Aero-Tel Wire Harness Corp

Aero-Tel Wire Harness Corp, doing business as Arvin's Engineered Solutions, manufactures cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, electrical connectors, power cables, electrical tiedown straps, and related defense-critical electrical and mechanical components as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and veteran-owned small business based in Orlovista, Florida, operating as a Subchapter S corporation and competing predominantly under HUBZone and total small business set-asides across its prime footprint—approximately 40% of recent awards carry set-aside designations, with the remainder awarded under full-and-open competition.

Aero-Tel's federal contracting footprint is dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation branch accounts for 947 awards worth $80.4 million combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime branch holds 254 awards worth $14.9 million. Together, these two DLA divisions represent 96% of Aero-Tel's awards and 95% of its combined potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and the Bureau of Prisons Central Office contribute smaller volumes but material dollar concentration. This customer concentration reflects Aero-Tel's strategic positioning as a specialized supplier of electrical and mechanical components for military aircraft, vehicles, and defense logistics operations.

Aero-Tel holds nine active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency, with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $1.8 million. Recent IDC awards include a $352.7 thousand Total Small Business set-aside for cable assemblies (awarded April 6, 2026, through April 5, 2031); a $350,000 Total Small Business set-aside issued November 19, 2025, through November 18, 2030; a $350,000 Total Small Business set-aside issued October 14, 2025, through October 13, 2030; and a $250,000 HUBZone set-aside issued July 16, 2025, through July 14, 2030. A $1.8 million HUBZone set-aside IDC (awarded October 12, 2023, through October 11, 2028) has generated multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders including a $159.3 thousand cable assembly order (May 2024), a $102.3 thousand cable assembly order (November 2024), and a $99.1 thousand cable assembly order (July 2024). A $925.7 thousand unrestricted IDC for electrical tiedown straps, wiring harnesses, and cable assemblies (awarded November 8, 2023, through November 7, 2028) and a $700.2 thousand Total Small Business set-aside IDC for electrical tiedown straps (awarded September 22, 2023, through September 21, 2028) provide additional procurement vehicles. The largest parent vehicles by task order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7LX22D0078 (133 task orders, $2.2 million combined value) and SPE4A615D0255 (42 task orders, $444 thousand combined value), both supporting DLA Land and Maritime operations.

Activity has declined year over year—from 143 awards in 2023 to 97 in 2024 and 45 in 2025, with only 8 awards recorded in 2026 through mid-April. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. Product category concentration is steep: Other Electronic Component Manufacturing accounts for 627 awards; Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (Communications Equipment) for 343; Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing for 139; and Electronic Connector Manufacturing for 108. By PSC code, Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment dominates with 633 awards, followed by Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies—Communication Equipment (343 awards) and Connectors, Electrical (73 awards). Aero-Tel operates exclusively at its Orlovista, Florida facility, with one secondary performance location identified in Gardner, Massachusetts for electrical tiedown strap work. The company has maintained federal contracting relationships since SAM registration in September 2002, with over 200 total awards documented in the source data and a consistent track record as a reliable supplier of defense logistics support items across DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime branches.
