Morris Machine Co Inc., a specialized aerospace and defense manufacturer based in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been awarded a $183,750 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to manufacture Forward Nacel Mounts (National Stock Number 2840-01-083-5101). This Total Small Business set-aside contract, awarded on May 12, 2025, requires delivery of 21 units to DLA Distribution Jacksonville within 321 days of order and 1 unit within 120 days, with an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and reflects the government's ongoing need for precision-engineered aircraft component parts to support military aviation readiness and maintenance operations.
Morris Machine Co Inc. has demonstrated consistent capability in delivering specialized aviation hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency, with a manufacturing facility located in Southport, Indiana. The company's long-standing SAM.gov registration since 2002 and track record of successfully delivering critical aircraft components—including damper turbine blades and aircraft mounting hardware across multiple prior federal contracts—positioned it as a qualified vendor for this specialized procurement. As a small business, Morris Machine Co Inc. was eligible to compete under the Total Small Business set-aside designation, which restricts competition to small business entities and supports the government's objectives of fostering small business participation in federal contracting.
