Mills Manufacturing Corporation, a Woodfin, North Carolina-based manufacturer specializing in military parachute systems and components, has been awarded a $380,311 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for the production of T-11 Personnel Parachute System harness assemblies. The contract, awarded on September 11, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of January 4, 2028, and represents a task order under the company's existing single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $3,133,422 for T-11 harness assemblies. This procurement supports the Department of Defense's critical soldier safety equipment needs across multiple military branches, including the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Mills Manufacturing, a family-owned enterprise with over 75 years of experience in parachute system manufacturing, was selected without a set-aside designation based on its established capabilities and performance history as a trusted supplier to the DoD. The company's extensive portfolio of federal contracts—including multiple indefinite delivery contracts exceeding $160 million for cargo parachute systems and spare parts—demonstrates its capacity to deliver specialized military equipment consistently and at scale. The T-11 harness assemblies delivered under this award will contribute to maintaining critical inventory and operational readiness for personnel parachute systems across the military services.
