Aerocontrolex Group, Inc.

Aerocontrolex Group, Inc., through its Aero Fluid Products Division, manufactures precision aerospace components—primarily hydraulic cartridges, flow control valves, directional slides, relief valves, and related fluid system parts—sold as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Navy, with no set-aside utilization across its federal portfolio. The company is a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, based in Painesville, Ohio, and competes on full-and-open basis across all recent federal awards.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward DLA and Navy supply logistics. The top five agencies by award count account for 73% of recent awards, led by DLA Aviation (159 awards, $14.8 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (150 awards, $11.5 million). By dollar magnitude, the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the portfolio at $20.2 million across 37 awards, followed by DLA Aviation at $14.8 million and DLA Land and Maritime at $11.5 million. The two rankings diverge on dollars: DLA Aviation places many small purchase orders for hydraulic cartridges and valve components, while NAVSUP holds fewer but larger delivery orders for flow control valves and winch assemblies. Over the past five years, award activity has accelerated sharply—from six awards in 2022 to forty-four in 2024—though declining to twenty in 2025 and four year-to-date in 2026.

Aerocontrolex operates across multiple Navy and DLA contracting vehicles. The top parent vehicles are Navy Basic Ordering Agreements F4160881G0022 and F4160882G0020 (twenty task orders each), Navy BOA N0038317GBD01 (eleven task orders, $9.4 million combined potential value), and Navy BOA N0038312G005H (thirteen task orders, $4.7 million). The vendor also held a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation valued at $249,999.99, positioned as sole supplier of hydraulic cartridges through April 2024; recent sourcing suggests that IDC has expired or been replaced by task-order activity under the BOAs and purchase orders. Representative prime work includes a $794,898 delivery order from NAVSUP (awarded July 2022) for flow control valves delivered to Stillwater, Oklahoma; a $425,320 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (July 2025) for thirty-one flow control control valves; and a $186,021 purchase order from DLA Aviation (October 2025) for sleeve and slide components (source-controlled drawing item).

Aerocontrolex's subcontractor footprint is limited (3% of awards by count) but strategically positioned. The vendor supplies hydraulic and pneumatic components to Lockheed Martin on F-16 production and sustainment programs (control assemblies for Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Bahrain F-16 builds; kit filter assemblies for sustaining engineering work); to Sikorsky Aircraft on Black Hawk and Combat Rescue Helicopter airframe production and fuel cell valve components; and to General Electric on F110 engine foreign military sales work. These sub relationships are recent and ongoing, with activity spanning 2023 through early 2025.

The vendor's award portfolio is dominated by NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 214 awards) and industrial valve manufacturing categories (NAICS 332911 and 332912 combined, 141 awards). PSC codes reflect the same profile: Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components (248 awards), Valves Nonpowered (202 awards), and Valves Powered (148 awards). Nearly all awards are purchase orders and delivery orders issued on firm fixed-price terms under full-and-open competition with no set-asides.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only four awards (combined potential value $951 thousand) reach ultimate completion before July 2028. However, the velocity cliff is steep: the source reflects forty-four awards in calendar 2024 but only twenty in 2025 and four through February 2026, signaling either a slowdown in DLA Aviation and NAVSUP procurement, a shift to larger but fewer orders, or a gap in visibility. Combined potential value across all 821 awards stands at $50.2 million, though obligated dollars total $73.5 million—a signal that actual invoicing exceeds reported potential ceilings, typical for task-order and small-purchase-order activity where obligated amounts track execution.
