Aviation Devices And Electronic Components, L.L.C.

Aviation Devices And Electronic Components, L.L.C., doing business as Avdec, is a Fort Worth, Texas-based small-business manufacturer and prime contractor supplying specialized aerospace gaskets, sealants, shielding materials, and electronic components to the federal government, with nearly all recent awards (100% of primes) carrying no set-aside designation and the vendor competing full-and-open across diverse federal customers. The company manufactures gaskets, packing materials, sealing devices, and adhesive compounds under primary NAICS 339991 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing) and PSC 5330 (Packing and Gasket Materials), serving Department of Defense logistics, Coast Guard aviation, and Department of Homeland Security customers as the sole or preferred supplier for specialized aerospace consumables that require original-equipment-manufacturer certification and traceability documentation.

The customer concentration reflects massive DLA Land and Maritime dominance—7,316 awards carrying $254.2 million in combined potential value account for approximately 60% of all recent prime awards—with the U.S. Coast Guard the second-largest customer by dollar value at $50.7 million across 611 awards, followed by DLA Troop Support (Hardware and Construction and Equipment categories) and DLA Aviation. The two rankings align closely; DLA Land and Maritime drives both volume and dollars. Avdec holds established indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with DLA across multiple product lines: a $350,000 single-award IDC for shielding gaskets (NSN 5999015966563) with guaranteed minimum annual quantities and estimated seven orders per year; a $350,000 total-small-business single-award IDC for shielding gaskets (NSN 5999015315747) with estimated ten orders per year; and a $350,000 total-small-business single-award IDC for shielding gaskets (NSN 5999015966576) with estimated twelve orders per year. Separately, Avdec holds a $864,646 single-award IDC with the U.S. Coast Guard for HI-TAK polyurethane gaskets, sealants, and gasket kits supporting HC-130J aircraft, covering 14 line items with one-year base plus four optional one-year periods through June 2031. Representative recent work includes a $1.764 million Naval Air Systems Command purchase order for P8A antenna gaskets (awarded April 2026), a $90,580 Coast Guard purchase order for MH-65 helicopter maintenance tape (awarded February 2026, total-small-business set-aside), and a $72,835 Coast Guard delivery order for MH-65 spare parts (awarded February 2026). The vendor fills its pipeline through high-volume, lower-dollar delivery orders against these IDCs—the vendor's own award history shows 12,142 total awards since 2002, with 149 in 2026 year-to-date, averaging sub-$50,000 per order.

Activity has declined across recent years—916 awards in 2022 to 149 in 2026 (first half)—but the source's narrowed time window captures primarily the high-velocity DLA delivery-order activity. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, combined potential value $1.8 million, indicating stable recompete exposure. Avdec operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source lists only one sub-award (to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for CH-53K aircraft parts, February 2026). The vendor's customer base spans 59 distinct agencies, but concentration with DLA Land and Maritime and Coast Guard accounts for approximately 77% of combined potential value. Avdec competes full-and-open (no set-aside designation on the majority of awards), though several of its core DLA IDCs carry total-small-business set-aside designations. Place of performance is primarily Benbrook, Texas (Avdec's facility) with delivery to DLA depots throughout CONUS and overseas consolidation points, and to Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for aircraft-specific components.
