Aerocontrolex Group, Inc.

Aerocontrolex Group, Inc. Talley Actuators Division, doing business as Aero Fluid Products, manufactures aerospace and defense components — actuators, motors, gears, clutch assemblies, shafts, bearings, and related mechanical hardware — as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense with no set-aside posture. Headquartered in Painesville, Ohio, Aerocontrolex is a for-profit subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated and competes in full-and-open procurements across the defense industrial base, with 1,421 of 1,422 recent awards as prime contracts reflecting established competitive standing.

The vendor's federal work centers on maintenance, repair, and overhaul components for military aircraft platforms including the F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-130 Hercules, and P-8A Poseidon. Concrete representative work includes a $1.45 million delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (September 2025) for cartridge assembly components; a $628,416 delivery order from Ogden Air Logistics Complex (November 2025) for actuator and administrative modification work on F-16 aircraft; and a $1.687 million definitive contract from DLA Aviation (March 2025) for F-15 Eagle cartridge assemblies. Across hundreds of smaller purchase orders and delivery orders, Aerocontrolex supplies individual components such as electromagnetic relays, clutch disks, motor rotors, ram assemblies, and precision fasteners with order values ranging from under $5,000 to over $600,000.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates with 721 awards ($49.9 million combined potential value) representing 51% of all recent awards. DLA Land and Maritime follows with 528 awards ($29 million), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex contributes 31 awards ($23.6 million). Together, these three customers account for approximately 99% of award count and 97% of combined potential value. The two DLA divisions are primarily transactional (individual purchase orders and small delivery orders for discrete components), while Ogden Air Logistics Complex anchors larger F-16 actuator programs including a $12.2 million single-award IDC (though the source data shows a smaller primary $6.27 million DLA Aviation IDC awarded September 2025).

Aerocontrolex holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $6.27 million single-award IDC with DLA Aviation (September 2025 through September 2030) for electro-mechanical and hydraulic actuators and related components; a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (January 2026 through January 2027) for helical compression springs; and a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025 through August 2026) for nonvehicular clutch disks. The largest IDC vehicle (SPRHA422D0001, Air Force Materiel Command, $9.6 million across 13 task orders) and multiple single-award contracts with DLA shape the vendor's position as a standing supplier rather than a competitive new-business vehicle participant. Most work flows through DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime purchase orders and delivery orders issued against indefinite delivery vehicles.

Activity has grown substantially. The vendor recorded 38 awards in 2022, declining to 14 in 2023, then accelerating to 107 in 2024 and 127 in 2025, representing growth momentum driven by increased DLA and Air Force component procurement. Over $97.2 million (77% of combined potential value) has been obligated across the portfolio. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at 44 awards with combined potential value of $6.7 million — relatively modest given the size of the active IDC base but reflecting the recurring, transactional nature of the business. Most awards expire in the 2025–2027 window as delivery orders complete.

The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor; the source contains only one sub-award (a January 2026 flexible engine diagnostic system sub to Defense Systems And Solutions on an Army contract). Aerocontrolex does not subcontract; it performs all work at its Painesville, Ohio facility as a vertically integrated manufacturer.

Capability portfolio concentrates on electro-mechanical components and mechanical hardware. Top NAICS categories are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (418 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (210 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (145 awards). Top PSC categories are Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (416 awards) and Motors, Electrical (221 awards). The vendor's work is narrow by design — specialized, high-reliability aerospace and defense components sold through government supply channels to support fleet readiness across fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms.
