About the company
Capewell Aerial Systems LLC, a small business manufacturer headquartered in South Windsor, Connecticut, supplies specialized aviation combat equipment, aerial delivery systems, parachute connectors, and aircrew survival gear to the Department of Defense and related agencies as a prime contractor on the vast majority of its federal work (93% of recent awards). The company is a subsidiary of Heico Aerospace Corp and competes in full-and-open procurements; recent awards carry no set-aside designations, though some historical work was competed under total small business set-asides.
Capewell's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward logistics and sustainment procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates the footprint with 106 awards valued at $21.1 million combined potential value, followed distantly by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (53 awards, $965 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (33 awards, $8.9 million). A significant dollar concentration sits with the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, which accounts for seven awards but $17.4 million in combined potential value — mostly cargo release parachute assemblies and related delivery systems. These top five customer agencies represent 84% of recent award volume and 96% of combined potential value, indicating tight customer concentration around defense logistics and Army sustainment.
Capewell's award portfolio centers on parachute, aerial delivery, and safety equipment procurement. Representative recent prime work includes a $2.77 million purchase order from DLA Troop Support for 900 emergency descent devices awarded in March 2023; a $1.14 million delivery order from Army TACOM for 203 M-1 cargo release assemblies awarded in April 2023; a $388.998 million purchase order from DLA Aviation for roller pads under total small business set-aside in August 2024; and a $466.489 million delivery order from Army TACOM for 72 M-1 cargo release parachute assemblies awarded August 2024. Most orders are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders for recurring components such as timer delay assemblies, descent devices, and parachute release mechanisms.
Capewell maintains an active posture under multiple DLA Aviation Indefinite Delivery Contracts, with 15 task orders flowing against IDC SPE4A720D0183 ($2.5 million combined potential value), 8 task orders against IDC SPE4A720D5279 ($232 thousand), and smaller volumes against other IDCs. The company also holds a newly established Basic Ordering Agreement with Army Contracting Command Warren for Class IX sustainment-track supplies, awarded April 3, 2026, running through April 1, 2031. Work is performed at the company's South Windsor facility, with typical delivery windows of 30 to 750 days after order and shipments directed to DLA Distribution Centers in Warner Robins, Georgia and Oklahoma. The top NAICS categories are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (97 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (54 awards), with PSC coding dominated by parachutes, aerial delivery, and recovery systems (114 awards) and safety and rescue equipment (52 awards).
Activity volume has held relatively stable over recent years — 19 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 23 in 2024, and 18 in 2025 — with only three awards visible in the first months of 2026. Six awards totaling $1.7 million in combined potential value are completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete. Capewell operates as a prime on the vast majority of its federal work but maintains a modest subcontractor footprint with Lockheed Martin (C-130J spare parts and TOWLINK aircraft support), Atlantic Diving Supply (DRS4500 deployable refill stations and Airman parachute assemblies), and BAE Systems Land & Armaments (flotation collars and related flotation equipment). Obligated dollars across the portfolio total $42 million, representing 75% of the $55.8 million combined potential value.
