The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded a $56,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry, Inc. (doing business as Barry Wright Corp) on May 7, 2025, for the procurement of 160 units of resilient weapon system mounts (NSN 5342013662683). The contract, which originated from a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside solicitation posted in March 2025, requires delivery to DLA Distribution within 104 days after order. The work will be performed in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of December 17, 2025. This procurement falls under Product Service Code 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and supports the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to maintain supply chain readiness for Department of Defense operations.

Hutchinson Aerospace is a foreign-owned aerospace components manufacturer that specializes in precision-engineered resilient mounts and vibration isolation systems for military applications. As an established large manufacturer, the company holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with DLA Aviation, including a $699,534.90 IDV for resilient weapon system mounts through July 2030. While the originating solicitation carried a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside designation, the award to Hutchinson Aerospace as a non-small business entity reflects the government's prioritization of securing components from an approved source with demonstrated capability to meet military specifications and delivery timelines critical to defense readiness.
