Baron Manufacturing Inc.

Baron Manufacturing Inc., an Oklahoma City-based manufacturer of aviation system components and modification kits, operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the Federal Aviation Administration, delivering specialized hardware for the National Airspace System without pursuing set-aside designations. The company competes on a full-and-open basis across a focused customer base and holds no SBA certifications.

Baron specializes in manufacturing Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) radio station unit kits, ASR-8 radar system modification kits (including RF input redesign and control panel variants), and Communication Remote Maintenance & Monitoring (CRMM) second-level engineering support. The capability footprint is rooted in FAA/PMA-approved aviation equipment and precision electronic components that support air traffic control and surveillance infrastructure. Representative work includes a $6.31 million delivery order from FAA Headquarters for CRMM second-level engineering support running through March 31, 2030; a $3.2 million purchase order from FAA Franchise Acquisition Services for ASR-8 RF input redesign kits awarded in April 2023; and a $910,856 definitive contract for ASR-8 control panel modification kits from FAA Non-Franchise Acquisition Services, awarded in May 2025. Across the portfolio, 27 of 44 awards fall under NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with secondary strength in electronic component repair and maintenance.

Customer concentration is absolute and narrow. FAA accounts for 39 of 44 prime awards (89% of the portfolio by count). The top-four FAA sub-offices—Headquarters, Non-Franchise Acquisition Services, Franchise Acquisition Services, and the Aeronautical Center—capture 95% of combined potential value ($25.6 million of $27.1 million). Dollar concentration tilts toward FAA Headquarters ($13.9 million across 12 awards) and Non-Franchise Acquisition Services ($6.1 million across 7 awards), though Headquarters awards tend to be large-value contracts while Aeronautical Center orders are small routine purchases.

Baron holds five active IDCs with the FAA, anchored by a newly awarded single-award IDC for CRMM Second Level Engineering (DTFAAC26D00030) carrying a $6.25 million ceiling through December 31, 2033. Three additional IDCs—DTFAAC07D00076, 6973GH19D00057, and DTFAAC12D00054—have generated 10 combined task orders totaling $5.4 million. Activity is sparse but stable: one to four awards per year across the past five years, with four awards in 2026 alone (most recent September 21, 2026). Only one award ($399,655 in potential value) faces completion within the next twenty-four months. Obligated dollars stand at $13.5 million against $27.1 million in potential value, representing 50% drawdown and indicating that larger-value contracts remain partially unexecuted. Baron operates no subcontractor relationships; all work is performed directly at its Oklahoma City facility under firm fixed-price terms.
