Purchase Order SPE4A726P3085

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $327,200 to D-J Engineering Inc. for the manufacture of aircraft beams, with completion targeted for June 1, 2027. D-J Engineering, a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Augusta, Kansas, specializes in complex aerospace structures and components critical to U.S. military aircraft platforms. This award was made without a small business set-aside designation and represents a direct procurement action supporting the Defense Department's aircraft maintenance and readiness operations.

This purchase order likely represents a task order issued against one of D-J Engineering's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, which maintain ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $3.065 million. The company has demonstrated substantial expertise in manufacturing aircraft structural components including skins, panels, ribs, spars, longerons, and related assemblies for legacy platforms such as the C-135 Stratotanker, B-52, B-1B, E-3, and A-10 aircraft. D-J Engineering's contract performance encompasses government first article testing and manufacturing for critical application and safety items, with established capabilities as both a prime contractor and subcontractor to major defense primes including Boeing and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation.
