Purchase Order SPE4A726V0134

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a $12,714.78 firm fixed-price purchase order to Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business aerospace manufacturer based in Sarasota, Florida. The contract, awarded on October 10, 2025, calls for the production of a wing panel assembly with an ultimate completion date of July 17, 2026. This award was not set aside exclusively for small businesses, though the contractor qualifies as a small business manufacturer. Honeycomb Company of America specializes in the production of complex metal and composite aerospace components and structures, serving as a critical supplier to the Department of Defense for military aircraft platforms including the B-52 bomber, KC-135 tanker, and C-5 transport aircraft.

This purchase order represents a task order under Honeycomb's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, which provide a strategic sourcing mechanism for rapid procurement of specialized aerospace parts supporting military aircraft maintenance and operational readiness. The company's extensive experience producing structural panels, skin assemblies, fairings, and trailing edges for various military platforms, combined with its proven performance as both a prime contractor and subcontractor to major aerospace firms such as The Boeing Company, positions it as a qualified supplier for this wing panel assembly requirement. The contract supports the Department of Defense's broader sustainment objectives for maintaining the operational capability of its aircraft fleet.
