About the company

BAE Systems PLC, a foreign-owned multinational manufacturer, operates as a prime contractor (100% of tracked awards) delivering aircraft components, airframe structural systems, and aviation logistics support to U.S. Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency customers across 5,850 recent federal awards with combined potential value of $120 million and $457.4 million in obligated dollars.

BAE Systems PLC is structured as an international parent organization with 77 named subsidiaries engaged in aerospace manufacturing, defense systems integration, logistics, and specialized materials production. Notable subsidiaries include BAE Systems Science & Technology Inc., Aerosystems International Inc., Boston Ship Repair LLC, and BAE Systems Land Systems (Weapons & Vehicles) LTD, each supporting the parent's federal contracting footprint in aircraft component manufacturing and defense logistics.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing under primary NAICS 33641 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with 5,097 awards in that category, and aircraft structural modification and component supply. The top product and service categories reflect deep focus on airframe structural components (2,819 awards under PSC), aircraft modification work (453 awards), pipe and tubing for aircraft systems (417 awards), and miscellaneous aircraft accessories (341 awards). Representative work includes task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA114G002X (2,920 task orders, $76.2 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRPA109G003X (1,163 task orders, $21.9 million) with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, and work under Navy Supply Systems Command Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038303G007A (880 task orders, $18.6 million).

Customer concentration is acute and defense-focused. The top five customers account for 96% of recent awards, with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation anchoring the footprint at 3,423 awards and $49.9 million combined potential value — nearly 59% of all tracked awards. Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command follows with 528 awards and $53.5 million combined potential value (the highest dollar share despite lower award count), while Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (794 awards, $13.1 million) and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (432 awards, $2.4 million) round out the logistics and supply base. This concentration reflects a vendor whose primary role is parts supplier and logistics provider rather than systems integrator.

Activity has contracted significantly. The vendor received 519 awards in 2018 and 421 in 2019, but only 14 in 2020, 2 in 2022, and 1 in 2024. The most recent award dates to April 2024, making the portfolio substantially stale. This steep decline signals either a shift in contracting approach by the vendor or a consolidation of the award structure into larger-value task orders under the existing parent vehicles.

BAE Systems PLC operates as a sub-awardee on a minimal scale: three sub-awards appear in the source, all under Lockheed Martin Corporation as prime, relating to development kit fees and hardware production between 2022 and 2024. The sub-award footprint is negligible relative to the prime position. The vendor's federal footprint is anchored to five parent vehicles, with Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA114G002X and Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPRPA109G003X and N0038303G007A accounting for the vast majority of task order volume and combined potential value. These vehicles are structured as government-supplied and vendor-supplied arrangements with Defense Logistics Agency and Navy Supply Systems Command, positioning BAE Systems as a standing supplier for recurring aircraft component and logistics demand rather than a competitive bidder on open solicitations.
