Aerospace Manufacturing Corporation

Aerospace Manufacturing Corporation, doing business as Aerospace Manufacturing Inc., manufactures precision aerospace fasteners and hardware for the Defense Logistics Agency as a woman-owned small business prime contractor, with 868 of 869 recent awards (100%) placed as a prime and the remaining single sub-award to L3Harris Technologies for Big Safari hardware manufacturing.

Aerospace Manufacturing is headquartered in Wallington, New Jersey and operates as a for-profit corporation specializing in bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (primary NAICS 32131, 675 awards). The vendor competes in full-and-open space without set-aside reservations on individual purchase orders, though it holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation—one valued at $250,000 through September 2026 for specialized close tolerance bolts and related items, and a second valued at $250,000 through August 2026 for standard machine bolts. Both IDCs are set aside for small businesses. Recent awards cluster heavily in close tolerance screws, machine bolts, shear bolts, socket head cap screws, shoulder bolts, and continuous thread rods supplied to support military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. Representative work includes a $64,669.14 delivery order from DLA Aviation in May 2025 for close tolerance bolts, a $65,038.60 purchase order in November 2024 for shear bolts with completion by April 2025, and a $30,574.44 order in November 2025 for shoulder bolts.

Customer concentration is extreme and almost entirely within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. The top five customers account for 96% of awards by count and 94% by potential value. DLA Aviation dominates the portfolio with 443 awards ($2 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware with 240 awards ($1.8 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment with 92 awards ($510 thousand), DLA proper with 44 awards ($237 thousand), and DLA Land and Maritime with 15 awards ($130 thousand). The vendor has served 17 distinct customer agencies, but DLA components account for the vast majority of work.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor recorded 136 awards in 2022, 70 in 2023, 19 in 2024, 25 in 2025, and 7 through April 2026—a trajectory that reflects either market saturation at the commodity fastener tier or competitive displacement. Eleven awards worth a combined $106 thousand will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. The vendor's federal registration dates to February 2002, and award velocity was stable at high volume through early 2023 before collapsing. The average purchase order ceiling is $6,000, with many awards under $5,000, indicating micro-transaction supply-chain dependency rather than strategic platform work.

Aerospace Manufacturing holds no named teaming relationships beyond the single L3Harris sub-award and operates exclusively as a prime contractor on defense fastener supply. The two parent IDCs (SPE4A621D5AM4 and SPE4A621D5AH5) represent the only significant vehicle positions; task order counts are low (3, 3, 2, 1 respectively across the top vehicles), suggesting limited pipeline leverage. The vendor's competitive posture is transactional procurement for commodity fasteners serving a single customer ecosystem with declining order frequency. Integration or acquisition appeal would center on DLA Aviation's long-standing supplier relationship and small-business certifications rather than capability breadth or geographic diversity.
