AAR Manufacturing, Inc., doing business as AAR Mobility Systems, was awarded a $1,534 firm fixed-price purchase order for shipping and storage services by the Defense Department's Construction and Equipment division on November 24, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 23, 2026. The work will be performed in Cadillac, Michigan, where the company is headquartered.
