Purchase Order SPE4A725PD896

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $4,093.60 firm fixed-price purchase order to Bourdon Forge Co Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Middletown, Connecticut, for the procurement of parachute connection links. The contract, issued on August 13, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of December 11, 2026, and was not set aside exclusively for small businesses. Bourdon Forge specializes in high-precision metal components for aerospace and defense applications, with particular expertise in manufacturing parachute and cargo hardware critical to military operations.

This award leverages Bourdon Forge's established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which has been the company's primary federal customer since its registration in the SAM.gov system in 2002. The contractor holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and other defense logistics divisions, including significant blanket agreements valued up to $1.98 million for specialized components such as ejector snaps, snap hooks, and ring assemblies. This purchase order represents a discrete requirement under the broader defense aviation logistics supply chain and demonstrates continued confidence in the contractor's capability to deliver mission-critical hardware that supports military aviation and operational readiness.
