Bar Fields Inc.

Bar Fields Inc., operating as AB Aerospace, is a woman-owned small business based in Brooklyn, New York that supplies aerospace components and aviation spare parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open firm fixed-price purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively under full-and-open (no set-aside) designations across its prime footprint, despite its woman-owned status.

Bar Fields Inc. delivers highly specialized aerospace hardware and assemblies critical to military aircraft maintenance. The concrete capability portfolio centers on airframe structural components (brackets, panels, ribs, beams, structural supports), fastening systems (bolts, nuts, pins, rivets, washers, hinges), aircraft systems components (cylinder assemblies, rod assemblies, duct assemblies for air conditioning, electrical contacts, switches, indicators), and complex feel-mechanism rudder controls. Representative work includes a $599,960 firm fixed-price purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation in February 2025 for a "FEEL MECHANISM RUDDER" control component, a $692,450 definitive contract in May 2024 for flexible couplings, a $531,230 definitive contract in March 2022 for a feel-mechanism rudder, and recurring purchase orders ranging from a few thousand dollars to nearly $200,000 for components such as wing spar pins ($189,805 in June 2025), cylinder assemblies, and door latches. All work is performed at the vendor's Brooklyn, New York facility or subordinate locations in Linden and Pequannock Township, New Jersey.

Customer concentration is extreme and static. DLA Aviation accounts for 192 of 194 total awards (99% of the portfolio) and $7.4 million of the $7.4 million combined potential value across all awards. The remaining two awards — one each to the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command and DLA Troop Support Hardware — carry no material dollar value. The vendor has served exactly three distinct customer agencies across its award history, with DLA Aviation representing the entire economic footprint.

Bar Fields Inc. holds no seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, IDIQs, or agency-wide BPAs. All work flows through individual firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts issued directly by DLA Aviation, with no parent contract vehicles in the source data.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 43 awards, declined to 34 in 2024, and dropped sharply to 19 in 2025 and 10 in the first quarter of 2026 — a trajectory suggesting either declining customer demand or purchasing consolidation. The vendor's category concentration reflects this transactional profile: the top five NAICS codes account for 149 of 194 awards, led by Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (84 awards) and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (30 awards). No recompete cliff is present in the source; all awards are spot purchases with short performance windows (typically days to weeks) rather than sustained contract vehicles.

In its subcontractor role, Bar Fields Inc. performs maintenance support and bearing assembly work for Dyncorp International LLC on CH-47 and AH-64 helicopter aircraft maintenance and repair programs, delivering supplemental spares and components to support airframe and rotor systems operations.
