This Total Small Business set-aside contract requires delivery of six units total—five units with a 556-day delivery deadline and one unit with a 180-day delivery deadline—to the DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma. The award represents a continuation of D-J Engineering's established role as a critical supplier of aerospace structural components to the Department of Defense, supporting aircraft maintenance and readiness operations across legacy military platforms including the C-135 Stratotanker, B-52, B-1B, E-3, and A-10.

D-J Engineering's selection for this procurement aligns with its extensive track record delivering precision-engineered aerospace components under multiple Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Indefinite Delivery Contracts, with ceiling values ranging up to $3.065 million. The company's capabilities encompass government first article testing, Critical Application Item and Critical Safety Item manufacturing, and complex structural component production subject to strict configuration and export control requirements. As a long-standing federal contractor with registrations dating to 2002, D-J Engineering serves as both a direct supplier to the Department of Defense and as a subcontractor to major defense primes including Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Bell Textron, reinforcing its critical position within the defense industrial base for aerospace component manufacturing.
