Aircraft Engineering & Installation Services, Inc.

Aircraft Engineering & Installation Services, Inc., doing business as Aircraft Engineering & Installation Service, manufactures aviation electrical components and assemblies for military aircraft sustainment as a prime contractor, operating predominantly under Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Total Small Business set-asides. The Orlando, Florida-based company holds SBA certifications as both a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business through March 2028, and competes across 183 prime awards with no subcontract footprint.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on wiring harnesses, branched wiring assemblies, cable assemblies, annunciators, and panel indicating lights manufactured to military specifications for C-130 Hercules, AC-130 gunship, and MC-130 special operations aircraft. All manufacturing occurs in-house at the Orlando facility with no identified subcontractors. Representative recent awards include a $203,694 SDVOSB set-aside delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in April 2026 for wiring harnesses and branched wiring assemblies; a $249,999 full-and-open purchase order from DLA Aviation in June 2025 for annunciator units; and a $154,664.60 non-set-aside purchase order from Navy Reserve in May 2023 for a Quick Engine Change Kit. The vendor also holds task order awards under a Naval Air Systems Command vehicle, the Build-To-Print Cables Harness Assemblies 2015-2020 contract, for remote operated small arms mount cables supporting the MK49 Mod0 gun weapon system.

Customer concentration is extreme and defense-focused. The top five funding agencies account for 91% of awards by count and 98% of combined potential value. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates the portfolio with 131 awards valued at $11.3 million combined potential value across two primary indefinite delivery contract vehicles: a $1,826,991 SDVOSB multiple-award IDC (SPE4A623D0239) extending through September 2028 and a $1,127,686.65 single-award IDC (SPE4A620DC073) of similar scope. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command anchors the dollar side with a single $45.8 million award (likely an IDIQ or similar), plus six additional orders totaling $27.3 million. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command carries $15 million across two awards. Marine Corps and Army Materiel Command awards are minimal by value.

Aircraft Engineering holds five IDVs with DLA Aviation and one with Naval Air Systems Command. The two primary DLA vehicles (SPE4A623D0239 and SPE4A620DC073) have issued multiple delivery orders and purchase orders in the $13,000 to $116,000 range since 2021, with five task orders per vehicle in the source window. A third DLA vehicle (SPE4A615D6824) shows four task orders worth $466 thousand combined. These vehicles are the engine of the company's recurring revenue and competitive moat within defense aviation logistics.

Activity has remained flat over recent years—three awards in 2022, then eight per year in 2023–2025, dropping to two in the first quarter of 2026. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with $468 thousand combined potential value, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The vendor's total award footprint spans $103.6 million in combined potential value with $60.6 million obligated to date (58% realization). NAICS concentration clusters in electronic component manufacturing (40 awards), wiring device manufacturing (36 awards), and motor vehicle electrical equipment manufacturing (30 awards), reflecting the vendor's core competency in electrical components across military platforms. PSC codes mirror that profile: Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (40 awards), Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (33 awards), and Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures (32 awards). The vendor's contracting history dates to 2009 and reflects a specialized, stable supplier role within military aviation logistics rather than a growth-trajectory prime.
