Astro Aircom LLC

Astro Aircom LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, manufactures precision-engineered aircraft spare parts and components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (100% of awards), competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on single-award indefinite delivery contracts.

Astro Aircom operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and for-profit manufacturer specializing in aircraft hardware components critical to military aviation readiness. The company's capability portfolio centers on main gearbox liners, cone hub assemblies, bearing retainer nuts, bushings, sleeves, bearing housings, jack point landing components, spacer rings, connecting links, remote control levers, pulley grooves, fluid restrictors, convex washers, bolt assemblies, cargo fittings, disconnect assemblies, and precision fasteners. Representative recent work includes a $31,624.53 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Aviation for bearing sleeves (awarded September 5, 2025, completion August 13, 2026), a $77,000 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for pulley grooves (awarded July 10, 2025, completion May 6, 2026), and a $22,577.66 delivery order from DLA Aviation for jack point landing components under an existing IDC (awarded July 23, 2025, completion January 30, 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division accounts for 161 of 180 awards (89% by count) and $2.8 million of the $3.6 million combined potential value (78% by dollars). DLA Land and Maritime represents 11 awards and $734 thousand, with remaining exposure at DLA Troop Support Hardware, Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Defense Contract Management Agency totaling less than 1% of dollars. Activity has grown substantially, from 19 awards in 2022 to 35 in 2025, though 2026 shows only five awards to date in the three months since the most recent award (April 10, 2026).

Astro Aircom holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency serving as primary vehicles for task order issuance. The portfolio includes a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded February 20, 2026, completion February 20, 2027), a $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation for general aircraft spare parts (awarded August 21, 2025, completion August 20, 2030), a $249,999.99 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation for main gearbox liners (awarded June 27, 2025, completion June 26, 2030), a $249,999.99 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation for main gearbox liners (awarded July 31, 2024, completion July 29, 2029), and a $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation for bearing retainer nuts (awarded June 18, 2024, completion June 10, 2029). These vehicles collectively anchor approximately $1.5 million in aggregate ceiling value. Most task orders drawn against these IDCs range from $1,800 to $77,000, with delivery orders representing the largest single-order values. The company operates strictly on firm fixed-price delivery, with no subcontractors named across the award portfolio.

Within the next twenty-four months, seven awards carrying combined potential value of $109 thousand face ultimate completion dates and will require recompete action. The vendor's award footprint is narrowly concentrated in ball and roller bearing manufacturing (68 awards), other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (37 awards), and aircraft manufacturing (25 awards), with primary PSC coding in bearings, helicopter rotor blade mechanisms, bushings and spacers, aircraft landing gear components, and nuts and washers. Obligated dollars total $1.5 million against $3.6 million in potential value, reflecting 41% cash-flow-to-ceiling utilization across the portfolio.
