About the company
Airbus US Space & Defense Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Airbus Group, operates as a foreign-owned aerospace and defense prime contractor delivering aircraft spare parts, sustainment engineering, encryption devices, and satellite development services to civilian and defense agencies on full-and-open competition without set-aside eligibility. The division is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia and carries no SBA certifications; recent awards span 1,091 prime contracts and grants across 39 distinct federal customers, with 98% delivered as prime and 2% as subcontractor labor under larger primes.
Airbus US Space & Defense's portfolio centers on spare parts procurement and lifecycle support for the HC-144 maritime patrol aircraft, encryption and communications equipment (ECTOCRYP Black secure voice devices), systems engineering for satellite constellations, and advanced defense integration work. Representative prime work includes the $3 billion single-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for HC-144 field service representative and sustainment engineering services running through April 2025, under which 257 task orders carry $30.1 million in combined potential value; a $1.17 million delivery of two ECTOCRYP Black encryption devices and three-year extended warranties to the FBI in June 2023; and a $7.89 million Air Force Other Transaction Agreement for Resilient Space to Air Optical Communication research and development (awarded February 2023, completion November 2025). Recent 2025 and 2026 awards include a $204.88 million Coast Guard delivery order for HC-144 spare parts (February 2025), a $490,958 purchase order for Polycom VTC hardware maintenance from an unnamed civilian agency (December 2025), and a $163,526 ECTOCRYP Black extended warranty renewal from the Bureau of Information Resource Management (September 2026).
Customer concentration is extreme and skewed toward logistics rather than dollars. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 89% of recent awards, led by the U.S. Coast Guard with 542 awards valued at $885.1 million combined potential value. However, potential value concentration diverges sharply: the Army's Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation anchors 25% of combined potential value ($3.26 billion) on just four awards, suggesting multi-year, high-dollar vehicle positions. The Coast Guard's 542 awards deliver only 5% of total potential value, reflecting the nature of numerous small delivery orders under large parent contracts. Air Force (218 awards, $7.9 million), Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (98 awards, $9.2 million), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (85 awards, $1.1 million), and DLA Aviation (30 awards, $3.5 million) round out the top five by volume.
The vendor's vehicle position is anchored to the Coast Guard's HC-144 sustainment ecosystem. Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z03821DL0000001 carries 257 task orders; HSCG2314D2DA005 carries 150 task orders with $38.6 million combined potential value; HSCG3813DL00005 carries 38 task orders ($2.5 million); and Basic Ordering Agreement F0460684D0007 carries 108 task orders. Beyond Coast Guard, Airbus recently won position on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (effective December 2025, through December 2035) with an initial $500 delivery order, and holds a Naval Air Systems Command Other Transaction IDV ($28.02 million ceiling) for the USS/USMC Aerial Logistics Connector Prototype Project (awarded April 2024).
Activity has remained relatively flat by award count (61 awards in 2022 to 65 in 2024), but 10 awards valued at $3.26 billion face completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent significant recompete exposure, driven largely by the Army PEO Aviation awards. SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.21 billion across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2024 invoicing of $327.4 million across 69 FTEs. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates run around $2,230.75/hr, with senior labor pricing through $4,683/hr at the 90th percentile. The vendor engages subcontractors for an average 46% of contractor hours on prime contracts, naming six subcontractors across the portfolio and drawing on Lockheed Martin, CACI Federal, HII Mission Technologies, and Northrop Grumman as prime vehicles for intelligence, communications, and systems integration work.
Airbus US Space & Defense competes predominantly full-and-open across civilian and defense agencies with no set-aside footprint. The corporate structure includes four named subsidiaries—Airbus DS Government Solutions Inc., Airbus DS Military Aircraft Inc., Tesat Government LLC, and Airbus Helicopters Inc.—with capabilities spanning government avionics, military aircraft systems, satellite communications, and rotorcraft platforms. Top NAICS concentrations center on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (427 awards), engineering services (125 awards), and circuit board manufacturing (31 awards). PSC distribution emphasizes miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components (139 awards), airframe structural components (119 awards), and engineering/technical support (114 awards), reflecting the vendor's primary role as an OEM sustainment partner for U.S. government aviation fleets.
