BAE Systems Controls Inc.

BAE Systems Controls Inc., doing business as Commercial Aircraft, manufactures repair services for F108 Power Management Control systems and specialized aviation components including cable assemblies, electronic control systems, circuit card assemblies, and aircraft fixtures for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery vehicles, with no set-aside designations across its federal work.

The company is a for-profit manufacturer and a subsidiary of BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc., headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States including locations in Endicott, New York; Greenlawn, New York; Nashua, New Hampshire; Paterson, New Jersey; and College Park, Georgia. BAE Systems Controls operates entirely in full-and-open competition without participation in any SBA set-aside categories—all recent prime awards carry no set-aside designation.

The company's core federal work centers on two distinct customer bases anchored by large-dollar delivery orders. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates by potential value (373 awards, $1.59 billion combined potential value across the broader BAE Systems Controls footprint as reported in the vendor portfolio), driven by high-value task orders for gyroscope controls, electronic control panels, cable assemblies, and specialized airframe components. The Naval Supply Systems Command (454 awards, $51.9 million combined potential value) issues steady-volume delivery orders for electronic modules, proximity switches, ice detection systems, and aircraft engine accessories. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (463 awards, $84.4 million combined potential value) supplies cable assemblies and related aviation components through a single-award $250,000 IDC running through June 2029. The Air Force Sustainment Center operates a $4.08 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (awarded May 20, 2024, running through May 2029) exclusively for F108 Power Management Control repair services, demonstrating specialized expertise in that platform. Representative recent prime awards include a $1.95 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (October 2025) for aviation components and ECU systems; a $1.51 million delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (June 2024) for gyroscope control assemblies; and a $1.06 million delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (August 2025) for an electronic control panel with completion extending to July 2028.

Activity has grown substantially: 74 awards in 2022, 77 in 2023, 74 in 2024, rising to 127 in 2025, with 14 awards in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor portfolio (spanning all BAE Systems Controls awards across the dataset) reports 80 awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $15.7 million—a moderate recompete exposure. Individual delivery order values span from under $2,000 for fasteners and connectors to over $1.5 billion on major Land and Maritime orders, with typical task orders falling between $10,000 and $500,000. Work is performed firm fixed-price with ultimate completion dates ranging from six months to four-plus years out.

The company functions as a subcontractor to Boeing, General Electric, and L3Harris Technologies on defense aviation programs. Named sub awards include work supporting Boeing's P-8 Poseidon platform (long lead hardware and SIK kits for FMS customer Canada, awarded November 2025) and General Electric engine programs (T408-GE-400 FADEC hardware engineering, F414 FS delivery orders, and megawatt-class electric aircraft propulsion systems support, all awarded mid-2025).

BAE Systems Controls operates three active single-award IDVs under its own name: the $250,000 DLA Aviation contract for cable assemblies through June 2029, the $4.08 million Air Force Sustainment Center F108 Power Management Control repair vehicle through May 2029, and a $391,350 Air Force Sustainment Center IDC for J85-21 T5 amplifier repairs for F-5 E/F aircraft engines (through January 2029 per award history). The parent company holds multiple large government-wide and agency-wide vehicles—the Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA115G002X (692 task orders, $68.6 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA121G001R (274 task orders, $30.8 million combined potential value) account for substantial volume channeled through BAE Systems Controls as a delivery point. Most task orders under these vehicles flow through Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation.

NAICS concentration centers on Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (1,175 awards in the broader portfolio) and Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (428 awards). PSC concentration runs to Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (341 awards), Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies for Communication Equipment (157 awards), and Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware (133 awards). The vendor's footprint shows 99 percent prime contract participation with minimal subcontract exposure (23 sub awards across the portfolio). Customer concentration by award count spans five top agencies at 79 percent coverage; by potential value, five agencies account for 94 percent, with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime anchoring over 77 percent of combined potential value despite lower award volume than Aviation or Naval Supply Systems Command, reflecting the large-scale gyroscope control and electronic panel orders that define the vendor's highest-value work.
