Richard Manufacturing Company, a small business manufacturer based in Ogden, Utah, was awarded a $58,772 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex to procure spare power distribution panels for F-16 aircraft. This total small business set-aside contract, awarded on June 26, 2025, supports ongoing F-16 fleet maintenance and modernization efforts. The award stems from a restricted solicitation (SPRHA4-25-Q-0351) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which limited competition to three qualified sources based on specific technical and manufacturing capabilities. Richard Manufacturing, which holds a pre-existing position on the qualified sources list, was selected to provide seven power distribution panels (National Stock Number 6110-01-229-1087) with delivery expected by August 24, 2026.
Richard Manufacturing Company brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having served as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense since 2002 and currently holding an $1.8 billion indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity master contract with the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command for F-16 wiring harness kits and related components. The company specializes in manufacturing high-quality electrical components, including power distribution panels and cable assemblies for military aviation platforms. Performance will be centered at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, with the company responsible for meeting stringent technical specifications, supply chain traceability requirements, and military packaging standards as outlined in the original solicitation.
