Purchase Order SPE4A726P4908

Eltee Tool & Die LLC, a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Johnson City, New York, has been awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $19.8K by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for a government first article test. The award, issued on January 7, 2026, carries an ultimate completion date of August 30, 2027. This contract represents a continuation of Eltee Tool & Die's substantial work supporting the Department of Defense, as the company maintains seven active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation with ceiling values ranging from $250K to $2M. The contract was not set aside under any specific set-aside program.

The government first article test will be performed in Johnson City, New York, and is intended to evaluate and qualify components or manufacturing processes for potential broader procurement. As a specialist in aerospace components and structural elements for military aircraft and ground support equipment, Eltee Tool & Die has established itself as a critical supplier in the defense industrial base, having been awarded over 100 prime federal contracts predominantly focused on aircraft skins, doors, fairings, firewalls, and airframe support structures. The company's proven capability to meet rigorous defense manufacturing standards, combined with its experience performing subcontract work for major defense contractors like Boeing, positions it as a qualified vendor for this government evaluation effort.
