D-J Engineering Inc., a veteran-owned small business aerospace manufacturer based in Augusta, Kansas, was awarded an $174,300 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on August 5, 2025. The contract calls for the production of seven units of structural aircraft panels (NSN 1560014358266) to be delivered to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma by May 22, 2026. This award is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small businesses. D-J Engineering's selection reflects its established expertise in manufacturing critical aerospace structural components for military platforms including the C-135, B-52, B-1B, E-3, and A-10 aircraft.

The procurement supports DLA Aviation's mission to maintain readiness and sustainment of defense aircraft through the supply of specialized structural components. D-J Engineering's extensive track record with the agency, including multiple indefinite delivery contracts with ceiling values ranging up to $2 million, demonstrates its capability to reliably deliver complex aerospace manufacturing requirements. The company's subcontract relationships with major defense integrators such as The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman, and Vertex Aerospace further reinforce its position as a qualified supplier within the defense aerospace industrial base.
