Purchase Order SPE4A725P6896

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation (Defense Logistics Agency Aviation) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business aerospace components manufacturer based in Sarasota, Florida, for the production of a structural aluminum panel. The contract, valued at $8,001.24, was awarded on March 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 22, 2025. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular award, though the contractor frequently receives small business set-aside contracts through the Defense Logistics Agency's Indefinite Delivery contracts. This purchase order represents a task order likely issued under one of Honeycomb's existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicles with DLA Aviation, which enable rapid procurement of aerospace components for military aircraft sustainment.

Honeycomb Company of America serves as a critical supplier to the Department of Defense, specializing in complex metal and composite aerospace parts essential for maintaining military aircraft fleet readiness, including B-52 bombers, KC-135 tankers, and C-5 transport aircraft. The company's expertise in manufacturing precision structural panels, skin assemblies, fairings, and other aircraft components has established it as a reliable partner for both direct defense contracts and subcontract work with major aerospace primes such as The Boeing Company and Derco Aerospace. This award contributes to the company's ongoing role in supporting military aircraft maintenance and operational availability through its established production capabilities.
