Broadwing Aviation, LLC

Broadwing Aviation, LLC, a Fort Worth, Texas-based aerospace supplier, operates as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) supplying specialized aircraft components and fasteners to the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of Defense. The for-profit limited liability company, registered with SAM.gov since 2007, competes full-and-open without set-aside designations across the vast majority of its work, though occasional awards carry Total Small Business set-asides.

Broadwing's customer concentration is heavily weighted to logistics-focused DoD agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates its portfolio with 1,203 awards valued at $16.4 million combined potential value (81% of all prime awards), followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (533 awards, $1.4 million), DLA Land and Maritime (240 awards, $2.2 million), and the Department of the Air Force (47 awards). This concentration reflects Broadwing's core role as a direct supplier to DLA's inventory system for military aircraft and equipment components. The top two customer rankings diverge slightly on value — DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime anchor dollars, while DLA Troop Support Hardware supplies volume through smaller-value individual line items — but the customer base tracks consistently across both metrics.

Broadwing's capability portfolio centers on aircraft structural components, fasteners, and associated hardware supporting military aviation maintenance and sustainment. Representative prime work includes a $156,618 purchase order from DLA Aviation for annular ball bearings (July 2025), a $223,058.60 order for ball bearings (November 2024), and a $713,576.79 structural fittings contract with DLA Aviation (June 2022). The vendor also supplies landing gear components, hose assemblies, coupling clamps, shear bolts, wing landing flaps, connector adapters, and related parts under both open purchase orders and two indefinite delivery contracts: a $271,320 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for coupling clamps (awarded September 2021, completed August 2023, with two delivery orders totaling $17,448.60 executed), and a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for mounting plates (awarded December 2021, completed December 2022, with approximately $85,000 in delivery orders placed). The top NAICS categories across the portfolio are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (496 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (395 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (343 awards).

Activity has grown substantially. Awards per year increased from 19 in 2022 to 107 in 2025, with six awards recorded in the first quarter of 2026. The combined potential value across all 2,161 awards (prime and sub) sits at $20.1 million, though obligated dollars total $58.2 million — indicating that actual invoiced delivery against these purchase orders significantly exceeds posted ceilings on individual contracts. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure.

In its 8% subcontractor role, Broadwing supplies aircraft components and fasteners to major aerospace primes including Sierra Nevada Company (the dominant prime partner, with dozens of recent sub-awards for SAOC, BIG SAFARI, and AMN aircraft parts), Vertex Aerospace (supporting T45 contractor logistics support and naval maintenance contracts), The Boeing Company (supporting C-17, UH-1N, Apache, F-15, and KC-46 programs), L3Harris Technologies (Big Safari and C-130 technical sustainment work), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (Hi-Lok rivet pins and fasteners for naval work), and AAR Government Services (aircraft maintenance support). The subcontract work mirrors Broadwing's prime focus on parts and materials but expands into final-assembly aircraft production and modification programs at the integrator level.

Performance occurs entirely at Broadwing's Fort Worth, Texas facility. The vendor maintains established subcontractor relationships with major aerospace and defense firms including Boeing, L3Harris Technologies, AAR Government Services, and Vertex Aerospace — the same firms Broadwing serves as a sub, reflecting its position as a specialized supplier within a tiered defense supply chain. Public award descriptions note that Broadwing holds or has held multiple indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA entities across aviation, land and maritime, and troop support categories, underscoring its strategic role in supporting military logistics operations across service branches.
