Davis Aircraft Products Co., Inc.

Davis Aircraft Products Co., Inc., a for-profit aerospace manufacturer based in Bohemia, New York, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) supplying aircraft restraint solutions, mechanical assemblies, and fastening hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal defense customers. The company holds AS9100 certification and competes predominantly full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations characterizing its prime footprint, though it has received scattered Total Small Business set-aside task orders.

Davis Aircraft's capability portfolio centers on production-grade aerospace hardware: aircraft safety belts, cargo tie-down systems, webbing straps, rotor blade restraints, slings, buckles, clamps, mounting plates, and related mechanical assemblies. Representative prime work includes a $13.02 million single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for aircraft cargo tie-down products (awarded August 2024, running through August 2029), from which two delivery orders totaling approximately $5.3 million have been issued; a $1.25 million definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for tie-down and rotary wing blade components supporting the UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter program (awarded January 2024); and a $868.9 million definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for Main Rotor Blades Restraint Sets for the UH-60M Black Hawk (awarded October 2023). Recent smaller task orders include a $2.69 million delivery order from DLA Aviation for aircraft cargo tie-down products (September 2025) and a $378.66 million definitive contract from DLA Aviation for A-10 aircraft cargo tie-down components (September 2023).

Customer concentration is extreme and tightly focused on DLA. The top five funding agencies account for 79% of recent awards by count, led by DLA Aviation (560 awards, $104.6 million combined potential value), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (448 awards, $8.3 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (310 awards, $18.4 million), DLA corporate (180 awards, $49.6 million), and DLA Land and Maritime (168 awards, $8.2 million). When ranked by potential value, the concentration sharpens further: DLA Aviation and DLA corporate together account for $154.2 million of the $312.8 million portfolio. Naval Supply Systems Command and the Naval Air Warfare Center contribute an additional $15.6 million, but the company is fundamentally a DLA-dependent supplier. Activity has grown modestly year over year (57 awards in 2022 to 85 in 2025), with only 25 awards totaling $4.3 million reaching completion in the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Davis Aircraft holds a portfolio of single-award indefinite-delivery contracts across DLA divisions with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $13.02 million. Recent IDCs include a $13.02 million vehicle for aircraft cargo tie-downs (DLA Aviation, August 2024–August 2029), a $350,000 IDC for synchro clamps (DLA Land and Maritime, April 2026–April 2027), a $350,000 IDC for PAD EYE hardware (DLA Land and Maritime, March 2026–March 2027), and a $350,000 IDC for handle/bail components (DLA Land and Maritime, February 2026–February 2027). The company also maintains multiple $250,000 IDCs across DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime for webbing straps, buckles, loop strap fasteners, rubber wedge assemblies, and related components. These vehicles are the backbone of task-order execution; the top parent vehicle in the source (an unrestricted IDC SPE5EY15D0567) has generated 72 task orders worth $109 thousand.

In its subcontractor role, Davis Aircraft performs work for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on CH-53K long-lead items, arm assembly/torque components, and provisioning data across multiple production lots (LRIP Lot 1, Lot 5/6, FRP Lots 7, 9/10), with sub awards dated July 2025 through September 2025. The company also subcontracts to Boeing on CH-47F Block II aircraft components (May 2026). These arrangements position Davis as a lower-tier supplier of restraint and mechanical assembly components to major rotorcraft primes.

Across its prime and sub work, Davis Aircraft's business model is transactional and component-focused: small firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for standardized aerospace hardware, issued repeatedly across a consolidated supplier base that serves DLA's logistics network. The company has no contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, agency IDIQs) and does not appear to compete under federal small business set-asides. Growth is steady but not aggressive, and customer concentration creates both stability (DLA's recurring logistics demand) and vulnerability (dependence on a single agency ecosystem and narrow product category).
