S3 Aerodefense LLC, a small business specializing in aerospace defense and aviation logistics based in Wisconsin, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $50,560 by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime on September 15, 2025. The contract calls for the delivery of 40 units of oil cooler seals (NSN 5330006316068) to the DLA Distribution facility in Warner Robins with an ultimate completion date of October 19, 2026.

The vendor brings extensive experience supplying critical aviation components across multiple military branches and has previously performed as both a prime contractor and subcontractor to major defense firms, positioning it well to meet the Defense Logistics Agency's requirement for this specialized hardware component.
