Aviation Ground Equipment Corp

Aviation Ground Equipment Corp, a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Melville, New York, supplies specialized aviation ground support equipment and electronic components to the Defense Department as a prime contractor on single-award indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders, with 98% of recent awards as prime work and no set-aside posture across its federal footprint.

Aviation Ground Equipment Corp operates as a for-profit manufacturer and distributor headquartered in Melville, with fabrication and fulfillment facilities in Huntington Station, New York, and Franklin, Ohio. The company competes full-and-open—no set-aside categories recur across its award history—winning contracts through open competition against all responsible sources. The vendor is registered in SAM.gov since 2001 and carries the veteran-owned small business designation across its federal profile.

The company's capability portfolio centers on aircraft electronic components and aviation ground support equipment: circuit card assemblies, power supply assemblies and interlocks, aircraft control panels and switches (including emergency stop switches), cable assemblies (115 VA output cables and aircraft input cables), IPC boards, aircraft brake cables, capacitor assemblies, driver boards, filters, gaskets, springs, and miscellaneous electrical hardware. The company also supplies larger equipment such as ground power units and power distribution systems. Representative recent work includes a $85.2 million delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime in October 2024 for power supply assemblies; a $82 million purchase order for 16 units of PC boards (NSN 5999016200260) awarded in May 2025; a $67,000 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in January 2026 for an aircraft IPC board; and a $65.5 million purchase order in June 2025 for 14 units of circuit card assemblies under National Stock Number 5998016332762. The company also serves as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin and L3Harris Technologies, supplying 270 VDC diesel power carts and electrical equipment and components for military aircraft programs.

Customer concentration is extreme and translates directly to DoD dependencies. The top five customers account for 87% of award count and 99% of combined potential value. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates the prime footprint with 1,222 awards carrying $31.5 million in combined potential value—vast majority are small purchase orders and delivery orders under single-award IDCs with $250,000 to $350,000 ceilings. DLA Aviation accounts for 240 awards valued at $3.3 million. A critical outlier is the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Robins Air Force Base, which carries only four awards but anchors $531.5 million in combined potential value—a signal of one or two very large contracts (likely support or sustainment work for a specific weapons platform). Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center brings 57 awards valued at $78.4 million. Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard contributes 31 awards at $15.6 million. The concentration on DLA—especially Land and Maritime's transactional task-order model—means the vendor's revenue footprint depends on velocity of small orders across the Defense Logistics Agency supply network.

Aviation Ground Equipment Corp holds approximately 14 active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000, with performance periods of one to ten years. These IDCs, awarded without set-asides, cover specific aircraft components—aircraft control panels, cable assemblies, power supply assemblies, circuit card assemblies, intake filters, and emergency stop switches—with estimated annual task order volumes of 3 to 12 orders per vehicle. The top five IDVs by task order count are Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE4A721D5647 (20 task orders, $249 thousand), SPE7LX22D0069 (20 task orders, $881 thousand), N6833518D0016 (14 task orders, $10.2 million), SPE7L320D60FY (13 task orders, $249 thousand), and SPE7L420D60FE (12 task orders, $238 thousand). The Air Force contract at Robins Air Force Base likely sits on a larger vehicle; the source does not name that vehicle. Delivery locations span Defense Logistics Agency depots across the continental and outside-continental United States.

Award activity shows contraction. The company received 271 awards in 2022, 242 in 2023, declining to 150 in 2024 and 131 in 2025, with only four awards recorded in 2026 (through mid-July). Combined potential value across the full award portfolio totals $668.9 million, but only $157.8 million (24%) has been obligated, indicating many task orders remain unfilled or are standing-room-only vehicles. Six awards representing $27.6 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next 24 months and face recompete risk or task-order discontinuation.

The subcontractor footprint is narrow. Aviation Ground Equipment Corp performs as a sub to Lockheed Martin Corporation on work related to 270 VDC diesel power carts (awards spanning November 2024 through February 2025, with incremental funding modifications) and to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. on Big Safari aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment and electrical equipment and component manufacturing work (awards in September 2024 and April 2025). These relationships suggest the vendor supplies specialized power generation and electrical components embedded in larger Lockheed Martin and L3Harris platform-sustainment or aircraft-support contracts.

Top procurement categories by NAICS align with the company's capability framing: All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (250 awards); Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (203 awards); Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (162 awards); Other Building Material Dealers (157 awards); and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (132 awards). Top PSC codes are Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (425 awards); Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware (294 awards); Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components (172 awards); Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (97 awards); and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (50 awards). The company manufactures and distributes rather than integrates; it is a component supplier, not a systems contractor.
