About the company

Air-Lock, Incorporated, a small business aerospace hardware manufacturer based in Milford, Connecticut, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) delivering high-precision spacesuit components, quick-disconnect couplings, pneumatic valves, and fluid-system fittings to NASA and the Defense Logistics Agency. Air-Lock is a subsidiary of David Clark Company Incorporated, a specialized manufacturer of communication equipment and life support systems serving federal agencies across military and aerospace sectors.

Air-Lock's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward space exploration. NASA Johnson Space Center and NASA Shared Services Center together account for 97% of combined potential value across the vendor's footprint — $35 million and $18.5 million respectively — driven by a $15.4 million single-award IDIQ with Johnson Space Center for spacesuit components and a $14 million single-award IDIQ with Shared Services Center for Orion Crew Survival Systems (OCSS) suit hardware supporting the Artemis lunar exploration program. Delivery orders under the Artemis vehicle have moved rapidly: between May and September 2026, Air-Lock received seven task orders totaling $1.7 million for OCSS suit ancillary hardware, refurbishment work, and connectors across the Human Landing System program. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime and Troop Support divisions place the second-largest volume of awards (235 awards) but at much lower individual values — quick-disconnect couplings, coupling halves, pneumatic valves, webbing straps, and connector caps priced in the low thousands to mid-tens of thousands per order. Recent representative work includes a $401 thousand delivery order for OCSS suit ancillary hardware (Shared Services Center, September 2026), a $860 thousand delivery order for XEMU space suit bearings and components (Johnson Space Center, September 2023), a $573 thousand order for OCSS suit connectors and umbilicals under the Human Landing System program (Johnson Space Center, June 2024), and recurring DLA orders for quick-disconnect components ranging from $1,200 to $115 thousand with total-small-business set-asides applied intermittently.

Activity has remained steady at 13 to 16 awards annually over the past five years, with 481 total awards in the source data and $61.6 million combined potential value. Seven awards totaling $2.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Air-Lock's NAICS footprint centers on fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (159 awards) and hardware manufacturing (81 awards); PSC concentration runs to hose, pipe, tube and fitting fittings (197 awards) and marine lifesaving and diving equipment (69 awards), reflecting the company's role as a specialty fastener and connector supplier to both space and defense logistics programs.

Air-Lock subcontracts to Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International on Extravehicular Space Operations Contract (ESOC) work, providing connectors and relief valves for spaceflight hardware; the source names three sub-awards under Hamilton Sundstrand between February 2024 and July 2025. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements (no set-aside designation on the majority of prime awards), though intermittent total-small-business set-asides appear on DLA supply orders. The parent company, David Clark, holds its own federal contract vehicles and prime awards, positioning Air-Lock as one of several operating units within a broader defense and aerospace contractor family.
