The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a $19,521.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Hartwell Corporation for a hinge assembly, with an ultimate completion date of November 4, 2025. The contract, awarded on May 20, 2025, carries no set-aside designation, reflecting Hartwell's status as a large business entity. The work will be performed at Hartwell's facility in Placentia, California. Hartwell Corporation, a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, is a established supplier of aircraft latches, latching systems, and related hardware for commercial and military aviation applications, making it well-suited for this flight-critical component procurement.
This purchase order aligns with DLA Aviation's ongoing strategy to maintain inventory of specialized aircraft components through both individual purchase orders and larger indefinite delivery contracts. Hartwell currently holds three active IDCs with the DLA totaling approximately $1.25 million across multiple product categories, including latch assemblies and related mechanical hardware. The hinge assembly procurement supports the DLA's mission to ensure availability of critical components for military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations, leveraging Hartwell's extensive track record of providing quality components and comprehensive services including inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping.
