Crown Aerospace Inc.

Crown Aerospace Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business based in Spring, Texas, supplies precision aerospace and industrial spare parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, competing without set-aside designation across a high-volume, low-dollar portfolio. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor — 325 awards across the past two decades with zero subcontract footprint — and is classified under NAICS 339991 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and related hardware and mechanical power transmission equipment categories.

Crown Aerospace's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customers account for 98 percent of awards, led by DLA Aviation (149 awards, $600 thousand combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (112 awards, $474 thousand combined potential value). DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds the third position by dollar value ($152 thousand across 19 awards), followed by the Air Force Sustainment Center ($105 thousand across 3 awards) and Army Materiel Command TACOM ($86 thousand across 1 award). The concentration by dollar value tracks closely with concentration by award count — both rankings are dominated by DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime — reflecting the company's role as a high-frequency, small-order supplier of inventory components rather than a large-contract prime.

Recent representative work includes a $27.5 thousand DLA Aviation purchase order for an air filter adapter (August 2025), a $38.4 thousand DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment order for interlock harness units (December 2023), a $19 thousand DLA Aviation receptacle turnlock component (August 2024), and a $17.5 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command order for volumetric meters (September 2023). The overwhelming majority of Crown Aerospace's awards carry ceiling values under $5 thousand, with typical components including bearing sleeves, couplings, circuit breaker boxes, valve assemblies, dampers, spur gears, troll balls, and specialized mechanical fasteners. A single outlier award of $38.4 thousand represents the upper range of the company's typical contract profile.

Activity has remained relatively flat at 10–14 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 10 awards in 2026 year-to-date as of July. The company maintains federal contractor registration dating to 2004 and has accumulated $1.6 million in combined potential value across all 325 awards. Place of performance for recent orders spans Spring, Texas and Oak Ridge North, Texas. Crown Aerospace does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs) and is not identified in the source as participating in any parent vehicles; all awards are direct purchase orders from DLA divisions or other customer agencies. No recompete cliff is present — the portfolio consists of transactional purchase orders with short completion windows (typically 30–120 days), generating continuous recompete opportunity rather than concentrated contract expiration risk.
