Arlington Intl Aviation Products LLC

Arlington Intl Aviation Products LLC, a for-profit limited-liability company subsidiary headquartered in Burleson, Texas, supplies aviation-grade fasteners, rivets, bolts, nuts, washers, tube fittings, and related aerospace hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor competes exclusively outside set-aside categories and operates transactionally across 187 recent federal awards (186 prime, one sub) valued at $1 million in combined potential value, though $1.2 million has already been obligated across the portfolio.

Arlington's customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 163 of 187 awards (87% of all contracts) and $800 thousand of $1 million combined potential value, making DLA Aviation the vendor's overwhelming sole customer. DLA Land and Maritime represents the secondary customer with 20 awards and $199 thousand; all other agencies (Naval Supply Systems Command, Army Construction and Equipment, Troop Support) account for fewer than three awards combined. Representative prime work includes a $42,750 purchase order for self-locking nuts (May 2026), a $38,994 collar pin-rivet order (June 2026), a $33,226.50 blind rivet procurement (June 2026), a $28,720 liquid level gauge rod (February 2026), and a $27 thousand studded turnlock fastener order (February 2026). All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with ultimate completion dates ranging from weeks to eighteen months, typical of DLA Aviation's replenishment cycle for consumable aviation components. Performance is consistently located in Cross Timber, Texas.

The vendor's award portfolio is highly specialized by part type. The top product categories—bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (83 awards) and general hardware manufacturing (66 awards)—account for 149 of 187 awards and substantially all dollars. Within PSC codes, rivets dominate at 96 awards, followed by screws (16), nuts and washers (14), hose and tube fittings (11), and bolts (10). Award volume grew sharply from 28 in 2025 to 159 in 2026, indicating accelerated sourcing from DLA Aviation. However, activity is episodic and transactional; no standing IDIQs, BPAs, or other parent vehicles appear in the portfolio — each award is a discrete purchase order. This posture creates significant recompete exposure: 43 of 187 awards (23% of the prime footprint) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $497 thousand, representing the bulk of Arlington's identifiable pipeline.

The vendor holds a single subcontract as a named sub: a roll-up under Bell Textron Inc. on the Future Vertical Lift FLRAA Capability Set Three program (October 2025), providing unspecified collar components in support of the Army's next-generation assault helicopter development. This sub role sits outside Arlington's core transactional business and appears isolated.

Arlington International Aviation Products, LLC (UEI TD18GL931EE7), the parent entity, is registered as a for-profit limited-liability company based in Arlington, Texas, with subsidiary Arlington Intl Aviation Products LLC (UEI DUVLKDXARNC7) based in Burleson. The corporate structure shows Arlington International as parent and Arlington Intl as child, though both operate under the same brand and address variations; the subsidiary executes the vast majority of DLA transactional work documented here.
