Alamo Aircraft, LTD.

Alamo Aircraft, LTD., a San Antonio, Texas-based small business, manufactures and supplies aircraft fasteners, hardware, seals, gaskets, and structural components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and small business joint venture structured as a limited liability partnership child entity; its parent corporate structure also operates as Alamo Aircraft Supply Inc. Alamo Aircraft competes entirely full-and-open, holding no set-aside certifications in its current footprint, though it does qualify for and receives Total Small Business set-aside designations on individual DLA orders.

DLA customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for more than 88% of recent awards across five internal divisions: DLA Aviation (9,372 awards, $57.5 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (5,399 awards, $173.7 million), DLA Land and Maritime (2,507 awards, $23.2 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (2,392 awards, $97.2 million), and DLA general (713 awards, $18.2 million). No other federal customer exceeds 2% of the portfolio. The top five DLA divisions collectively represent $369.8 million in combined potential value across 20,670 awards—88% of the vendor's active federal footprint. DLA Troop Support Hardware anchors the dollar value (21% of total portfolio), while DLA Aviation drives order volume by count.

Capability portfolio is granular component supply. Recent representative orders include a $368,400 purchase order for compressor blades awarded April 15, 2026; a $40,425 parts kit for gate valves awarded March 9, 2026; a $38,500.80 total small business set-aside for externally released bolts awarded January 16, 2026 (ultimate completion February 7, 2028); a $36,260 purchase order for immersion thermocouples awarded February 12, 2026; and a $35,325 order for shroud-containing components awarded March 25, 2026. Smaller orders (hundreds to a few thousand dollars) dominate the portfolio by count, covering socket head cap screws, machine bolts, self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, connectors, springs, washers, pins, rivets, and bearings across multiple aircraft and defense applications. Work is performed entirely in San Antonio, Texas.

Alamo Aircraft holds three active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, all awarded in the first quarter of 2026. A $350,000 DLA Aviation IDC for ribbed neck bolts (NSN 5306005501098) runs March 24, 2026 through March 24, 2027 under total small business set-aside; the contract estimates two orders per year with a 47-day delivery window. A $350,000 DLA Aviation IDC for shear bolts (NSN 5306012566840) runs March 13, 2026 through March 13, 2027, also total small business set-aside, with approximately two orders annually and a 69-day delivery window. A $350,000 DLA Land and Maritime IDC for gaskets (NSN 5330014657713) runs April 9, 2026 through April 9, 2027, non-set-aside, with an estimated four orders annually and a 55-day delivery window. These three vehicles carry $350,000 aggregate ceilings. Broader DLA IDCs—SPE5EY17D0525, SPE5EY17D0512, SPM5EY13D0552, SPE5EY14D0519, and SPE5EN14D0009—show 800, 691, 313, 235, and 216 task orders respectively with sub-million combined potential values per vehicle, indicating Alamo Aircraft operates as a recurring supplier under DLA's multi-award indefinite delivery infrastructure but does not dominate any single large vehicle.

Product portfolio concentration centers on fastener and hardware manufacturing. NAICS breakdown shows Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (6,984 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (2,421 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (2,350 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (1,904 awards), and Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (1,600 awards) as the top five categories. PSC alignment matches: Bolts (2,662 awards), Nuts and Washers (2,340 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (2,195 awards), Screws (2,170 awards), and Gas Turbines and Jet Engines / Aircraft Prime Movers and Components (1,448 awards). This framing confirms a commodity-component vendor model rather than systems integration or engineering services.

Activity has remained flat to declining. Award volume dropped from 1,192 in 2022 to 1,004 in 2025, with only 231 awards recorded through mid-April 2026 (annualized trajectory suggests roughly 1,200–1,400 awards for full 2026). Combined potential value across all 23,770 awards since 1980 stands at $1.72 billion, with $205.4 million obligated (12% drawdown), indicating a large portfolio of unexercised option periods and long-tail delivery orders. The recompete cliff shows 67 awards completing within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $852 thousand—relatively low exposure compared to the portfolio base, consistent with the short-term nature of individual purchase orders under broad indefinite delivery vehicles.

The vendor holds a single sub-award: a March 14, 2025 sub-award to Yulista Contract Services LLC for trim induction off-load and support equipment and aircraft tooling and trailers. The sub-award carries no dollar value in the source; Alamo Aircraft's prime footprint is 23,768 awards (100% of active work), with sub-engagement at 2 awards (0.01%). This is a prime-contractor-centric operating model with minimal downstream teaming.
