanism provides DLA Aviation with flexible procurement capability to issue task orders and purchase orders as requirements emerge for aircraft structural components and assemblies needed to support military aircraft operations. To date, the contractor has received multiple delivery orders against this vehicle, with this channel component order representing an incremental requirement consistent with the contractor's established product portfolio of structural plates, brackets, channels, fairings, and various other specialized aerospace hardware.
