Purchase Order SPEFA126P0036

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Design/OL, Inc. for the manufacture of a nose rib component valued at $13,047.74. The contract, issued on November 5, 2025, is scheduled for completion by January 5, 2026. Design/OL, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Port Jefferson Station, New York, was selected as the prime contractor. This award carries no small business set-aside designation. The nose rib represents a precision-machined aerospace component critical to military aviation systems, consistent with the company's established expertise in producing high-precision parts for defense applications.

This purchase order reflects DLA Aviation's ongoing reliance on Design/OL, Inc. as a supplier of machined components supporting the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of military aviation equipment. The company maintains an extensive contracting history with DLA Aviation, including multiple indefinite delivery contracts with ceiling values up to $2 million, positioning it as a key supplier for mission-critical aerospace components. The relatively modest value of this individual purchase order exemplifies the typical transactional nature of DLA's delivery orders issued against established contractor relationships for discrete parts requirements across the military's aviation portfolio.
