Alamo Aircraft, LTD.

Alamo Aircraft, LTD., a San Antonio, Texas-based small business fastener and aircraft components manufacturer, operates as a prime contractor on the Defense Logistics Agency's multi-award indefinite delivery infrastructure, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories. The vendor structures as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and limited liability partnership; it is a child entity within the Alamo Aircraft Supply Inc. corporate structure.

Alamo Aircraft manufactures and supplies aircraft fasteners, hardware, seals, gaskets, and structural components through high-volume, low-to-mid-dollar purchase orders and recurring delivery orders. Representative capability work includes a $269,700 DLA Aviation purchase order for compressor blades awarded June 11, 2026; a $51,564.52 Total Small Business set-aside for constant-pressure seal plates (NSN 1650002885382) awarded May 20, 2026 for delivery by March 5, 2027; and a $37,837.17 delivery order for guide assembly seal components (21 units, NSN 4920011101430) awarded May 18, 2026. The vendor also holds three active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA—each carrying $350,000 ceilings and running through mid-2027—for waveguide seals with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded July 15, 2026), ribbed neck bolts with DLA Aviation (awarded July 13, 2026), and plain encased seals with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded July 2, 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source dependent. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 88 percent of all awards across its four internal divisions. DLA Aviation leads by award count (9,583 awards, $62.1 million combined potential value), while DLA Troop Support Hardware anchors the portfolio by dollar value (5,399 awards, $173.7 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (2,394 awards, $97.2 million combined potential value). The top five DLA entities cover 88 percent of recent awards. Outside DLA, the Department of the Air Force accounts for 1,224 awards valued at $44 thousand—a negligible tail. The vendor serves 45 distinct federal customer agencies across its lifetime footprint, but this diversity masks profound DLA concentration.

Alamo Aircraft operates across five top parent DLA indefinite delivery contracts placing 2,255 cumulative task orders with $7.5 million combined potential value. The highest-velocity vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE5EY17D0525 (800 task orders, $3.4 million), SPE5EY17D0512 (691 task orders, $2.2 million), and SPM5EY13D0552 (313 task orders, $1.4 million). These are commodity-focused recurring supply vehicles, not dynamic technology contracts.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 1,192 awards in 2022, declining to 1,041 in 2024 and 1,008 in 2025; 2026 shows only 493 awards through July, tracking annualized below 800 and marking a 30 percent contraction. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months carries 69 awards with $980 thousand combined potential value—modest absolute exposure but material in proportion to the recent activity trajectory. Combined potential value across all 24,036 awards sits at $1.73 billion, with only $206.7 million obligated (12 percent), reflecting the vendor's dominance in high-order-count, firm fixed-price commodity supply rather than large-dollar program work.

Capability concentration mirrors customer concentration. The top NAICS categories—Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (7,071 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (2,457 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (2,370 awards)—account for the plurality of work. Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (1,922 awards) and Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (1,613 awards) round out the portfolio. PSC codes track similarly: Bolts (2,693 awards), Nuts and Washers (2,373 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (2,216 awards), and Screws (2,200 awards) dominate. The vendor competes in full-and-open on most orders but qualifies for and regularly receives Total Small Business set-aside designations on individual DLA purchase orders and carries three single-award Total Small Business IDCs. The vendor reported a sub-award to Yulista Contract Services LLC in March 2025 for aircraft tooling and trailers under a trim induction offload and support equipment scope, but sub-engagement is negligible (2 of 24,036 awards, 0.008 percent of the portfolio). Alamo Aircraft is predominantly a prime contractor operating a pure commodity-supply business model to a single customer across a stable, low-innovation product line.
