About the company
Bell-Memphis Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Memphis, Tennessee, supplies specialized aviation hardware and aircraft rigging components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders, competing predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements with one recent Total Small Business set-aside award.
Bell-Memphis manufactures wire rope couplings, terminals, swaging sleeves, turnbuckle bodies, rod end connectors, and related cable fittings critical to military aircraft maintenance and operational readiness. The company's capability footprint centers on NAICS 332999 (Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC 5305 (Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain). Representative work includes a $29,656 Total Small Business purchase order from the Department of Defense Aviation awarded in May 2026 for wire rope terminals (completion February 2027); an $8,659 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime in March 2025 for turnbuckle bodies; and a $4,147 delivery order from DLA Aviation in May 2024 for wire rope couplings under an IDC.
Customer concentration is extremely high and narrowly focused. DLA Aviation accounts for 124 of 160 awards (77.5% by count) and $1.8 million of $1.9 million in combined potential value (95% by dollars), according to the award portfolio summary. The remaining customer base is fragmented across other DLA components — DLA Troop Support Hardware (16 awards, $70 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime (3 awards, $11 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (2 awards, $32 thousand) — and one Navy award valued at $7 thousand. This concentration does not reflect a split between volume and value rankings; DLA Aviation dominates both dimensions.
Bell-Memphis sits on five indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling. The largest IDC by task-order count is SPE4A716D5379, which has generated 11 task orders valued at $63 thousand combined. Three additional IDCs (SPE4A619D5682, SPE4A621D5893, and SPE4A618D7804) carry between 3 and 9 task orders each, with combined values ranging from $2 thousand to $12 thousand per vehicle. Award frequency has declined sharply in recent years — ten awards in 2023, seven in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — though the trend reflects DLA Aviation's shift to episodic small-dollar orders from multiple delivery orders rather than growth or contraction of the underlying relationship. Combined potential value across all 160 awards stands at $1.9 million, with $1.1 million obligated (58% realization rate). Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months, representing $30 thousand in recompete exposure and indicating minimal near-term contract churn.
Bell-Memphis operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source reports zero subcontract awards. The company has held a federal prime contracting relationship with DLA Aviation spanning more than four decades, with awards dating to 1982, establishing it as an established supplier of niche aviation rigging components to the defense logistics and supply chain enterprise rather than a growth-stage or emerging vendor.
