Beta Engineering, Inc.

Beta Engineering, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Arlington, Texas, operates as a prime contractor supplying precision-engineered defense hardware and aircraft components to the Defense Logistics Agency, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company manufactures control tube assemblies, torque tube assemblies, vortex generators, connecting link rigging, structural aircraft plates, fasteners, brackets, bushings, and hydraulic and mechanical power transmission components for military aviation, maritime, and land-based vehicle platforms.

Beta Engineering's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers by award count account for 93 percent of the vendor's 4,192 prime awards: DLA Aviation leads with 1,998 awards valued at $65.5 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime with 1,342 awards and $39.4 million combined potential value. DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA (corporate), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment together represent the remaining customer set. DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime combined account for roughly 93 percent of the vendor's total combined potential value of $112 million across all awards. The concentration is structural: nearly all work flows through single-award indefinite delivery contracts with these two DLA divisions, each typically bearing a $350,000 to $2.5 million ceiling. Representatives of recent work include a $875,160 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025) for 320 connecting link rig units under NSN 3040016189591; a $2.5 million single-award IDIQ from DLA Aviation (January 2026) for C/KC-135 control tube assemblies under a five-year base period through January 2031; and a $150,390 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025) for connecting link rigging components.

The vendor holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, with combined ceiling values spanning the $250,000 to $2.5 million range and performance periods extending through 2030 or 2031. Within the top parent vehicles listed, IDCs SPE4A220D5021, SPE4A722D5098, SPE7LX21D0094, SPE4A722D5078, and SPE4A722D5566 collectively account for 90 task orders and carry combined potential values ranging from $25 thousand to $1.6 million. These vehicles represent the primary ordering mechanism through which DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime distribute work to Beta Engineering on an indefinite-quantity basis.

Category concentration is tight: 1,183 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS), 568 under Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing, and 429 under Hardware Manufacturing. PSC concentration mirrors this scope—947 awards are classified as Airframe Structural Components, 647 as Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment, and 382 as Hardware (Commercial).

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year, with 257 awards in 2022, 272 in 2023, 308 in 2024, and 271 in 2025; year-to-date 2026 shows 124 awards through mid-July. Of the vendor's $112 million in combined potential value, $62.2 million has been obligated (56 percent realization). Within the next twenty-four months, 100 awards valued at $2.9 million will reach ultimate completion and face recompete.

Beta Engineering holds a single subcontract sub-award position: in January 2026, the vendor supplied crypto rack shelves (HNF MT-4841 products) as a sub to General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. on what the source characterizes as a product sale rather than a services engagement. This represents a negligible portion of the vendor's footprint—the prime portfolio accounts for 4,190 of 4,192 total awards.

The vendor's 14 distinct customer agencies are almost entirely confined to DLA divisions. Outside DLA, engagement is minimal and episodic, reflecting Beta Engineering's niche positioning as a specialized supplier of commodity defense hardware rather than a broad-based federal contractor. The company competes full-and-open on some procurements (roughly 40 percent of recent awards carry no set-aside designation) but operates primarily under Total Small Business set-asides on DLA single-award IDICs where the veteran-owned small business status and manufacturing capability drive qualification.
