The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency has given the go-ahead to CPI Aerostructures to resume work on producing structural wing components for F-16 fighters. CPI Aerostructures – a manufacturer of structural assemblies for fixed wing aircraft, helicopters and airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance pod systems – had earlier suspended its work on the structures after a contract competitor filed a protest that the company was not eligible for the small business award for the work. The DLA, however, has now approved resumption of work following a Small Business Administration decision in favor of the company. Under a $53.5 million contract, CPI Aerostructures is to support maintenance, repair and overhaul work on more than 1,000 wings on F-16 fighters in operation around the world. Included in the November 2014 contract are provisions for logistic support for the wing MRO efforts. The contract has a five-year base period of performance with a three-year extension option. Details of the protest action were not disclosed. However, CPI Aerospace said the protesting company could appeal the SBA determination.
