Aviation Metals Of North Carolina, Inc.

Aviation Metals Of North Carolina, Inc., a small-business Subchapter S corporation based in Charlotte, North Carolina, supplies high-precision metal components—sheet metal, tubing, plate, structural shapes, and specialty alloys—to the U.S. military and Coast Guard as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides on purchase orders. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides across its prime footprint (95% of awards), with a secondary subcontracting role supplying aluminum and stainless steel materials to Systems Application & Technologies Inc. under modification-funded contract CLINs.

Aviation Metals Of North Carolina serves a heavily military and defense-logistics customer base. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of recent awards, led by Naval Air Systems Command (331 awards, $508 thousand combined potential value), Air Force Sustainment Center (187 awards), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (90 awards, $214 thousand), the U.S. Coast Guard (44 awards, $650 thousand combined potential value), and Naval Air Warfare Center (45 awards, $13 thousand). The two rankings diverge meaningfully: the Coast Guard anchors the highest single dollar value despite placing fewer awards than Naval Air Systems Command, which carries a high volume of low-value purchase orders. Recent representative prime work includes a $37,950 small-business set-aside purchase order from the Coast Guard (December 2024) for 0.32 PAA BR127 meta spare parts for MH-65 helicopter maintenance, a $35,550 small-business set-aside purchase order (July 2024) for 4130 tubing for MH-60T helicopters, and a $23,250 small-business set-aside purchase order (September 2025) for specialized tubing for MH-60T aircraft.

Work is performed in Charlotte, North Carolina. The vendor places task orders under five primary IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract F0965001A0063 (182 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract M0014606DN138 (46 task orders, $116 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract M0014605DN092 (43 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract M0014604DN074 (23 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract F0965096A0086 (16 task orders). Activity has declined sharply—38 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 in 2026—with 835 total awards on record and combined potential value of $11 million across the footprint. In its subcontracting role, Aviation Metals Of North Carolina supplies aluminum and stainless steel sheet materials to Systems Application & Technologies Inc. under multiple contract modifications dating from June 2022 through July 2023. The company's NAICS concentration aligns with its material-supply focus: Metal Stamping (184 awards), Aluminum Sheet, Plate, and Foil Manufacturing (139 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (118 awards) dominate the category mix, with PSC codes reflecting commodity metals—nonferrous plate, sheet, and foil (326 awards), structural shapes (91 awards), and tubing (65 awards).
