Aircraft Dynamics Corp

Aircraft Dynamics Corp, a Lima, Ohio-based manufacturer of specialized military maintenance tools and equipment, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts with no socioeconomic set-aside designations. The company competes full-and-open across federal buyers, with 5,041 awards spanning four decades and a combined potential value of $28.8 million, though cumulative obligations of $62.9 million indicate substantial delivery against these orders.

Aircraft Dynamics manufactures electric impact wrenches (24–28 volt DC with 0.5-inch square drive), hand tools, cable assemblies, motor drills, tool kits, and portable toolboxes — principally to support military vehicle maintenance and defense logistics operations. Recent representative work includes a $168,981 purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for electric impact wrenches (awarded March 2025), a $45,000 GSA Federal Acquisition Service order for a 24–28 volt DC electric impact wrench (awarded March 2026 with completion in December 2026), a $1,035.84 DoD Land and Maritime purchase for a manual control lever (awarded November 2025), and a $1,452 DLA Aviation cable assembly award (awarded November 2025). Larger historical awards include a $2.66 million DLA Aviation purchase order for 1,429 electric impact wrenches (January 2022) and an $884,155 DLA Aviation definitive contract for 475 impact wrenches under a Total Small Business set-aside (January 2022), demonstrating the vendor's capability to fulfill high-volume military equipment orders.

Customer concentration reflects deep embedding in Army supply chains. The top five funding agencies account for 94 percent of recent award volume, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command's Tank-Automotive Command Life Cycle Management Command (2,490 awards, $353 thousand combined potential value) and Army-wide (1,663 awards, $236 thousand combined potential value). However, the top-customer ranking by dollar value diverges sharply: DLA Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal leads in potential dollars ($14.5 million from 28 awards), followed by DLA Aviation ($11.4 million from 45 awards), then GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($826 thousand from 417 awards). This divergence signals that Army TACOM drives order frequency but smaller unit values, while DLA vehicles carry larger per-order ceilings.

Aircraft Dynamics holds positions on five GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Federal Acquisition Service, with the vast majority of its task-order volume flowing through BPA GS06FB1531 (2,936 task orders), followed by GS06F5ACRD (225 task orders) and GS06FB9280 (209 task orders). The company also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime for motor drill procurement (awarded August 2021, ceiling $250,000, ultimate completion August 2022). Activity has contracted in recent years — 19 awards in 2022 declining to 1 award in 2024 and 6 in 2025 — though only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($45 thousand potential value). The portfolio is taxonomically concentrated in hand-tool and nonedged, nonpowered hand-tool manufacturing (4,615 awards under PSC codes), with secondary exposure in power-driven hand tools and motor vehicle maintenance equipment. Aircraft Dynamics operates no subcontract relationships in the source data; all 5,041 awards are prime.
