Purchase Order SPE7L322P5522

A.J. Associates Manufacturing & Engineering CO. Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Clearwater, Florida, was awarded a $3,835.00 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime on May 25, 2022, for the production of a shouldered shaft component. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of June 9, 2025, represents a non-set-aside procurement supporting DLA's inventory of critical aerospace and defense hardware. The award leverages A.J. Associates' established capabilities in precision manufacturing for defense applications, particularly through CNC machining and mechanical assembly processes that align with the company's historical role as a prime supplier of aerospace components for military platforms and systems.

This purchase order is consistent with A.J. Associates' operational footprint within the DLA supply chain, where the company maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts and serves as a reliable source for specialized aerospace hardware components. The relatively modest contract value reflects the discrete nature of the shouldered shaft requirement, which falls within the company's typical delivery order range. As a registered small business with demonstrated capacity in producing mission-critical components for platforms including the B-52 Stratofortress and UH-60 Helicopters, A.J. Associates continues to support DLA's logistics and maintenance operations across its defense customer base.
