Purchase Order SPE7L126P0737

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $4,250 to Aero Manufacturing, LLC (doing business as Aero Component) on December 19, 2025, for the procurement of retaining straps. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside award, has an ultimate completion date of February 2, 2026, with performance to be executed at the contractor's facility in Schertz, Texas. Aero Manufacturing is a woman-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Selma, Texas, with over two decades of federal contracting experience specializing in aerospace and military equipment components, industrial hardware, and replacement parts for the Department of Defense.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Aero Manufacturing's established role as a key supplier to DLA, which has issued multiple prime contract awards to the company across various divisions including Land and Maritime, Aviation, and Construction and Equipment. The contractor currently maintains four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and designated as total small business set-asides, supporting procurement of components such as gun mount pedestals, access covers, and mounting brackets. The firm fixed-price structure and relatively modest order value of this retaining strap procurement reflects the tactical nature of DLA's supply chain operations, which leverage pre-established vendor relationships to rapidly fulfill essential industrial parts requirements supporting military readiness and equipment maintenance operations.
