Purchase Order SPM4A711MM337

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Aerospace Engineering & Support Inc. (AES), a small business manufacturer and engineering firm, on April 19, 2011. The contract, valued at $79,037.00, is for the production of various aircraft structural components, including plates, skins, ribs, longerons, fairings, bulkheads, channels, and brackets, to support the maintenance and sustainment of military aviation fleets. AES has also provided first article testing services and engineering support under this contract. While the contract was not set aside, AES has leveraged its status as a specialized small business in the aerospace sector to secure multiple federal contracts with DLA Aviation and other defense agencies. Additionally, AES holds several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with DLA Aviation, each with a potential value of approximately $250,000, to provide a flexible contracting mechanism for the agency to procure critical aircraft structural components over extended periods.
