Bemsco Inc.

Bemsco Inc., a small business aircraft components manufacturer based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a prime contractor supplying specialized landing gear, actuators, wing fittings, cylinder assemblies, and structural components to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, with 100% of its recent federal award footprint in prime contracts under Total Small Business and full-and-open designations.

Bemsco's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward military aviation logistics. The top five funding agencies account for approximately 70% of awards by count, led by DLA Aviation (200 awards, $103.6 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Aviation and Missile Command (14 awards, $96.3 million combined potential value), with DLA Land and Maritime, DLA general, and the Department of the Air Force rounding out the active set. The dollar concentration is sharper: DLA Aviation and Army Aviation and Missile Command together anchor $199.9 million of the $207.3 million combined potential value across all awards. Recent representative work includes a $26.5 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army Aviation and Missile Command in April 2023 for fixed landing gear (NSN 1620-01-231-1831) supporting the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, a $330,090 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from DLA Aviation in April 2025 for cylinder assemblies, and a $213,185 firm fixed-price delivery order from DLA Aviation in December 2025 for linear actuators, all executed at Bemsco's Salt Lake City facility.

Bemsco's primary capability portfolio is classified under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and centers on manufacture and delivery of airframe structural components, aircraft landing gear components, and hydraulic and pneumatic system components for military rotorcraft platforms, predominantly the UH-60 Black Hawk. The vendor holds seven single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation and the Army Aviation and Missile Command, each valued up to $1.999 million (or up to $29.675 million for the Army landing gear IDC), running through 2027 or 2028. The largest parent vehicle is the Army Aviation and Missile Command IDIQ for landing gear (ceiling $29.675 million, single award, total small business set-aside, ultimate completion April 17, 2026), which carried a $26.5 million delivery order in April 2023. Five additional DLA Aviation IDCs (ceilings of $1.999 million each, awarded between January 2022 and February 2023) cover wing joint fittings, center wing fittings, linear actuators, and cylinder assemblies; task orders against these vehicles range from roughly $26,000 to $330,090. Most of Bemsco's prime IDCs are designated Total Small Business set-asides, though delivery orders placed against some carry no set-aside designation.

Activity has ranged from 10 to 18 awards per year over the past five years, with 16 awards in 2025, 11 in 2024, 18 in 2022, and lower volumes in 2023. Nine awards with combined potential value $27.1 million are due to complete within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete exposure. Category concentration by procurement surface and North American Industry Classification System reflects the vendor's specialization: 230 of 893 awards fall under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts), 36 under Aircraft Manufacturing; by PSC, 385 awards are classified under Airframe Structural Components, 120 under Aircraft Landing Gear Components. Bemsco's obligated-to-potential ratio stands at 71%, with $146.5 million of $207.3 million in combined potential value invoiced to date.

Bemsco subcontracts to large primes in a limited role: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (H-53 helicopter parts and services sub-award, March 2025) and The Boeing Company (purchased outside production on platform sustainment and unmanned undersea vehicle programs, January 2025 and October 2024). Bemsco registered in SAM.gov in November 2001 and operates as a for-profit corporation with no federal vehicle seat, no GWAC, and no placement on government-wide multiple-award schedules; the vendor competes and wins exclusively through direct quote solicitation to DLA and Army contracting offices against existing IDC vehicles or full-and-open RFQs.
