Purchase Order SPE4A725PD576

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Caprice Engineering Company, Inc. for the manufacture of actuator piston guides, with a contract ceiling value of $13,400. The award, issued on July 31, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 22, 2027, was made without a set-aside designation. Caprice Engineering, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned, and veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Inglewood, California, will perform the work at its facility in Inglewood. The company specializes in producing precision components and spare parts for military aircraft maintenance and sustainment requirements, drawing on its established expertise in defense sector manufacturing.

This purchase order is consistent with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's ongoing procurement strategy to secure mission-critical aircraft components from qualified small business vendors. Caprice Engineering has demonstrated a track record of reliable delivery on similar contracts for specialized aviation parts, including actuating cylinders, drive shafts, and various mechanical assemblies. The firm fixed-price structure and component specification indicate this is a direct replacement part requirement for military aircraft operations, supporting the readiness and maintenance capabilities of the defense aviation fleet.
