Airborne Systems North America Of NJ Inc.

Airborne Systems North America Of NJ Inc., doing business as Airborne Systems Of No, manufactures specialized parachuting equipment, oxygen systems, and aerial delivery technologies for the federal government as a prime contractor competing on full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The company is a for-profit subsidiary of Transdigm Inc., headquartered in Pennsauken, New Jersey, and operates across parachute canopies (DC-7, MT1S, RA-1 variants), deployment systems, oxygen masks and regulators, rigging hardware, and aerial cargo delivery platforms. Airborne Systems competes exclusively on technical merit and proprietary capability rather than through SBA set-asides; all recent awards carry no set-aside designation.

The vendor's customer base spans military, defense, and civilian federal agencies with heavy concentration among defense customers. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by award count at 254 awards ($7.5 million combined potential value), but the Army dominates potential value — the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier holds 91 awards worth $293.2 million combined, and the broader Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command anchors $1.06 billion across 34 awards. United States Special Operations Command places 153 awards ($43 million combined potential value), the Marine Corps 18 awards ($103.5 million), and the Navy 83 awards. The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management drive civilian demand for smokejumper parachute systems. Activity has remained steady — 31 awards in 2022, 23 in 2023, 35 in 2024 — with a recent slowdown in 2025 and 2026, and 7 awards (combined potential value $54.4 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Airborne Systems holds four active indefinite delivery contracts: a $12.9 million single-award IDC with U.S. Special Operations Command for MT-2XX specialized aviation equipment (ultimate completion September 2026), a $1.168 million single-award IDC with the Marine Corps for PS-2 drogue release modifications (through June 2028), a $928,086 single-award IDC with the Forest Service for smokejumper parachutes (through September 2024), and a basic ordering agreement with Army PEO CSCSS for Class IX supplies (through April 2031). Most work flows through the PEO Soldier and Army sustainment IDCs; the five highest-value parent vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts W911QY07D0010 ($1.09 billion across 23 task orders), W911QY16D0051 ($99 million across 58 task orders), W911QY07D0029 ($30.5 million across 19 task orders), W911QY11D0073 ($35.6 million across 19 task orders), and H9224015D0012 ($6.9 million across 38 task orders). Representative recent prime work includes a $51.9 million Marine Corps definitive contract for Multi-Mission Parachute Course training at Eloy, Arizona (awarded July 2022, completion through September 2026), a $1.147 million Marine Corps delivery order for PS-2 drogue release modifications (June 2025), a $361,430 Air Force contract for RAIDER INTRUDER Advanced RAM Air Parachute System and specialized equipment (September 2023), and a $583,354 U.S. Security Assistance Command purchase order for airdrop platforms and accessories under FMS case SP-B-WBL (March 2026).

Airborne Systems subcontracts to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., providing RA-1 parachutes, oxygen supply systems (SOLR3000 booster pumps), emergency egress training equipment, and related specialized parachuting gear. The vendor also supplies oxygen systems and emergency oxygen components to NASA subcontractors supporting the Johnson Space Center engineering and exploration integration directorates. The subcontract footprint is sparse (12 sub-awards, 1% of total) and recent, concentrated in 2024 and 2025, suggesting limited teaming depth and a strong prime-contractor posture. The vendor's award portfolio spans 950 orders classified under PSC Parachutes; Aerial Pick Up, Delivery, Recovery Systems; And Cargo Tie Down Equipment, with secondary concentration in athletic and sporting equipment (44 awards) and textile fabrics (29 awards). Transdigm Group's scale and aerospace manufacturing expertise anchor Airborne Systems' position as the sole responsible source for many specialized parachute and oxygen system procurements across DoD and civilian agencies.
