Purchase Order SPE8E726P0316

The U.S. Defense Department's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $13,478.43 firm fixed-price purchase order to Air Cruisers Company, LLC (doing business as Safran Aerosystems Evacuation) on January 6, 2026, for the procurement of a light beacon. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of April 21, 2026, was not designated as a set-aside and will be performed in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Air Cruisers Company, a foreign-owned subsidiary of French aerospace and defense company Sagem SA, specializes in the design and manufacture of aerospace and aircraft evacuation systems and has maintained a robust federal contracting portfolio since 2001, primarily serving defense and maritime agencies including the Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Supply Systems Command, U.S. Coast Guard, and Department of the Air Force.

This purchase order represents a relatively modest procurement within Air Cruisers Company's broader portfolio of specialized aerospace safety equipment supply contracts. The company has established itself as a critical supplier of life-saving aviation equipment, including inflatable life rafts, aircraft escape slides, and associated mechanical components. The light beacon acquisition aligns with the company's historical mission of providing specialized safety and support equipment to military platforms, leveraging its established relationships and technical expertise in delivering critical defense infrastructure components across multiple armed services.
