Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc.

Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc., a division of Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems, Inc. operating under the trade name Curtiss-Wright Integrated Solutions, manufactures advanced electronic systems, components, and subsystems for defense aerospace platforms as a prime contractor (52% of recent awards) and as a major subcontractor to defense primes, with no SBA set-aside designations across its portfolio. The company is a large for-profit manufacturer based in Valencia, California, and a subsidiary of Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc.

Curtiss-Wright's federal customer concentration runs heavily to the Department of the Navy. Naval Air Systems Command dominates the prime footprint with 36 awards totaling $66.7 million in combined potential value, anchored by a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (N0016424DJW70) with a $31.582 million ceiling running through September 2026 for procurement, evaluation, spare parts, and repairs of Airborne Mission Processors supporting the P-8A Poseidon and MQ-4C Triton platforms. Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 32 awards valued at $9.7 million, primarily small purchase orders for smoke detectors, control panels, and electro-pneumatic actuators. The Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and Army Materiel Command Detroit Arsenal together account for $47.7 million across fourteen awards—including a $7.496 million definitive contract for computer subassemblies (NSN 7021-01-682-3571) and a $1.886 million delivery order for 87 electronic component units (NSN 5998-01-692-2080). The Air Force Materiel Command places work through two organizations: the Air Force Sustainment Center and Aeronautical Systems Center, each with 14 and 13 awards respectively. These top five customer entities account for 57% of award count and 92% of combined potential value; Naval Air Systems Command alone represents 47% of the dollar base.

Recent representative prime work includes a $2.650617 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command (October 2024) for Airborne Mission Processor procurement completing June 2026, a $3.759473 million delivery order (September 2024) for AMP procurement, evaluation, and Level 1 repair completing May 2026, and a $1.421230 million delivery order (May 2025) for AMP procurement with FY23 APN-4 funding completing December 2026—all against the core NAVAIR IDIQ. From Army TACOM, a $7.496 million definitive contract (March 2023) supplies 50 computer subassemblies with options for 100 additional units at Norfolk, California. From the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, a $2.417040 million definitive contract (November 2022) procures 135 power supply units (NSN 6130-01-681-8541) with options for 100 more.

Curtiss-Wright's subcontractor position runs substantially deeper than its prime footprint. The company subcontracts heavily to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, where 48 recent sub awards span G/ATOR (Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar) systems engineering, logistics, and cybersecurity; MQ-4C Triton low-rate initial production (LRIP Lot 5) long-lead items and sustainment; RQ-4 Global Hawk repair, sustainment, and contractor logistics support across U.S., Japan, Republic of Korea, and NATO allies; and associated modification kits and software maintenance. Smaller but recurring subcontract flows run to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CH-53K King Stallion combat rescue helicopter long-lead items and provisioning data), Lockheed Martin Corporation (aircraft parts and services), BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. (Bradley A4 follow-on production support), Raytheon Company (CIWS production), and ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture (unmanned aircraft systems engineering and analysis for Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane). Activity trajectory shows steady growth—20 awards in 2022 to 27 in 2025 with 6 awards year-to-date in 2026—though only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1.4 million and posing minimal recompete cliff pressure. Curtiss-Wright holds positions on multiple Army and Air Force basic ordering agreements and Air Force indefinite-delivery contracts, with 13 task orders placed against the Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA853921D0001, 8 against BOA M6785420G0032, and 6 against BOA SPRPA119GCB01. The company's award portfolio concentrates in Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System Manufacturing (29 awards); Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (26 awards); and Aircraft Manufacturing (25 awards), with electrical and electronic assemblies and miscellaneous aircraft accessories dominating the PSC breakdown.
