Purchase Order SPE7M426P1697

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $19,453.77 firm fixed-price purchase order to Aviator Systems Inc. for the supply of metallic tubes on January 15, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of August 10, 2026. This contract carries an 8(a) sole source set-aside designation, reflecting Aviator Systems' status as a certified SBA 8(a) program participant and minority-owned small disadvantaged business. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility in Murrieta, California. This award is issued under one of Aviator Systems' existing indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts with DLA, which collectively provide approximately $7 million in procurement authority through 2030 to support the agency's critical aircraft structural component supply chain.

Aviator Systems Inc. has established itself as a primary supplier of specialized aerospace structural components to DLA, having received over 150 prime federal contract awards since 2019 across both DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions. The company's product portfolio encompasses metallic tubes, aircraft struts, window panels, flap attachments, bleed air ducts, and various structural fittings and connectors that support military aircraft maintenance and operational readiness across multiple armed forces branches. The contractor self-performs the vast majority of its work and maintains active procurement relationships with DLA through multiple sole-source 8(a) IDV vehicles valued between $250,000 and $2 million, ensuring DLA's continued access to essential aviation spare parts without requiring individual competitive procurement actions.
