Aerotec Industries

Aerotec Industries Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Burbank, California, supplies precision pneumatic and hydraulic components—primarily solenoid valves, calibrated flow valves, linear direct valves, and hydraulic accumulators—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders placed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Department of the Army. Aerotec competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with 44 of its 62 recent prime awards designated as either Total Small Business or Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides; the remaining 18 awards were full-and-open competitions.

Aerotec's customer footprint is highly concentrated within DLA. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime directorate accounts for 55 of 62 awards (89% of award count) and $1.6 million of the $2 million combined potential value. DLA Aviation places five additional awards ($32 thousand combined potential value), while the Department of the Army's Materiel Command accounts for two awards: a $320 thousand indefinite delivery contract with Army Contracting Command–Detroit Arsenal for linear valve supply through October 2025 and a $120 thousand delivery order under that IDC. This concentration reflects Aerotec's specialization as a qualified supplier of military-grade valve components identified by National Stock Numbers for DLA's defense logistics and maintenance supply chain.

Recent representative work includes a $164,312 firm fixed-price Total Small Business set-aside purchase order awarded by DLA Land and Maritime on November 18, 2025, for 185 solenoid valves; a $79,092 full-and-open purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on July 9, 2024, for 18 hydraulic accumulators; and a $65,772 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on December 16, 2025, for solenoid valves. Work is performed at Aerotec's facility in Burbank, with delivery to DLA Distribution locations including Cherry Point, Depot Hill, and other DoD distribution centers. Individual purchase orders typically range from $3 thousand to $164 thousand; Aerotec holds no subcontract awards in the source data, operates as a 100% prime contractor, and does not sit on government-wide vehicles or BPAs beyond its single Army IDC.

Activity has remained steady at five to ten awards per year over the past five years (2022: 8; 2023: 10; 2024: 5; 2025: 8; 2026: 1 to date). Seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $328 thousand and face recompete. Aerotec's product portfolio aligns tightly with DLA's procurement taxonomy: Industrial Valve Manufacturing is the top NAICS (45 awards), with Powered Valves as the dominant PSC code (32 awards). The company manufactures to military specifications and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business in addition to holding woman-owned small business status, positioning it competitively within DLA's historical small business sourcing strategy for commodity valve and component procurement.
