Purchase Order SPE4A725PA325

The U.S. Department of Defense's Aviation division awarded a $49,073.64 firm fixed-price purchase order to Jkoz Engineering Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Blackstone, Virginia, for a Government First Article Test. The award, issued on May 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 12, 2028, carries no set-aside designation despite the contractor's small business status. Jkoz Engineering specializes in the production of nonmetallic aircraft, defense, and industrial components, including seals, seal assemblies, doors, hatches, and fittings critical to military aircraft maintenance and operations.

This contract represents a continuation of Jkoz Engineering's established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which has repeatedly selected the company for supply contracts across multiple categories. The first article test designation indicates that this procurement involves validation and approval of the contractor's manufacturing processes and product specifications before full-scale production or supply operations commence. Jkoz Engineering's portfolio includes several larger indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation valued at up to $2 million, positioning the company as a reliable supplier for the agency's global defense supply chain supporting various military platforms and equipment.
