Bard Aerospace LLC

Bard Aerospace LLC, doing business as Bard-As, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business that supplies electronic and optical components—primarily fiber optic cables, connectors, cable assemblies, and computer peripherals—to the Defense Logistics Agency and other Department of Defense components as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts.

Bard Aerospace is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and SDVOSB headquartered in Madison, South Dakota, organized as a limited liability partnership. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint across its 75 recent federal awards. All work is performed at the Madison facility, with deliveries directed to Department of Defense supply depots and distribution centers across Continental and Outside Continental United States locations.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward a single customer agency. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 60 awards (80% of the portfolio) with $2.8 million in combined potential value; the Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment component issued 14 awards totaling $236 thousand; and the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command placed one $78 thousand award. This concentration reflects Bard Aerospace's established role as a direct supplier of fiber optic and electronic connectivity components to defense logistics operations. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: fiber optic cables dominate the award footprint at 35 awards by PSC code, followed by IT and telecom end-user equipment (keyboards, mice, memory devices, computer subassemblies), fiber optic interconnectors, and office devices. Representative recent awards include a $51.9 thousand toner cartridge purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime under SDVOSB set-aside (August 2025), a $78 thousand hot melt connector purchase order from the Army Training and Doctrine Command under Total Small Business set-aside (July 2025), a $28.8 thousand keyboard and mouse equipment order from DLA Construction and Equipment (August 2025), and a $55 thousand computer decoder purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment (February 2026).

Bard Aerospace holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, all single-award vehicles issued under SDVOSB or Total Small Business set-asides. Five newer IDVs awarded between February and April 2026 each carry $350 thousand ceilings; three IDVs from early 2025 each carry $250 thousand ceilings; and one IDV from May 2025 carries a $250 thousand ceiling. The vendor's activity has grown significantly year over year—55 awards in 2025 and 20 awards in 2026 through mid-April—though at relatively modest individual order sizes (median order value appears to fall in the $1,500 to $6,500 range). Only one award falls within the next twenty-four-month recompete window, with $6 thousand in potential value at risk. The vendor competes predominantly under small business set-asides: SDVOSB and Total Small Business designations appear across the majority of awards, though roughly 40 percent of the portfolio carries no explicit set-aside notation and competes full-and-open.
