Associated Aircraft Supply Co. LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Grapevine, Texas, was awarded a $32,256.09 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on April 12, 2024, for the procurement and delivery of nine knob assemblies (National Stock Number 1680010693563, manufacturer part number A4501-3). The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside and requires delivery to the DLA Distribution Depot in Hill by May 17, 2025. Associated Aircraft Supply Co. LLC specializes in distributing electromechanical components for the aviation and aerospace sectors and has established itself as a reliable supplier to the Department of Defense, with over 100 federal contract awards since 2021 and multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA valued up to $250,000 each.
This award reflects DLA Aviation's continued reliance on Associated Aircraft Supply Co. LLC as a qualified supplier of specialized aircraft components. The company's extensive background in providing critical electrical and mechanical equipment to military applications, combined with its established relationships with major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris Technologies, and Boeing, positions it well to fulfill this procurement requirement. The contract's relatively modest ceiling value and eight-month delivery window align with the company's operational focus on providing flexible, responsive supply support for military and defense organizations' as-needed component requirements.
