Purchase Order SPEWA626P0030

Brown Helicopter, Inc., a small business based in Pensacola, Florida, was awarded a $1,078 firm fixed-price purchase order on October 28, 2025, for the procurement of bushings and sleeves to support military aviation operations. The award, which carries an ultimate completion date of December 19, 2025, was issued without a set-aside designation under open competition. This purchase order is issued under Brown Helicopter's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a single-award, small business set-aside vehicle valued at up to $250,000 annually that was established on September 12, 2023. The DLA Aviation contract provides a flexible procurement mechanism through which the agency issues firm fixed-price delivery orders for aviation hardware components needed to support military helicopter maintenance and operational readiness.

The funding for this award originates from the Department of Defense's Aviation directorate through the DLA, reflecting the critical role that routine component procurement plays in sustaining helicopter fleet operations across the military services. Brown Helicopter has demonstrated substantial expertise in supplying specialized aviation parts and components, including bearings, fasteners, structural components, hydraulic system parts, and mechanical assemblies for military helicopter platforms, particularly the MH-60T. The company's established relationship with DLA Aviation, combined with its track record of reliable execution on both routine and complex component procurements, positions it as a key supplier for essential aviation hardware that directly supports military readiness and operational capability.
