Aeromax Industries, Inc.

Aeromax Industries, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of aircraft parts and components headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, supplies specialized aviation hardware and assemblies to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 516 of 523 total awards (99%), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, though approximately 40% of its recent task orders carry small business set-aside designations at the individual order level. The company operates through a corporate structure that includes three named subsidiaries: The ELY Co., Inc., Magnum Aircraft Repair Services, Inc., and K&S Enterprises, LLC (a self-certified small disadvantaged business).

Aeromax manufactures a concrete capability portfolio centered on aircraft fasteners, structural components, assemblies, and hardware essential to military aircraft maintenance and operational readiness. Representative prime work includes a $75,050 definitive contract (August 2025) for aircraft group covers under a total small business set-aside from DLA Construction and Equipment; a $383,410 purchase order (March 2025) for gaskets from DLA Land and Maritime under a small business set-aside; a $1,999,999.99 single-award indefinite-delivery contract (July 2025) with DLA Aviation for guard boom telescope components for C-130 aircraft, set aside for small business with a 60-unit annual estimate; and delivery orders ranging from several hundred to over $69,000 for items including piston linear actuators, aircraft fairings, coupling tubes, access covers, and specialized assemblies. Work is performed at the contractor's Fort Worth facility.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. DLA Aviation accounts for 341 awards (65% of the total 523) worth $9 million in combined potential value, while DLA Land and Maritime adds 119 awards worth $4.3 million. Together, these two DLA divisions represent 88% of all awards and 97% of potential value. The remaining customer set is minimal: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (21 awards, $353 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (10 awards, $91 thousand), and the Air Force Sustainment Center (5 awards, $29 thousand). This concentration reflects Aeromax's role as a specialized supplier to the defense logistics supply chain rather than a multi-agency contractor.

Aeromax holds six active indefinite-delivery vehicles with DLA divisions, anchoring its recurring business. A January 2026 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime carries a ceiling of $1,330,842.06 through January 2031 for tube couplings and air duct hoses. The $1,999,999.99 DLA Aviation IDC (July 2025 through July 2030) for C-130 guard boom telescope components is a cornerstone vehicle. A July 2025 DLA Land and Maritime IDC for brackets carries a $250,000 ceiling through July 2026. Two earlier DLA Land and Maritime IDCs—one for access covers (March 13, 2025 through March 13, 2026, $250,000 ceiling) and one for the same product (March 11, 2025 through July 7, 2025, $250,000 ceiling)—reflect the fragmented nature of small DLA vehicles. A March 2025 DLA Aviation IDC for fairlead blocks ($250,000 ceiling through March 1, 2030) completes the IDV footprint. These vehicles typically carry 4–12 estimated orders per year with delivery windows of 116–180 days.

Activity has grown sharply: 43 awards in 2022, 90 in 2023, 138 in 2024, and 164 in 2025. The most recent award (May 19, 2026) was a $12,129.67 pan assembly and drain components delivery order. Over the next twenty-four months, 29 awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) face recompete or completion, concentrated in DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime work. Aeromax subcontracts minimally: seven sub-awards (1% of total) flow to V2X Aerospace LLC for F-5 aircraft maintenance work dated between January and October 2025, representing only $797 thousand in combined value and indicating the vendor operates almost entirely as a prime.

Aeromax's capability concentration aligns precisely with its award portfolio. The top NAICS categories are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (181 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (60 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (49 awards). The top PSCs are Airframe Structural Components (121 awards), Bolts (41 awards), and Commercial Hardware (37 awards). The vendor does not compete on GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or federal IT schedules; its footprint is entirely transactional DLA ordering against single-award IDVs established through simplified acquisition procedures. Combined potential value across all 523 awards stands at $13.8 million, with $8.1 million obligated (59% burn rate), indicating consistent order fulfillment against established ceiling vehicles. The company was founded in 2001 and has maintained continuous DLA relationships across aviation and logistics divisions for over two decades.
