About the company
CAE Inc., a Canadian for-profit corporation headquartered in Lachine, Quebec, delivers pilot training, flight simulation, and defense systems integration to U.S. federal agencies as a prime contractor (76% of recent awards) and subcontractor, competing on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations across commercial aircraft type-rating training, military aircrew systems, and aerospace component manufacturing. The vendor operates through a corporate structure that includes multiple U.S. subsidiaries — CAE USA Inc., CAE USA Mission Solutions Inc., CAE Simuflite Inc., and Flightscape Inc. among them — that field both hardware components and service delivery for defense and civilian aviation programs.
CAE Inc.'s federal customer base concentrates heavily in aviation. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration accounts for the plurality of recent prime awards: FAA Headquarters placed 14 awards worth $14.9 million in combined potential value, while FAA Non-Franchise Acquisition Services placed 4 awards worth $22.6 million combined potential value — together representing 99% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (11 awards, $46 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (8 awards), the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement (6 awards, $133 thousand combined potential value), and the Defense Logistics Agency (5 awards, $60 thousand combined potential value) across multiple sub-agencies. The top five customer agencies account for 62% of recent awards by count but 99% by potential value, reflecting FAA's outsized dollar concentration in the vendor's footprint.
CAE Inc. holds position on multiple FAA IDIQs. The largest is DTFAWA11D00001, against which CAE Inc. has placed 10 task orders worth $14.9 million combined potential value for Boeing 737 MAX 8 pilot training and aircraft systems familiarization. The vendor also operates under SAQMMA16D0136 (5 task orders) and 6973GH19D00016 (2 task orders, $9.3 million combined potential value). Under an FAA single-award indefinite-delivery contract dating to October 2022 with ceiling value of $46,415.00, CAE Inc. delivered Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft systems familiarization training in June 2023 ($8,400 delivery order) and July 2024 ($8,820 delivery order), both performed at CAE's Ottawa, Ontario facility. Recent prime work spans federal regulatory aviation oversight: the Naval Research Office awarded a $24,953.50 firm-fixed-price purchase order in April 2025 for C-12 pilot training in Dothan, Alabama; the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement awarded a $132,600 purchase order in July 2022 for Flight Explorer aircraft-tracking licenses and services in Colombia; the Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded multiple Presagis software maintenance renewal purchase orders totaling over $122,100 in May and July 2026 for software sustainment at Suffolk, Virginia.
CAE Inc.'s award activity has grown from 2 prime awards in 2022 to 10 in 2024, though recent years (2025–2026) show 3 awards each in the source data snapshot. Combined potential value across all 71 awards (prime and sub combined) stands at $39.1 million, with combined obligated dollars at $41.5 million. The vendor's NAICS footprint splits between manufacturing (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 9 awards; Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing, 6 awards; Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing, 5 awards) and professional services (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, 12 awards; Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, 6 awards). Top PSC categories include R&D Defense Other Services (11 awards), Electrical and Electronic Assemblies (10 awards), and Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (9 awards), signaling a mixed product-and-service delivery model centered on defense systems components and pilot training.
In its subcontractor role, CAE Inc. supplies components and services to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems on MQ-9B production and Taiwan foreign military sales logistics support; to Lockheed Martin on aircraft rotary-wing program support detecting systems; to General Dynamics Information Technology on Naval Systems installations; and to AAR Government Services on worldwide aviation support and aircraft-tracking services. CAE Inc. also serves as a prime to its own subsidiaries — notably CAE USA Inc., which receives multiple purchase orders for C-130H aircrew training system components (audio interface boxes, IO expansion cards, DVI-Taxi conversion circuit card assemblies) totaling at least thirteen recorded sub-awards between October 2023 and October 2024. Service Contract Inventory data captures minimal activity: one FY2022 SCI record as a named subcontractor, representing approximately 5.8 federal service-contract FTEs — a strict undercount of the vendor's actual federal delivery footprint, which includes goods, micro-purchases, and classified work excluded from SCI reporting.
