About the company
Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned, SBA 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business based in Plano, Texas, manufactures specialized naval aviation components and equipment assemblies as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides, with a subsidiary role providing satellite communications operations support to the Army. The company is a child entity of UIC Government Services LLC, also Alaskan Native Corporation-owned and minority-owned, and competes predominantly under its 8(a) certification across naval defense manufacturing work.
Bowhead's capability portfolio centers on precision manufacturing and assembly of aircraft launch-and-recovery equipment, ADMACS (Automated Deployment and Maintenance Accountability Control System) network infrastructure and support materials, cartridge-activated device housing kits, PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) packaging kits, metalwork components, and specialized equipment inspection and repair services. Representative prime work includes a $2.21 million 8(a) sole-source delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command (April 2024) for M21 cutter cartridge housing kit production and inspection at King George, Virginia, with subcontracting relationships across Xometry, Coronet Machinery, and Chesapeake CNC Manufacturing; a $3.25 million 8(a) sole-source delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center (May 2025) for BOUNDARY DEFENSE NETWORK RACK assembly; and a $507.9 thousand 8(a) sole-source delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center (September 2024) for PAPI packaging kits for the Expeditionary Air Field team, subcontracted to U.S. Foam & Etch, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
Customer concentration is entirely naval: Naval Air Warfare Center (14 awards, $17.2 million combined potential value) and Naval Air Systems Command (3 awards, $25.2 million combined potential value) represent 100% of the award portfolio by count and dollars. Bowhead holds two fundamental IDVs anchoring its naval work — a $22 million Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Systems Command for inert metal parts kit procurement and supply chain management (awarded January 2023, performance through May 2029), under which 2 task orders totaling $3.2 million have been placed, and a $22 million Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment parts (performance through May 2029), supporting 12 task orders worth $8.2 million combined. A $9 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded December 2024, through December 2029) provides flexible procurement for manufacturing and supply chain services across the established component portfolio.
Activity has grown substantially from one award in 2023 to ten in 2025, with only one award (worth $974.5 thousand) visible in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company's subcontractor footprint is limited; beyond its naval prime work, Bowhead serves as a sub to L3Harris Technologies on wideband satellite communications operations and technical support (WSOTS II) for the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, with two labor-support sub-awards placed in June and September 2025. NAICS concentration skews heavily toward Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (14 awards), with secondary work in Precision Turned Product Manufacturing (3 awards) and telecommunications (2 awards).
