American Defense Components, LLC

American Defense Components, LLC (ADC), a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Stamps, Arkansas, is a specialized supplier of precision-engineered aviation hardware and defense components to the U.S. Department of Defense. The company, registered in the System for Award Management since August 5, 2007, holds certifications as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Limited Liability Company, with a manufacturing focus on critical aerospace and defense hardware. ADC serves primarily the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions, providing mission-critical spare parts and components essential to military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations across the Department of Defense.

ADC's contract history demonstrates extensive engagement in supplying specialized precision-engineered components across multiple hardware categories. The company has received numerous firm fixed-price purchase orders from DLA Aviation for fasteners, spacers, washers, shims, sleeves, plates, bushings, rings, machine thread plugs, insulators, and related precision parts used in military aircraft maintenance operations. Individual purchase orders have ranged from modest values under $500 to larger awards exceeding $97,000, including a $97,152.51 contract for aileron balance weights and a $83,614.20 award for plain hexagon nuts designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. ADC has also received contracts from DLA Land and Maritime for components including retainer sleeves, protective dust caps, bushings, spacer-sleeves, cover base plates, discs, and shims, with values ranging from approximately $1,300 to over $52,000. Notable awards include contracts for specialized items such as compressing tools ($13,999.77), machine thread plugs with various designations including Total Small Business set-asides ($43,699.84 and $13,999.77), and turbine engine parts kits ($2,496.24 and $8,562.24). The majority of awards carry no set-aside designation, though several contracts have been designated as Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting ADC's status as a small business concern. All work is performed at the company's Stamps, Arkansas manufacturing facility, and completion dates for individual purchase orders have ranged from September 2025 through June 2027, with most contracts completing within three to four months of award.

ADC currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, each valued at $250,000 with performance periods extending through 2030. The first IDV, awarded October 2, 2025, with no set-aside designation and a completion date of October 1, 2030, enables DLA Aviation to issue task orders for on-demand procurement of precision-engineered aviation hardware components including machine thread plugs, insulators, bushings, flat washers, spacers, shims, sleeves, plates, and rings. The second IDV, awarded September 24, 2025, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a completion date of September 23, 2030, provides similar procurement flexibility for the same category of precision-engineered spare parts under small business set-aside restrictions. The third IDV, awarded September 3, 2025, without set-aside designation and extending through September 2, 2030, similarly authorizes task order procurement of mission-critical aviation hardware components including spacers, washers, shims, sleeves, plates, bushings, rings, machine thread plugs, insulators, and flat washers. These three vehicles establish ADC as a cornerstone supplier within DLA Aviation's supply chain, enabling the agency to efficiently procure specialized precision components on an as-needed basis while maintaining cost certainty within the established $250,000 ceiling per contract. The IDV structure demonstrates DLA Aviation's confidence in ADC's manufacturing capabilities, quality standards, and capacity to support the Defense Department's complex logistics and maintenance requirements throughout the five-year performance periods, with the vehicles serving as the framework through which numerous individual purchase orders and delivery orders have been issued.
