Purchase Order SPE7M325V4215

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $8.8K firm fixed-price purchase order to A.J. Associates Manufacturing & Engineering CO. Inc. (doing business as AJ Associates) on September 5, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 4, 2025. The contract, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division, was performed in Clearwater, Florida, and was not designated as a set-aside. A.J. Associates, a small business manufacturer specializing in precision aerospace components and hardware for military applications, is a well-established supplier within the federal defense industrial base with a robust history of prime and subcontractor relationships across the defense community.

This purchase order represents a routine delivery order under A.J. Associates' existing relationship with DLA Land and Maritime, consistent with the company's established portfolio of firm fixed-price contracts for critical aerospace hardware. The Clearwater-based manufacturer brings advanced manufacturing capabilities including CNC machining, mechanical and hydraulic testing, and assembly services to support DLA's logistics and maintenance operations across military platforms. Given the company's historical focus on components such as landing gear parts, fasteners, seals, and aircraft structural assemblies, this award likely procures similar mission-critical aerospace hardware to sustain Department of Defense readiness and operational capabilities.
