Aerosphere Aviation Services, Inc.

Aerosphere Aviation Services, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Greensboro, North Carolina, supplies nonmetallic aircraft components—gaskets, seals, sealant tapes, adhesive compounds, and related hardware—to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across multiple indefinite-delivery contracts. The company holds SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), expiring August 12, 2028, and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. Aerosphere operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes across both small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with set-aside awards appearing in roughly 40% of its prime footprint; total small business and SDVOSB set-asides characterize recent wins across DLA Troop Support and DLA Land and Maritime.

Aerosphere's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in DLA divisions. The top five customers account for 96% of awards, dominated by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (125 awards, $7.7 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (117 awards, $4.7 million). DLA Troop Support Hardware (62 awards, $1.3 million), DLA Aviation (39 awards, $769 thousand), and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (8 awards, $14 thousand) round out the active set. The two rankings align closely—DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads both volume and dollars—indicating a concentrated relationship anchored in commodity supply. Aerosphere also holds a single award from the U.S. Coast Guard for gasket procurement ($23,000, August 2025).

Aerosphere holds six active indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, the largest being a $1,340,640 single-award IDIQ running through February 2027 with no set-aside designation, awarded in February 2022. This primary vehicle has generated 27 delivery orders (combined potential value $816 thousand) drawing down to nonmetallic seals, gaskets, and related components. Four additional DLA Land and Maritime IDIQs carry $250,000 ceilings each: one awarded May 28, 2025 (total small business set-aside, completion May 28, 2026), one awarded March 6, 2025 (total small business set-aside, completion March 6, 2026), one awarded November 25, 2024 (total small business set-aside, completion November 25, 2025), and one awarded September 15, 2023 (total small business set-aside, completion September 14, 2024). A sixth $350,000 single-award IDIQ was awarded March 4, 2026 (total small business set-aside, completion March 4, 2027) for gaskets under DLA Land and Maritime. Task orders under these vehicles reflect firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders in the $2,000 to $97,000 range, with representative examples including a $47,752.13 nonmetallic seal delivery order (December 18, 2025, completion March 9, 2026), a $96,324.17 seal order (July 11, 2025, completion September 29, 2025), a $73,605 sealant-tape purchase order under SDVOSB set-aside (November 13, 2025, completion February 11, 2026), and a $147,000 sealant-tape purchase order (January 13, 2023, completion March 20, 2023).

Activity has remained steady across the past five years—25 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 19 in 2024, and 31 in 2025—with combined potential value of $14.6 million across 364 total awards and $11.5 million in obligations (78% realization rate). All task orders under the primary DLA Land and Maritime IDIQ expire by February 2027; Aerosphere faces the largest recompete exposure on the $1,340,640 vehicle and the four $250,000 IDIQs, representing the core of its revenue stream. Aerosphere supplies primarily under the Packing and Gasket Materials PSC (158 awards) and Preservative and Sealing Compounds PSC (96 awards), with secondary exposure in Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components (31 awards); NAICS concentration sits in Adhesive Manufacturing (118 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (91 awards), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (79 awards). Aerosphere holds two subcontract positions as a sub to Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC, for adhesive tape seal services on two task orders awarded January 8, 2025 and April 15, 2024, but operates overwhelmingly as a prime (99% of awards).
