Aero Space Composites LLC

Aero Space Composites LLC, doing business as Aerospace Composites, manufactures insulation pipe covers, insulating covers, and related thermal-protection components for military aircraft and vehicle maintenance as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (WOSB) based in Stanton, California, structured as a limited liability partnership that competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its active portfolio.

Aerospace Composites operates exclusively as a prime contractor—311 awards across recent activity with zero subcontract work—and maintains a singular customer focus anchored to DLA Aviation. The top three funding agencies account for 95% of award volume: DLA Aviation dominates with 270 awards valued at $9.3 million combined potential value, followed by the broader Defense Logistics Agency with 23 awards at $977 thousand, and the Department of the Air Force with 2 awards. The vendor's capability set is narrow and specialized—all work centers on manufacturing and supplying insulation products identified by national stock numbers in the 8500 and 4600 series (insulation pipe covers, insulating covers, screen assemblies for fans, and related components). Representative recent contracts include a $33,511.80 delivery order from DLA Aviation on March 18, 2026, for cover insulating components under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $31,916 delivery order on July 18, 2025, for insulating covers (NSN 8511505061); and a $60,266.06 delivery order from January 25, 2023, for insulation products. All work is performed in-house at the Stanton facility with no subcontractors noted.

Aerospace Composites holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation with individual ceiling values ranging from $249,999.99 to $516,318.80 and performance periods extending through 2028 and 2031. Two recently awarded IDCs—one with a $349,999.99 ceiling (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded February 5, 2026, through February 4, 2031) and another with a $350,000 ceiling (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded January 27, 2026, through January 26, 2031)—refresh the vendor's contract vehicle portfolio. The five active IDCs collectively support the vendor's historical delivery order flow, which typically ranges from $4,000 to $60,000 per order on a firm fixed-price basis. Category concentration is sharp: 197 awards fall under Aircraft Manufacturing NAICS codes, with 240 awards classified under the Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment PSC, reflecting the insulation-component mission.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—between 11 and 18 awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with 6 awards recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Combined potential value across all 311 awards stands at $12.7 million, with $5.5 million obligated (43% of potential). The vendor faces minimal recompete cliff exposure: only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carries a combined potential value of $34 thousand. The company has maintained a longstanding supplier relationship with DLA Aviation since its System for Award Management registration in 2001, establishing Aerospace Composites as an embedded, specialized source for thermal-protection insulation components within the defense logistics supply chain.
