Purchase Order SPE4A726V0801

On November 18, 2025, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a purchase order valued at $249,900 to D-J Engineering Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Augusta, Kansas, for the production of longerons (NSN 1560014224167). The contract, issued as a firm fixed-price purchase order with no set-aside designation, calls for the delivery of 49 units of these critical aircraft structural components to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma, with an ultimate completion date of May 6, 2026. Longerons are longitudinal stiffening members that form part of an aircraft's fuselage structure and are essential to maintaining structural integrity across military aircraft platforms.

D-J Engineering is a specialized aerospace structures manufacturer with over two decades of federal contracting experience, having been registered as an active defense contractor since 2002. The company has established itself as a reliable supplier of precision-engineered aerospace components to DLA Aviation and other Department of Defense agencies, with particular expertise in aircraft skins, panels, ribs, spars, longerons, and related structural assemblies. This award is consistent with D-J Engineering's active portfolio of indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, which include multiple $2 million vehicles specifically designated for aircraft longerons and structural support components, reflecting the agency's continued reliance on the company's manufacturing capabilities to support military aircraft maintenance and readiness operations.
