Purchase Order SPE4A725V5184

Hartwell Corporation, a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated and established supplier of aircraft hardware to the Department of Defense, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $6,495.40 for a strut assembly aircraft component on September 22, 2025. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2026, will be performed at Hartwell's facility in Placentia, California. This award was made without a set-aside designation, reflecting Hartwell's status as a large business. The funding agency for this procurement is Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, which manages the supply chain for critical aircraft components and parts used across military aviation platforms.

This purchase order represents a routine transaction within Hartwell's ongoing relationship with DLA Aviation, the company's primary federal customer. Hartwell currently maintains three significant indefinite delivery contracts with DLA agencies, including a $749,999.99 IDC with DLA Aviation for latch assemblies that runs through July 2028, positioning the company as a key supplier for specialized aircraft hardware such as latches, hinges, and mechanical assemblies. The modest value of this particular strut assembly order reflects the transactional nature of purchase orders issued against such framework agreements, enabling the DLA to procure essential flight-critical components on an as-needed basis.
