The U.S. Air Force awarded a Total Small Business set-aside purchase order to FSR Consulting LLC (operating as Cirrus Systems) on August 22, 2025, for the procurement of digital torque multipliers designed for AE2100 aircraft engines. The contract, with a ceiling value of $80,376, calls for two units to be delivered to Port Hueneme, California, with an ultimate completion date of February 3, 2026. This firm fixed-price purchase order originated from a sources sought notice issued by the 146th Airlift Wing of the California Air National Guard, which conducted market research under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10 to identify qualified suppliers for specialized tooling supporting aircraft engine maintenance and overhaul operations.
Cirrus Systems, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive track record supplying specialized industrial equipment and components to Air Force installations and other defense agencies. The company's experience providing equipment to Air Force commands through previous small business set-aside awards, combined with its Federal General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract, demonstrates its capability to deliver specialized procurement requirements efficiently. The Total Small Business set-aside designation reflects the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in federal contracting while addressing the 146th Airlift Wing's operational needs for critical aircraft maintenance tooling.
