Purchase Order SPE4A726P1060

Cascade Aviation Services Inc., a Marysville, Washington-based manufacturer of aviation components, was awarded a $11,855 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for a contractor first article test. The award, issued on October 20, 2025, is scheduled for completion by July 2, 2027, and involves no set-aside designation. This contract represents a direct engagement with DLA Aviation, the federal agency responsible for managing spare parts and logistics support across U.S. military aviation operations. The first article test requirement indicates that Cascade Aviation Services will be developing and testing a prototype or initial production sample to validate design, performance, and manufacturing specifications before full-scale production authorization.

Cascade Aviation Services has maintained an active contracting relationship with DLA Aviation since its SAM registration in 2000, with extensive experience delivering specialized structural aircraft components including skins, doors, brackets, and other critical hardware to support military aircraft maintenance and depot overhaul operations. The company also maintains three indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each valued up to $250,000 over five years, underscoring its established role as a reliable supplier for the defense logistics enterprise. This current first article test award aligns with the company's core competency in aviation component manufacturing and positions it for potential follow-on production orders upon successful completion of testing and validation activities.
