About the company
Bishop Aviation Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, manufactures and supplies defense aviation parts, maintenance equipment, and specialized hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under full-and-open and total small business set-aside purchase orders and delivery orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its federal footprint.
Bishop Aviation's customer base concentrates heavily within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. The top five customer organizations account for 88% of recent awards, anchored by DLA Aviation (45 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (12 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value), and the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (4 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value). The dollars-per-award distribution is skewed: Detroit Arsenal's comparatively small award count carries the largest potential-value share because of a single $1,097,516.20 indefinite delivery contract for mechanic equipment hardware kits that has generated three delivery orders totaling $829,799.03 (75.6% of the IDC ceiling). DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime dominate the award count but carry smaller individual order values, reflecting transactional purchase-order and small-delivery-order patterns around commodity parts procurement.
Bishop Aviation holds three active indefinite delivery contracts. The $1,097,516.20 IDC with Army Materiel Command (awarded May 12, 2023, completion April 28, 2025) procures mechanic equipment hardware kits (NSN 5340-01-549-7815) and has funded three delivery orders since May 2023, the most recent on August 14, 2024 for $79,699. A $250,000 IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded April 18, 2024, completion April 18, 2025) covers weight assemblies and serves as the underlying vehicle for recent small purchase orders. A $250,000 IDC with DLA Aviation (awarded August 16, 2022, performance through August 15, 2027) supplies lens and light products under total small business set-aside terms. All three are single-award contracts reserved for small business.
Capability work centers on aviation maintenance consumables and specialized components: weight assemblies, chain assemblies, pressure gauges, lens and light products, wing parts kits, and mechanic equipment hardware kits. Representative awards include a $543,608.15 delivery order from Army Contracting Command Warren (May 18, 2023) for 695 mechanic equipment hardware kits; a $231,101.40 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (February 17, 2022) for 30 weight assemblies; and a $131,522.24 purchase order from DLA Aviation (October 27, 2021) for 82 wing parts kits. The top NAICS categories align with manufacturing: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (22 awards), Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing (20 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (14 awards).
Recent activity has declined sharply. Awards per year dropped from 10 in 2022 to 4 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 1 through May 2026. Combined potential value across the 88-award portfolio stands at $5.2 million with $3.2 million obligated (62% drawdown). Two of the three active IDCs reach completion inside the next twenty-four months (Detroit Arsenal IDC on April 28, 2025, and DLA Land and Maritime IDC on April 18, 2025), exposing approximately $1.3 million in potential recompete risk. Bishop Aviation has operated as a federal contractor since at least December 1987 but shows no subcontracting activity and no presence on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency IDIQs; all work flows through single-award or transactional procurement vehicles with DLA and Army Materiel Command.
