Dallas Avionics, Inc.

Dallas Avionics, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Dallas, Texas, supplies aircraft electronics, avionics equipment, and specialized radio and communication components to the Department of Defense, federal civilian agencies, and the Coast Guard as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards). The company operates predominantly in full-and-open competition without set-aside designation, though it maintains woman-owned small business (WOSB) status and competes in Total Small Business set-aside categories when present. Dallas Avionics is a for-profit corporation with a named subsidiary, CAL Labs Inc., also designated as a woman-owned small business.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aircraft electronics components, radio systems (particularly TFDM-9000 radio parts and communication adapters), headset adapters for rotary-wing aircraft, avionics equipment repair and overhaul support, and specialized electronic assemblies for military aviation programs. Representative prime work includes a $289.2 thousand FBI Headquarters purchase order for TFDM 9000 radios (awarded September 2024), an $88.9 thousand Air Force definitive contract for Jupiter Avionics low-impedance headset adapters supporting the MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter program (February 2026), a $150.4 thousand Missouri Army National Guard purchase order for TFDM9000 radio bench stock parts (June 2022), and a $63.1 thousand Air Force Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for communication adapters delivered to Malmstrom and Maxwell Air Force Bases (March 2025). Category concentration runs heavily toward NAICS 425710 (Other Electronic Parts and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers, 66 awards) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, 55 awards), with PSC concentration in Radio and Television Communication Equipment Airborne (54 awards) and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (22 awards).

Customer concentration is fragmented across 72 distinct agencies, with the top five customers accounting for 31% of recent award count. The Department of the Army leads by volume (26 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value), but the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration dominates potential value (3 awards, $4.5 million combined potential value), creating tension between frequency and dollars. Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (17 awards, $120 thousand), Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (16 awards, $155 thousand), and Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management (12 awards, $658 thousand) complete the active customer set. Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to eleven in 2025, with only one award completing inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $62 thousand), presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Dallas Avionics supplies aircraft parts and electrical components to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on multi-year Black Hawk helicopter production and CH-53K long-lead items, provides UH-60V program hardware kits and production support to Defense Systems and Solutions, delivers electrical components and antenna assemblies to Sierra Nevada Company on Survivable Airborne Operations Center and Big Safari programs, and supplies avionics parts to Lockheed Martin and AAR Government Services on specialized platforms. Total sub awards number eighteen (7% of recent awards), concentrated on major rotary-wing aircraft production and modification efforts.

Parent vehicle exposure is minimal; Dallas Avionics holds one task order position on the Indefinite Delivery Contract W58RGZ18D0001 (a Department of the Army UH-60V modification vehicle) and scattered appearances on GSA Multiple Award Schedules and Basic Ordering Agreements but does not anchor significant GWAC or government-wide vehicle activity.
