Cablex Pty. LTD.

Cablex Pty. LTD., an Australian sole proprietorship based in Hawthorn, Victoria, operates exclusively as a subcontractor to Boeing on U.S. Army Apache helicopter production and sustainment programs, with no prime federal contracts or grants in recent award history. All five recorded sub awards carry Department of the Army as the ultimate customer, routing through Boeing as the sole prime contractor.

Cablex's work centers on aerospace support and spare parts for the Apache aircraft full-rate production program. The vendor's sub-award footprint spans lots 12 through 15 of the Apache production run, with named work including a March 2025 sub on Apache Advanced Procurement Award for Lot 12 full-rate production, a May 2024 sub covering Apache aircraft full-rate production across lots 12–15 for aerospace support, a January 2024 sub documenting Australia-directed change aerospace support, and a September 2023 sub for spares associated with Apache full-rate production. Combined federal sub-award obligations across all five awards total $6.9 million.

Customer concentration is undiversified: Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation accounts for four of five awards, while Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command holds the fifth. The two naming offices represent the same underlying customer — the Army aviation acquisition and sustainment structure — leaving Cablex's customer base functionally monolithic. Activity has been modest and flat, with two sub awards in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025. The vendor holds no position on IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide vehicles; all work flows through Boeing's contracting relationship with the Army. As a foreign-domiciled subcontractor dependent on a single prime and a single end-customer program, Cablex faces concentrated recompete and prime-relationship risk should Apache production levels shift or Boeing's supplier base consolidate.
