Purchase Order SPE4A726P3501

The U.S. Air Force Aviation division awarded a $7,143.84 firm fixed-price purchase order to Trident Research, LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Austin, Texas, for the procurement of grooved headed pins. The award, issued on December 3, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of March 13, 2026, and was made without set-aside designation, reflecting competitive selection based on technical merit and pricing. Trident Research, registered in the System for Award Management since 2002, specializes in precision-engineered mechanical components and test and evaluation technologies for federal defense agencies.

This purchase order represents a routine component procurement consistent with Trident Research's established portfolio of mechanical parts supply to the Department of Defense. The contractor's broader federal contracting experience includes a substantial $30.5M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with Naval Strategic Systems Programs for the Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile program through June 2029, and participation in the Air Force Materiel Command's Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments, and Spectrum II (TETRAS II) indefinite delivery vehicle valued at up to $999M through June 2028. Trident Research's demonstrated technical capabilities and track record with multiple military branches position it as a reliable supplier for both component procurement and complex engineering support across defense infrastructure modernization initiatives.
