The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation agency awarded a $4,076.00 firm fixed-price purchase order to Sunbelt Design & Development, Inc., a small business HUBZone-certified manufacturer based in San Antonio, Texas, under contract number 8510570791. This government first article test award, issued on May 10, 2024, with completion targeted for December 31, 2025, carries no set-aside designation.
