BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc., doing business as BAE Systems Integrated Defense, supplies F-16 aircraft support equipment, maintenance gear, ground support systems, and repair services to the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit corporate subsidiary headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, with a parent entity at Nashua, New Hampshire, and competes across its federal portfolio without reliance on small-business set-asides.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by a single, strategically critical parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA823221D0004, a $1.2 billion single-award IDC running through March 30, 2031, under which BAE Systems has placed 92 task orders valued at $313.4 million. This IDC funds F-16 support equipment procurement for both U.S. and international military forces through the Foreign Military Sales program. Representative recent delivery orders under this vehicle include a $12.2 million order (June 27, 2024) for aircraft maintenance equipment for Ukraine; a $14.4 million order (December 6, 2023) for F-16 support equipment; and a $10.6 million order (December 15, 2021) for F-16 support equipment for Bulgaria. BAE Systems also holds a smaller single-award indefinite-delivery contract (FA823221D0005) with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex for repair of F-16 Viper Memory Loader Verifier Interface Adapter components, with a $3.7 million ceiling running through July 2030. A second AFMC IDC, FA825118D0008, carries $3.2 million across nine task orders for related aircraft support work.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (primary and subordinate commands) accounts for 99 percent of awards and substantially all dollar value. AFMC proper anchors 94 awards valued at $913.4 million; the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, a subordinate command, accounts for 20 awards valued at $22.6 million. Two secondary customers—the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (one award, $18 thousand) and the Naval Air Warfare Center (two awards)—are immaterial in scale.

BAE Systems' capability portfolio is narrowly focused on F-16 platform sustainment. The vendor manufactures and procures maintenance stands, test sets, ground support equipment, tool kits, fuel system components, hydraulic systems, oxygen and nitrogen generation equipment, aircraft servicing air conditioning units, ammunition handling equipment, and specialized electronic and structural repair components for F-16 operations across allied nations including Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Jordan, Oman, Morocco, and Bahrain. All prime work is firm fixed-price, full-and-open competition against AFMC and subordinate commands; the company does not compete under set-asides.

Award activity has grown substantially: from 18 orders in 2022 to 42 in 2024, with a 2025 count of 27 orders and eight orders in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor faces a significant recompete cliff: 47 awards valued at $212.6 million carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing 23 percent of combined potential value and a material near-term revenue exposure.

BAE Systems subcontracts to a deep network of specialized component and equipment suppliers, including Atap Inc. (fixture assemblies, portable air compressors, ground support components), General Aviation Industries Inc., a woman-owned small business (maintenance platforms, adapter sets, landing gear assemblies), Oshkosh Aerotech LLC (combination military air and power carts, spares kits), Kit Pack Co. Inc., a veteran-owned small business (ammunition handling equipment), and Avibank Manufacturing Inc. (canopy support assemblies). The vendor also subcontracts to larger defense primes: BAE Systems is a sub-award recipient to Lockheed Martin on Bulgaria and Slovakia F-16 production programs, with sub-awards covering engine inlet covers, pilot control covers, and safety flag assemblies dating from 2023 to 2025. Additionally, BAE Systems subcontracts to Amentum Services Inc. on boresight and alignment electronic system transition work.

The parent vendor structure—BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (parent) with the Fort Worth operating subsidiary—reflects BAE Systems PLC's larger aerospace and defense portfolio. The Fort Worth entity's specialization in F-16 platform support, coupled with the single dominant IDC vehicle, makes this vendor a strategic incumbent supplier to Air Force Materiel Command and a low-risk partner for competitors seeking F-16 sustainment subcontracting relationships. The full-and-open competition posture and absence of small-business set-aside work signal a vendor positioned as a large prime in its market segment rather than a small-business set-aside holder.
