Purchase Order SPE7M426V1906

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $40,305.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Mid-State Aerospace Inc., a minority woman-owned small business based in Lenexa, Kansas, on January 23, 2026. This Total Small Business set-aside contract calls for the manufacture and delivery of 26 nonmetallic hose assemblies (National Stock Number 4720014797731) to the DLA Distribution facility at W1A8 within 24 days of order placement. The contract, which must be completed by November 4, 2026, originated from a Request for Quotation solicitation posted on January 12, 2026, that restricted competition to qualified small business concerns within the Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing industry.

Mid-State Aerospace, which holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its established expertise in aerospace hardware and custom hose assemblies. The company's certifications as a small disadvantaged business, economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, and woman-owned small business made it eligible for this small business set-aside opportunity. This award supports the Department of Defense's broader logistics and supply chain management operations, with nonmetallic hose assemblies serving as critical components in military and defense programs across various platforms.
