The award was made without a set-aside designation, allowing competition among all responsible sources. Aviatrix Inc., a small business aerospace and defense supplier based in Sherwood, Oregon, was selected as the prime contractor.

The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by January 15, 2026, with performance taking place at Aviatrix's Sherwood, Oregon facility.
