The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex has awarded multiple delivery order contracts to Texstars, LLC, a subsidiary of PPG Industries, Inc., to purchase F-16 fighter jet canopy transparencies. These firm fixed-price contracts, valued at over $39 million in total, support the Air Force's sustainment of its F-16 fleet through the procurement of specialized aerospace parts. The contracts do not utilize any small business set-asides, as Texstars, a manufacturer of aircraft transparencies, sealants, and coatings, serves as the prime contractor. The place of performance for these delivery orders is Grand Prairie, Texas, and the periods of performance range from 2017 through 2023. In addition to the F-16 canopy contracts, Texstars holds several indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency to provide a variety of structural aircraft panels, window panels, and other spare components to maintain military aviation platforms on an as-needed basis. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of various Air Force weapon systems, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon. By issuing these delivery order contracts to Texstars, the Air Force can reliably procure transparency canopies to sustain its operational F-16 fleet. Texstars, as a division of the global aerospace supplier PPG Industries, leverages its manufacturing expertise and existing federal contract vehicles to fulfill the Air Force's requirements for these critical aircraft components.
