Aviation Repair Technologies LLC

Aviation Repair Technologies LLC, doing business as Art, is an SBA-certified HUBZone small business based in Blytheville, Arkansas that provides aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, and spare parts supply for military and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles. The company is a for-profit limited liability company and self-certified HUBZone joint venture with an FAA and EASA repair station certification, qualifying it to perform depot-level aviation maintenance and component repair work. Art holds a named subsidiary, GSO Aviation Inc., also structured as a for-profit manufacturer.

Art's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, with the top five customers accounting for 94 percent of recent awards. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base dominates by potential value — 11 awards worth $4.61 billion combined — driven primarily by Art's seat on two major KC-46A Tanker Modernization support vehicles: the $3.788 billion KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) IDIQ awarded October 1, 2022, and the $820 million KC-46 Commodities Depot Activation Stand-up IDIQ awarded May 1, 2024. The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard anchors the highest award count with 58 orders (combined potential value $2.4 million) under a single-award $549,480 total small business set-aside IDIQ for MH-65 helicopter radome repairs running through May 2027. The Air Force Sustainment Center holds a third major vehicle, a $470.978 million multiple-award IDIQ for KC-46 depot-level repair and exchange services awarded July 1, 2026, running through June 2031.

Art's concrete capability portfolio centers on aircraft component repair, radome maintenance, spare parts supply, and engineering support for aerial refueling and search-and-rescue platforms. Representative work includes seventeen delivery orders from the Coast Guard for MH-65 radome repair (individual orders ranging from $10,600 to $42,165), multiple delivery orders under the KC-46 Initial Spares vehicle for spare parts to support KC-46A aircraft at Travis and Tinker Air Force Bases (orders valued from $15,016 to $173,661), and KC-46 Commodities Depot Activation Stand-up delivery orders for engineering, tooling, training, and parts supply (orders including $1.225 million, $301,984, and $226,564 firm fixed-price awards issued December 2025 and March 2025 for Tinker and Robins Air Force Base depot activation). Art also performs naval aviation component repair under purchase orders from Naval Supply Systems Command, including $217.5 thousand for forward airstair assembly procurement (July 2025) and $123 thousand for forward airstair repair (November 2025), and procurement of life raft and survival equipment for Air Force training (orders of $22 thousand and $12.5 thousand).

Activity has remained steady at 6 to 12 awards per year across the past five years, with 2025 marking the highest volume at twelve awards. Eight awards totaling $2.1 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Art competes as a full-and-open prime on the two largest vehicles (KC-46 Initial Spares and KC-46 Commodities Depot Activation Stand-up) and operates its Coast Guard MH-65 radome work under a total small business set-aside IDIQ. Across the prime footprint, Art holds no subcontractor relationships; all awards are prime work with the company executing performance at its Blytheville, Arkansas facility or customer sites (principally Travis AFB, Tinker AFB, and Robins AFB). The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its core capability: 57 awards cluster under Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, 20 under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with PSC distribution concentrated in aircraft maintenance, repair, rebuild, and component procurement.
