The company will provide 32,000 panel fastener inserts at $11.49ea to the Air Force for use in the F-15 fighter jet. The order, contract # SPM5AY-10-D-0102 was placed on December 2 and is to be delivered by June 20, 2011.

At the time of the original solicitation, number SPM5AY10R0014, a complete data package for the associated items did not exist.

It was determined that Fatigue Technology was the only source of supply known to have the capability to provide the required items based on the survey and was awarded a long term contract on August 24, 2010.
