Black Bay Aerospace LLC

Black Bay Aerospace LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, supplies specialized aerospace and defense components to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor across 1,140 recent awards. The company operates as a small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned enterprise, competing primarily under small business set-asides and full-and-open designations on DLA single-award and blanket purchase indefinite delivery vehicles.

Black Bay Aerospace manufactures and distributes a concrete portfolio of aerospace and defense consumables and components: fasteners (bolts, screws, nuts, washers), mechanical assemblies (valves, pumps, couplings, adapters), electrical items (solenoids, switches, lamps, transducers), fluid power systems (hoses, cylinders, regulators), structural and hardware components (brackets, gears, plates, frames), and vehicle-related parts (wheels, seats, clutch disks, windows). Recent prime work includes a $796,040 SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for close tolerance bolts (awarded August 2025, completion March 2029), a $345,534 service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside for sensing elements from DLA Aviation (January 2026), and a $1.55 million single-award IDV from DLA Land and Maritime for loudspeakers (September 2024, completion September 2026). The company maintains operational facilities in Highland Beach, Boca Raton, and Chatsworth, California, with delivery to DLA depots and other Defense Department consolidation points.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward DLA. The top five funding agencies account for 99% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Land and Maritime (724 awards, $48.6 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (275 awards, $18 million), with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (105 awards, $5 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (11 awards, $234 thousand), and the US Coast Guard (15 awards, $196 thousand) providing additional volume. DLA Land and Maritime drives both award count and dollar share; the two rankings track tightly, indicating consistent deal sizing across divisions.

Black Bay Aerospace holds sixteen active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, with individual vehicle ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $1.95 million. These IDVs span Land and Maritime, Aviation, Construction and Equipment, and Troop Support divisions and are designated under total small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, or unrestricted set-asides. Delivery orders against these vehicles comprise the bulk of recent activity. Named vehicles include a $1.55 million Land and Maritime IDV for loudspeakers (September 2024), a $1.95 million Land and Maritime contract for LED lamps (March 2024), and multiple $250,000 single-award IDVs for gaskets, adapters, solenoids, seat cushions, and seal replacement kits. Task orders under these vehicles have ranged from under $1,000 to over $100,000.

Activity remains high but moderating: Black Bay Aerospace received 199 awards in 2022, 196 in 2023, 246 in 2024 (peak), 149 in 2025, and 11 through March 2026. Thirty-seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.1 million, representing modest recompete exposure. The company does not appear as a subcontractor in the source material; all awards are prime contracts.

The company's capability footprint is grounded in NAICS codes 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), and 334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing), with PSC codes spanning J019 (Sound and Visual Equipment), 15-P (Airframe Structural Components), 47 (Pipe, Tubing, Hose, and Fittings), and 53 (Hardware). Black Bay Aerospace competes in a mix of set-aside categories—SDVOSB set-asides account for a significant share of awards, alongside total small business set-asides and unrestricted full-and-open competitions—positioning the vendor as an established DLA supply chain partner rather than a specialized niche player. The company's federal contracting footprint began in September 2016 and has grown to establish it as a mission-critical supplier of commoditized aerospace and defense inventory items supporting military logistics and equipment maintenance operations across aviation, maritime, and land vehicle domains.
