Honeycomb Company of America, Inc., a small business aerospace components manufacturer based in Sarasota, Florida, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $2.5 million and performance period extending through February 5, 2031. This Total Small Business set-aside contract supports the procurement of KC-135 Aircraft Panel Structural Aluminum components (National Stock Number: 1560-00-231-9229) through firm fixed-price task orders. The contract stems from a pre-solicitation notice issued on December 2, 2025, which solicited proposals for an indefinite quantity contract with a 60-month base performance period and estimated annual demand of 40 units per year. Deliveries are required 283 days after receipt of order under Free on Board (FOB) Destination terms, with inspection and acceptance at origin. The procured component is classified as both an export control item and configuration control item subject to Boeing Right Guard controls and designated as a critical application component.

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation initiated this procurement to support the maintenance, repair, and operational readiness of the KC-135 Stratotanker fleet, a critical aerial refueling platform for the United States Air Force. Honeycomb Company's demonstrated expertise in manufacturing specialized aerospace structural components, combined with its established track record as a qualified small business supplier to DLA Aviation and major aerospace prime contractors including The Boeing Company and Derco Aerospace, positioned it as the selected vendor. The contract's indefinite quantity structure enables rapid procurement and responsive logistics support for this essential military aircraft platform. The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) will apply throughout contract performance, ensuring continued monitoring of contractor compliance and delivery performance standards.
