Purchase Order SPE4A725PF650

This purchase order, valued at $4,311.00, was awarded to Lbz, L.l.c, doing business as Platinum Aerostructures, by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2026. The contract is designated as a First Article Test, which indicates the contractor will conduct testing and validation of an initial production unit to ensure it meets government specifications and quality standards. This non-set-aside firm fixed-price purchase order will be performed at the contractor's Nevada, Missouri facility. Platinum Aerostructures is a SBA-certified HUBZone firm and small disadvantaged, veteran-owned business that specializes in manufacturing critical aerospace structural components for military aircraft.

DLA Aviation has consistently utilized Platinum Aerostructures as a supplier of specialized aerospace parts through multiple indefinite delivery contracts and purchase orders. The company's primary focus on structural panels, aircraft skin, trailing edges, brackets, and related aerospace components directly supports the logistics and maintenance operations of U.S. military aircraft fleets across the Armed Forces. Given the modest contract value and First Article Test designation, this award likely represents validation testing for a new component or supplier capability that, upon successful completion, could lead to larger production orders under one of the contractor's existing indefinite delivery contract vehicles with DLA Aviation.
