James Ippolito & CO. Of Connecticut, Inc., a minority-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was awarded a $12,735 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Defense's Aviation command on May 4, 2023, for the supply of bushings and sleeves. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by June 2, 2025, with performance taking place in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This award aligns with the company's established role as a specialized supplier of aerospace hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which manages critical inventory and supply chain operations for military aircraft maintenance and logistics.

The contract represents a routine transaction within Ippolito James & Co's broader engagement with DLA Aviation, where the company maintains three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at approximately $250,000 each for pressure switch fittings, rotor blade shields, and machine thread plugs. The firm's expertise in manufacturing precision aircraft components has established it as a reliable supplier to the federal government, with a track record of delivering specialized aerospace hardware through both direct purchase orders and delivery orders issued under larger contract vehicles. This purchase order for bushings and sleeves supports DLA Aviation's ongoing requirement for component inventory to sustain military aircraft readiness and operational capability.
