American Aviation Parts, Inc.

American Aviation Parts, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned subchapter S corporation based in Doral, Florida, supplies specialized aircraft components and structural parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across purchase orders and occasional definitive contracts. The company competes predominantly in the full-and-open marketplace without set-aside designation, though it carries minority-owned business status that positions it favorably in small business evaluations.

American Aviation Parts' federal footprint centers on supplying discrete aircraft parts — structural supports, fairings, panels, fasteners, valves, sensors, control linkages, and hydraulic components — to sustain military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. Recent representative work includes a $202.5 million purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for arm and plate assembly components (awarded September 25, 2024), a $375 thousand DLA order for structural support items (awarded June 7, 2023), and a $990 thousand definitive contract with DLA for structural support parts carrying a completion date through March 25, 2024. The vendor also delivered aircraft fairings ($138 thousand, April 2024), rib stiffeners and structural components ($144 thousand, September 2023), and duct assemblies ranging from $9.5 thousand to $42.7 thousand across multiple awards. Across the visible portfolio, purchase orders dominate the contract type, with awards ranging from under $100 to over $1 million.

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects the vendor's core business model. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 658 awards (69% of total awards) and $12.7 million in combined potential value (83% of total dollars), making it the sole meaningful customer. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Air Force Sustainment Center contributes 250 awards ($2.4 million, 16% of dollars), reflecting secondary work on E-6B and related platforms through Vertex Aerospace. The Department of the Navy, Army, and smaller Air Force components account for the remaining 42 awards and less than $100 thousand in combined value. There is no material tension between award count and dollar rankings — DLA dominates both dimensions.

The vendor's subcontractor posture is minimal. Across the recent footprint, thirteen sub-awards (1% of total) cluster under Vertex Aerospace LLC, a major aerospace contractor, where American Aviation Parts performs aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing for E-6B contractor logistics support task orders, with activity dating from May 2024 forward. No other significant sub relationships appear in the source data. The vendor's primary role is as a direct DLA prime, not as a teaming sub to major defense integrators.

Activity has remained steady and modest in scale. Awards per year tracked 40 (2022), 52 (2023), 47 (2024), and 68 (2025), reflecting consistent but not accelerating volume — typical for a specialized aircraft parts supplier operating across a large vendor base competing for frequent small-to-mid-sized DLA procurements. The three awards in 2026 reflect only partial-year data as of July 15, 2026. With 950 total awards on record since 2001, American Aviation Parts has built a long tenure in the federal aviation supply chain, though annual deal counts and dollar values suggest a vendor of modest scale rather than a dominant player.

The capability portfolio concentrates in NAICS 338 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, 617 awards) and the PSC category for airframe structural components (414 awards), consistent with the discrete component supply model. Secondary NAICS categories include hardware manufacturing (38 awards) and bolt, nut, screw, and washer manufacturing (36 awards), reflecting the range of fasteners and mechanical assemblies the vendor sources. No contract vehicles, GWACs, or IDIQs appear in the top parent vehicles line; the vendor operates transactionally against direct DLA and Air Force procurements rather than through consolidated buying programs. This positions American Aviation Parts as a direct-award supplier dependent on DLA and Air Force demand signals rather than a vehicle-holder.
