Breeze-Eastern LLC

Breeze-Eastern LLC, a subsidiary of TransDigm Group and child entity of Transtechnology Corporation headquartered in Whippany, New Jersey, manufactures and repairs specialized aerospace equipment for rotary-wing military aircraft as a prime contractor across the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies. The company competes in full-and-open procurement, with no small business set-aside designations across its recent federal contract portfolio. Breeze-Eastern operates as a for-profit limited liability company classified under NAICS 336413 (Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code for Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components.

Breeze-Eastern's capability portfolio centers on design, manufacturing, repair, and overhaul of mission-critical equipment for military rotary-wing platforms: hoists, winches, cargo hooks, control boxes, control sticks, pendant assemblies, and related electrical and mechanical systems for platforms including the UH-60M Black Hawk, MH-65 Dolphin, HH-60G Pave Hawk, and H-53E helicopters. Recent representative prime work includes a $4.74 million delivery order from Army Aviation and Missile Command (awarded September 30, 2025) for aircraft-mounted winches supporting the UH-60M Black Hawk program, a $3.16 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (April 25, 2026) for MH-65 hoist assembly repair, and a $5.13 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (April 10, 2024) for hook assembly procurement. The company also holds a $1.21 million Naval Sea Systems Command definitive contract for cartridge actuated thruster devices and a $47,189 sole-source purchase order from NASA (May 21, 2025) for a C160 release hook replacement component.

Customer concentration reflects dual tracks by award count versus dollar value. By award count, the top five customers account for 73% of recent awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (900 awards, $44.4 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency (370 awards, $9.6 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (359 awards, $150.7 million), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (281 awards, $3.8 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (237 awards, $3.2 million). By potential value—capturing 87% of combined dollars—the ranking shifts substantially: Army Aviation and Missile Command dominates at $432.6 million across 174 awards, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command ($150.7 million, 359 awards), Air Force Sustainment Center ($114.9 million, 54 awards), Coast Guard ($72.4 million, 118 awards), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($44.4 million, 900 awards). The divergence reflects Breeze-Eastern's role as a high-volume supplier to DLA for smaller components and a sole-source or limited-competition supplier to the Army for large platform-specific overhaul and sustainment delivery orders.

Breeze-Eastern holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its business model. The Army Aviation and Missile Command $21.33 million IDC (June 17, 2025, through June 30, 2027) covers aircraft-mounted winch procurement and overhaul for the UH-60M Black Hawk; two delivery orders totaling $9.48 million have been issued as of September 2025. The Coast Guard $15.05 million single-award IDC (April 25, 2023, through April 24, 2028) supports MH-65 hoist assembly repairs, with eleven delivery orders issued ranging from $98,000 to $3.16 million. Naval Supply Systems Command's Basic Ordering Agreement for H-53E helicopter components (April 13, 2023, through April 13, 2028, ceiling not specified) has issued six delivery orders totaling approximately $10.48 million. The Air Force Sustainment Center $5.15 million IDC (September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029) covers repair and overhaul of HH-60G rescue hoist systems; two delivery orders totaling $895,550 have been placed. Army Program Executive Office Aviation maintains a $7.94 million single-award IDIQ for UH-60 MEDEVAC winch overhaul and upgrade through March 2027. The company also holds contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command and United States Special Operations Command.

Activity has remained relatively steady from a prime-contract perspective, with 52 awards in 2022 declining to 27 in 2023, then recovering to 34 in 2024 and 33 in 2025; only five awards appear in 2026 to date. Combined potential value across all 2,872 prime awards totals $937.2 million, with $598.5 million obligated (64%). Twenty-one awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $17.5 million and representing near-term recompete exposure.

Breeze-Eastern operates predominantly as a prime contractor: 98% of awards (2,872 of 2,934 total) are prime contracts or IDVs. Sub-award activity remains minimal at 2% (62 sub-awards), concentrated under major defense integrators. Named primes include The Boeing Company (numerous CH-47F and UH-1N helicopter program modifications and long-lead item procurements), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Combat Rescue Helicopter aircraft parts and service, plus UH-60M platform modifications for Thailand), Lockheed Martin Corporation (HIMARS and MLRS hoist components, cable assemblies, and repair services; M270A2 MLRS launcher rocket pod hoists), Defense Systems And Solutions (UH-60M aircraft modifications for Jordan and Australia), Amentum Services (Colombian National Police aviation support), and Atlantic Diving Supply (hoist assemblies). SCI-reported data shows minimal federal service contract activity: zero invoiced revenue in both FY2023 and FY2024, with only 0.1 FTEs captured in FY2024 across five SCI records, indicating Breeze-Eastern's federal revenue is predominantly product-focused (goods, manufacturing, and parts) rather than time-and-materials labor services above the SCI reporting threshold.
