Purchase Order SPE4A726P4350

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation division awarded a $64,500 purchase order to Lobo Ventures LTD (doing business as Precision Mold & Tool-Government Division) on December 17, 2025, for a Government First Article Test. This firm fixed-price contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, will be performed in San Antonio, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of June 4, 2031. Lobo Ventures LTD is a small business manufacturer specializing in precision aircraft components and has maintained a robust federal contracting relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency since 2002, serving as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for major aerospace firms including Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

The award represents a single task order or purchase against one of Lobo Ventures' existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, which carry ceiling values ranging from approximately $250,000 to $3.56 million. As a supplier of critical military aviation components—including structural parts, hydraulic assemblies, duct assemblies, and other specialized aircraft equipment—the company has demonstrated consistent capability in delivering complex, precision-manufactured goods that support U.S. military aviation readiness. The Government First Article Test designation indicates that this contract involves qualification testing of initial production items to ensure compliance with government specifications and performance requirements before full-rate production authorization.
