Purchase Order SPE7M426P1690

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $3,325.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Pacific Aero Components on January 9, 2026, for contractor first article testing. The contract, designated 8511850045, will be performed in Valencia, California, with an ultimate completion date of July 27, 2026. This award was issued without a small business set-aside designation. Pacific Aero Components, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, will conduct the required first article testing as part of the defense procurement process to validate component specifications and manufacturing capabilities.

As a specialized supplier within the DLA's logistics supply chain since 2001, Pacific Aero Components has demonstrated expertise in producing precision aerospace and ground vehicle components for military applications. The company's product portfolio includes hose assemblies, coupling halves, quick disconnect plugs, and tube adapters—critical components that support operational readiness across aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle platforms. The first article test requirement under this purchase order reflects DLA's continued reliance on Pacific Aero Components' technical capabilities to ensure that manufactured components meet exacting defense standards and specifications before full-scale production or delivery.
