BAE Systems Controls Inc.

BAE Systems Controls Inc., a subsidiary of BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., manufactures specialized aviation electronics and electronic components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations. The company is headquartered in Endicott, New York, with a secondary manufacturing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and operates across commercial and defense electronics manufacturing (NAICS 334413 — Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing; PSC 1680 — Automatic Pilot Mechanisms and Airborne Gyro Components, and related codes).

BAE Systems Controls competes directly and predominantly as a prime contractor (81% of recent awards by count), winning firm-fixed-price delivery orders and task orders in full-and-open competition. The vendor's federal footprint spans 1,916 awards with combined potential value of $1.7 billion and obligated dollars of $748.1 million across the past five years. Activity has accelerated sharply — from 50 awards in 2022 to 297 in 2025 — though recent months show flux (37 awards in 2026 year-to-date). The recompete cliff carries $12 million in combined potential value across 59 awards completing within the next twenty-four months.

Customer concentration centers on defense logistics and naval sustainment. The top five customers by award count (Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Sustainment Center, and DLA Land and Maritime) account for 83% of awards. However, the top five by potential value reveal a different leverage point: the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (Air Force Materiel Command) anchors $681.4 million across 64 awards — nearly 40% of the entire vendor's combined potential value — while Naval Air Systems Command holds an additional $117.8 million across 70 awards. Naval Supply Systems Command dominates by volume (647 awards) but carries only $89.9 million, indicating smaller, routine replenishment orders.

BAE Systems Controls holds positions on five major parent vehicles. The Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA110G001Z carries 395 task orders ($65.5 million), the Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038305G008A carries 307 task orders ($36.1 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA852621D0001 supports 233 task orders. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex single-award Hybrid Flight Control Computers IDC — referenced in multiple award descriptions at $368 million — appears to be a dominant vehicle for F-16, F-35, and multi-platform flight control system work. Additional vehicles include BOAs and IDCs with Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and DLA.

BAE Systems Controls' capability portfolio centers on flight control computers, transducers, and circuit card assemblies for military aircraft. Recent representative prime work includes a $1.7 million delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command (March 2025) for 10 Hybrid Flight Control Computer production kits and supporting components; a $744 thousand flight control computer order from Naval Supply Systems Command (March 2025); F-16 flight control stick force transducers from the Ogden Air Logistics Complex valued at $372 thousand (February 2026) and recurring orders in the $300–$440 thousand range; cabin module assemblies ($14.7 thousand, Fort Wayne performance, February 2026); specialized cable assemblies ($88.6 thousand, Fort Wayne, February 2026); and V-22 Osprey flight computers ($14.4 thousand each for two deliveries, January 2026). The company also executes smaller-ticket component manufacturing — electrical plates, toggle switches, push switches, ball bearings, retainers, power supplies, and printed circuit boards — typically in the $5–$85 thousand range per order, with Naval Supply Systems Command and DLA placing high-velocity replenishment calls.

In its subcontractor role (19% of awards), BAE Systems Controls supplies components and assemblies to The Boeing Company under C-17 Globemaster III sustainment contracts, CH-47F Chinook aircraft procurement and support, KC-46 and KC-X tanker programs, F-15EX development, and MQ-25 programs. The vendor also subs to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on B-2 flight control computer microelectronics and P-3 aircraft logistics support, and to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office on V-22 Osprey tiltrotor systems. Boeing represents the dominant prime relationship, with dozens of sub awards across calendar 2025 for material systems, virtual fleet sustainment, and long-lead-time items for legacy and advanced platforms.

BAE Systems Controls maintains a $1.1 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command for CH-47 helicopter computer system upgrades (through February 2029) and a $750 thousand IDC with ACC Warren for Transmission Replenishment System and Transmission Control Box repair services for the Apache attack helicopter (through September 2028). These IDCs anchor Army rotary-wing support beyond the Air Force and Navy dominance in the prime portfolio. The company held no federal grants as prime or recipient in the source data.
