The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation agency awarded a $17,633.16 firm fixed-price purchase order to Tri-State Plastics, Inc. for the procurement of container tie-down components, with an ultimate completion date of September 1, 2026. This contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, reflecting the awardee's status as a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business. Tri-State Plastics, located in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, specializes in aerospace component manufacturing and has maintained an extensive contracting relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation since its registration in the System for Award Management in 2001.

Tri-State Plastics has demonstrated consistent performance as a critical supplier of aviation-related products to support military aircraft maintenance and readiness. The company maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation with ceiling values ranging from approximately $250,000 to $2 million, through which this purchase order was likely issued as a task order. Beyond its direct contracting with DLA, Tri-State Plastics also serves as a subcontractor to major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Derco Aerospace, Inc., manufacturing components for advanced military aircraft programs such as the F-35 Lightning II. The company's product portfolio includes fairings, structural panels, access covers, and various specialized aerospace assemblies that are essential to maintaining the operational capabilities of the U.S. military aircraft fleet.
