Aerotek Aviation LLC

Aerotek Aviation LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Oxford, North Carolina, supplies specialized aviation components and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with work concentrated on Sherpa fixed-wing aircraft maintenance and landing gear overhaul for the U.S. Forest Service. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and limited liability company, competes predominantly full-and-open on Defense Logistics Agency purchase orders and holds a single-award, total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract valued at $2.9 million with the National Interagency Fire Center running through January 2028.

Aerotek's capability portfolio centers on landing gear assemblies, brake systems, actuators, shock absorbers, wheel levers, pintle pins, drag braces, and hydraulic components for Sherpa aircraft, along with repair and overhaul services for those systems. Representative work includes a $144,500 delivery order awarded March 2026 for brake assembly components (CH08 and LH049 serial numbers, 85% life remaining) under the firm's NIFC contract; a $114,717 delivery order for nose landing gear assemblies (SN DRG/1723/84) issued April 2025; a $103,950 nose landing gear unit and downlock unit delivery order (SN GS/DRG/6/82) awarded August 2023; and numerous smaller purchase orders from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime for aircraft fasteners, valves, springs, and hardware ranging from $750 to $16,454. Beyond the NIFC primary relationship, the vendor also supplies commodity aviation parts — bolts, washers, springs, valves, seats, and similar items — to DLA Aviation, DLA Land and Maritime, and the Naval Supply Systems Command.

Customer concentration is extreme and recompete-dependent on a single vehicle. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 83 awards worth $5.7 million of the vendor's combined potential value, representing 78% of all dollars. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation placed 117 awards worth $529 thousand, and DLA Land and Maritime placed 76 awards worth $510 thousand; these two DLA organizations together represent 14% of dollars across 193 separate purchase orders. The remaining agencies — DLA Troop Support Hardware, Naval Supply Systems Command, Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region, the Coast Guard, and others — account for less than 8% of combined potential value. The vendor's primary vehicle, IDC 1202SA23T9500 with NIFC, has generated 82 task orders worth $2.8 million since February 2023, but carries a completion date of January 31, 2028 with minimal near-term recompete exposure — only one award in the next twenty-four months carries $31 thousand in potential value.

Activity has fluctuated sharply: four awards in 2022, 38 in 2023, 31 in 2024, 35 in 2025, and four through mid-April 2026 in the source snapshot. The total award count of 364 reflects high transaction volume driven by frequent small purchase orders from DLA components and the steady stream of delivery orders against the NIFC IDC. Combined potential value sits at $7.3 million with $4.4 million (60%) already obligated, indicating substantial cash realization across the footprint. The vendor performs all work at its Oxford, North Carolina facility and has held federal registrations since at least 2010.
