About Bruce Aerospace Inc.
Bruce Aerospace Inc., a Carson City, Nevada-based aerospace components manufacturer and wholly owned subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., manufactures aircraft lighting systems and electrical components for defense applications as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, competing exclusively on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis across multiple Defense Logistics Agency divisions.
Bruce Aerospace operates entirely as a prime contractor—all 527 awards in the source data are prime awards with no subcontract activity. The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily within the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for 87% of recent awards by count. Within DLA, the top three customer divisions are Troop Support Construction and Equipment (190 awards, $249 thousand combined potential value), the general DLA contracting office (135 awards, $67 thousand combined potential value), and Aviation (58 awards, $733 thousand combined potential value). Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command supplies the fourth-largest volume (37 awards, $350 thousand combined potential value), though DLA Aviation dominates by dollar value. The concentration profile is asymmetric: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads by award count, but DLA Aviation and Army Redstone Arsenal lead by combined potential value—a typical pattern for vendors on many small orders versus a smaller number of larger orders.
Bruce Aerospace's procurement footprint is dominated by low-value, highly standardized purchase orders for lighting components and electrical parts. Representative recent awards include a $23.5 thousand DLA Aviation purchase order for lighting fixtures (July 2025), a $19.2 thousand Aviation order for lighting fixtures (December 2025), a $12.3 thousand Aviation lighting fixture order (January 2026), a $9.9 thousand DLA Construction and Equipment lamp ballasts order (March 2026), and a $3.8 thousand Aviation vehicular lighting kit order (April 2026). The vendor's award portfolio breaks down to 269 awards under NAICS 334111 (Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing), 26 awards under NAICS 334112 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Part Manufacturing), and smaller volumes across commercial and residential lighting fixture categories. PSC concentration mirrors this product focus: 263 awards fall under Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures, 72 under Ballasts/Lampholders/Starters, 66 under portable lighting, and 60 under indoor/outdoor fixtures.
Activity has remained modest and flat—one award in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, six in 2025, and three awards through April 2026. Combined potential value across all 527 awards sits at $3.2 million, with obligated dollars at $42.4 million, indicating significant order execution against historical awards. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months totals only one award ($4 thousand combined potential value), reflecting minimal near-term contract-completion risk. Bruce Aerospace places work through indefinite-delivery contracts, with the largest single vehicle being IDC SPM50005D0340, carrying eight task orders worth $537 thousand in combined potential value.
As a subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., a global aerospace components supplier, Bruce Aerospace inherits the parent's manufacturing and supply-chain capabilities but operates independently in federal procurement under its own SAM registration and UEI, pursuing DLA requirements at the component level rather than through prime vehicle consolidation with the parent company.
