Beacon Industries, Inc.

Beacon Industries, Inc., doing business as Beacon Technology Co, is a woman-owned, minority-owned (Asian-Pacific American) small business manufacturer based in Newington, Connecticut, that supplies specialized aerospace components, mechanical parts, and research and development services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides; across its recent award footprint, 100 percent of contracts are prime awards with no subcontract activity, and set-aside designations (predominantly total small business) appear across roughly 60 percent of recent task orders and definitive contracts.

Beacon Industries' core capability portfolio centers on precision-manufactured aerospace components for military aircraft and defense logistics: piston seals, turbine ducts, bleed air duct assemblies, aircraft air seals, heat shields, augmentor nozzles, and suspension components such as torsion bars. The company also holds a growing research and development footprint under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Representative examples include a $3.122 million definitive contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center (September 2025) for F100 engine support seals and related components, a $2.699 million definitive contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center (May 2024) for F100-PW-220 turbine ducts, a $1.8 million STTR Phase II contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory (August 2025) for three-dimensional printed magnesium components to strengthen resilient basing for critical Air Force platforms, and a $1.148 million SBIR Phase II contract with the Department of the Army (July 2024) for helicopter expedited refueling operations research. The company also received a $849,092 SBIR Phase II contract from the Shared Services Center (September 2025) for cryoguard PEEK-N seal development and a $374,871 definitive contract with the Office of Naval Research (March 2024) for a flywheel energy storage system event assessment.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Air Force and Defense Logistics Agency programs. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 69 percent of recent awards, led by the Department of the Air Force (108 awards) and the Defense Logistics Agency across its Aviation (30 awards, $9.6 million combined potential value), Land and Maritime (19 awards, $10.5 million combined potential value), and Headquarters/Troop Support divisions (combined). By combined potential value (74 percent coverage), the Air Force Sustainment Center anchors the portfolio with 12 awards valued at $12.3 million, followed by DLA Land and Maritime ($10.5 million across 19 awards) and DLA Aviation ($9.6 million across 30 awards). Beacon Industries serves 18 distinct federal agencies in recent activity, but defense logistics and Air Force sustainment dominate both volume and dollars.

Beacon Industries holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency that underpin most of its task order activity. A $2.993 million single-award IDC with DLA Aviation (awarded January 2026, through January 2031) covers specialized aerospace components; a $2.0 million single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for duct assembly bleed air components (awarded December 2024, through December 2029) has generated one delivery order to date; a $7.368 million multiple-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for torsion bars (awarded October 2024, through October 2029) represents the largest vehicle ceiling; and a $721,640 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for piston seals (awarded September 2022, through September 2027) has funded three delivery orders totaling $179,550 in combined obligations. The top five parent vehicles by task order count include these DLA IDCs plus Air Force Materiel Command definitive contracts (F3460100D0342, F3460100D0326, and F4160896D0181) and a Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support IDC (SP048004D0224), though most vehicles carry three to five task orders of modest individual value.

Award activity has grown sharply in the past three years, from 9 awards in 2022 to 24 in 2025, with 4 awards already issued in 2026 as of the source date (January 29, 2026). Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $10.6 million) represent recompete exposure across DLA Land and Maritime piston seal and torsion bar vehicles and Air Force Sustainment Center sealing and duct components. The company's $51.1 million combined potential value across 297 awards masks significant invoiced obligation activity: combined dollars obligated across all awards total $67.9 million, representing 133 percent of the potential-value ceiling — an indicator of contract modifications and exercised options beyond original pricing.

Beacon Industries is a subsidiary of The Beacon Group Inc., a parent entity that also holds federal contracting authority. The company's category concentration aligns tightly with its capability footprint: Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (NAICS 336412) dominates at 80 awards, followed by research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (19 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (11 awards). By PSC code, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft, and Components (PSC 2910) account for 240 of 297 awards, reflecting the company's anchor role in F-series engine component supply across multiple defense agencies. This narrow specialization in precision aerospace manufacturing for engine and turbine applications, combined with early-stage SBIR and STTR research participation, positions Beacon Industries as a niche supplier within the defense industrial base rather than a broad-based aerospace prime.

Beacon Industries Inc., a woman-owned small business, has been a trusted leader in aerospace manufacturing since 1948. ISO 9001:2015 and NADCAP certified, our 350,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Connecticut produces critical turbine engine components for major OEMs and U.S. government agencies. Specializing in hypersonic and turbo-fan engine parts, as well as aero and industrial turbine applications, we have extensive expertise in manufacturing major rotating engine components, including fan, compressor, and turbine sections, both as individual parts and complex assemblies. Our capabilities include complex 5-axis machining, with a range of size options from 4" to 90" in diameter and weights up to 10,000 lbs. We also leverage cutting-edge technology, including 3D direct metal laser printing in materials like Titanium, Inconel 718, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Copper. With a focus on precision, quality, and innovation, we ensure over 97% of production is performed in-house.
