Aero Hardware & Parts Co Inc.

Aero Hardware & Parts Co Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Armonk, New York, supplies aerospace fasteners, adhesives, and specialized hardware components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (100% of awards), operating exclusively in full-and-open competitions without SBA set-aside designations across most of its footprint, though certain adhesive and hardware awards carry Total Small Business set-aside marks.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on the Defense Logistics Agency's operational branches. The top five customers by award count account for 71% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (227 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value), DLA Aviation (155 awards, $2.9 million), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (150 awards, $2.6 million). When ranked by potential value, DLA Aviation leads at $2.9 million across 155 awards, with DLA Troop Support Hardware at $2.6 million and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment at $1.8 million—together representing 95% of the vendor's combined potential value. The Department of the Navy and its subordinate commands (Pacific Fleet Forces, Naval Supply Systems Command) round out the active set at much smaller scale.

Aero Hardware & Parts Co Inc. holds three single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency. A DLA Land and Maritime IDC awarded June 16, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling for retaining nuts and bolts through June 16, 2026. A second DLA Land and Maritime IDC, awarded October 6, 2022, with a $250,000 ceiling, covers retaining floats and expired in October 2023 but supported multiple delivery orders during its term. A third DLA Aviation IDC, awarded April 6, 2022, with a $250,000 ceiling, covers self-locking nuts and expired in April 2023. The top five parent vehicles listed in the portfolio reflect a mix of older expired contracts and active task-order vehicles, with Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L123D60BB showing 11 task orders and SPM5A111D5A66 showing 4 task orders valued at $81,000.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on adhesives and fastening components for defense logistics and aerospace maintenance. Representative recent awards include a $98,520 Total Small Business adhesive purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (October 22, 2024), a $172,628.10 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation for expanding grips (April 8, 2024), a $142,244.28 Total Small Business self-locking nut order from DLA Aviation (April 25, 2024), and multiple fuel cell repair kit, bolt assembly, and hardware orders across DLA branches valued between $1,000 and $51,696. The company maintains an inventory exceeding 100,000 line items and has served the DLA continuously since at least 2002. When classified by product category, adhesive manufacturing dominates at 419 awards, followed by bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing at 169 awards, and hardware manufacturing at 106 awards.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 49 awards in 2022, 29 in 2023, 17 in 2024, 24 in 2025, and only 3 awards through March 2026. The combined potential value across all 885 prime awards stands at $8.3 million, with $7.3 million obligated (88% of potential value). Two of the three DLA IDCs expired in 2023, and the third carries expiration in June 2026—creating recompete exposure in the near term. The source identifies subcontracting relationships with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation in prior periods, though recent awards show Aero Hardware & Parts Co Inc. operating as a direct prime contractor to DLA without major prime relationships in the current footprint.
