Purchase Order SPE4A725PG385

Aeroparts Machining, LLC, doing business as Warnkes Machining Co LLC, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $14,800 by the Defense Department's Aviation component on September 25, 2025, for a government first article test. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 16, 2027, and will be performed in Mansfield, Texas. As a small business manufacturer specializing in precision-engineered aircraft components, Aeroparts Machining has established itself as a reliable supplier within the Defense Logistics Agency's aviation logistics network, with a history of delivering mission-critical hardware including engine components, structural supports, and specialized aerospace assemblies.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Aeroparts Machining's established role as a key defense supplier. The company holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and other Defense Logistics Agency components, including a $2 million contract for engine hanger cones and several smaller contracts totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. The first article test procurement enables the government to validate the contractor's capability to produce components meeting military specifications before full-scale production, supporting the Defense Department's broader aviation readiness objectives.
