Purchase Order SPEFA526P0052

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation awarded Container Research Corp (CRC), a small business manufacturer based in Aston, Pennsylvania, a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $6,928.55 for a protective tube assembly, with a completion date of January 9, 2026. This non-set-aside contract reflects CRC's specialized capability in designing and manufacturing precision-engineered protective components for military logistics and equipment protection applications. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, which manages spare parts and components for aircraft operations across the military, issued this purchase order as part of its ongoing procurement efforts to sustain aviation fleet readiness.

Container Research Corp has established itself as a critical supplier to the Department of Defense through over 50 years of operations in the specialized container and component manufacturing sector. The company currently holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts, including a $4.9 million five-year agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) for container design and manufacturing services, which provides a framework for task orders like this purchase order. CRC's expertise in producing custom protective assemblies using steel, aluminum, and composite materials, combined with its existing relationships with major defense primes such as Boeing and Sikorsky, positions it as a strategic supplier for aviation component requirements within the defense supply chain.
