Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc.

Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc., a Michigan-based subsidiary of Canadian aerospace and defense manufacturer Heroux-Devtek Inc., manufactures precision motion control components and assemblies—ballscrews, electro-mechanical actuators, gearboxes, fasteners, and cable assemblies—for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor. The company competes full-and-open across 787 awards tracked in the source data, with no set-aside designations on any of the prime contracts reviewed; concentration of work reflects its role as a specialized supplier to established defense logistics and sustainment programs rather than participation in small-business or minority-owned vehicle categories.

Beaver Aerospace delivers concrete capability across the complete lifecycle of critical military platforms. Representative prime work includes a $36 million definitive contract from Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex (awarded September 2024) for startup, first article testing, and production of up to 180 flywheel module units; a $2.691 billion electro-mechanical actuator definitive contract (March 2025) supporting multiple platforms; a $1.793 million C-5 landing gear ballscrew assembly repair contract (September 2023); a $1.365 million motor and AC ball screw units contract for Army Contracting Command Warren (April 2025); and a $795 thousand electro-mechanical parts kit for DLA Land and Maritime (June 2025). Work also encompasses repair services for the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile's Fast Rising B-Plug component—a recurring sustainment stream where Beaver holds a $73.2 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with Ogden Air Logistics Complex and has drawn numerous task orders totaling millions annually since at least 2021.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Air Force sustainment and DLA inventory. The top five customers by potential value account for the bulk of revenue: Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex anchors the portfolio at 80 awards valued at $264.8 million (69% of combined potential value across all customers), followed by DLA Aviation (169 awards, $37.2 million), Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (107 awards, $32.7 million), Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (8 awards, $12 million), and general Air Force Materiel Command (18 awards, $10.3 million). Together these five entities account for 92% of combined potential value. By award count, DLA Aviation leads (169 awards) but at lower individual contract values—a characteristic profile for high-velocity parts ordering versus large delivery orders anchored at Ogden. The recompete cliff exposes only 14 awards valued at $9.1 million reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating a stable backlog and limited near-term recompete pressure.

Beaver Aerospace sits on five core parent indefinite delivery vehicles: Air Force FA820620D0001 (27 task orders, $24.2 million), Air Force FA820614D0001 (27 task orders, $8.7 million), Army W911N204D0022 (46 task orders, $256 thousand), DLA SPE7LX16D0027 (15 task orders, $710 thousand), and Navy Basic Ordering Agreement N0016420GWS49 (10 task orders, $1.2 million). These vehicles represent the conduits for the company's sustained task order and purchase order flow across the prime footprint.

On the subcontractor side, Beaver Aerospace performs work under seven major defense primes. Recent subs include Boeing (multiple awards in 2025–2026 for MQ-25 spares, P-8A aircraft long-lead material, and CH-47F procurement), Raytheon (PATRIOT air defense spare parts for Kuwait and Multi-Spectral Targeting System components), Northrop Grumman (Ground Subsystem Support Contract 2.0 and electronic components), and Lockheed Martin (3DELRR radar elevation drive systems and Block-3 radar actuator assemblies). Sub work typically involves delivery of electro-mechanical actuators, fasteners, hydraulic and cable assemblies, and motion control components into prime-led programs with foreign military sales or international partner execution.

Award portfolio diversity spans aircraft landing gear support (C-5, KC-135, CH-47F, P-8A Poseidon), missile and ICBM sustainment (Minuteman III, PATRIOT systems), naval power transmission and gearbox components, and general hardware and fastener provisioning across DLA's inventory. The top five NAICS categories—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (183 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (78 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (64 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (58 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (54 awards)—capture the company's footprint as a component manufacturer rather than systems integrator. Activity has accelerated in recent years, with 38 awards in 2025 compared to 25 in 2022, though the 2026 count (3 awards to date) is not yet representative of a full year. Combined potential value across all 787 awards stands at $386.8 million, with $193.1 million obligated (50% realization rate).
