Dayton Aerospace Inc.

Dayton Aerospace Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOSB) based in Beavercreek, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor (69% of recent awards) delivering program management training, aerospace engineering consulting, and technical services support to the Department of the Air Force and its subordinate commands on both full-and-open and GSA Schedule vehicles. The company competes predominantly without set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though it qualifies as a small business under SDVOSB and veteran-owned designations.

Dayton Aerospace's customer concentration is heavily weighted to Air Force Materiel Command (AFLCMC) subordinate organizations. The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson AFB accounts for 16 awards valued at $3.2 million in combined potential value; the Aeronautical Systems Center holds 10 awards worth $4 million; and the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin AFB anchors six awards carrying $46 billion in combined potential value, driven primarily by the Enterprise-Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) vehicle awarded in March 2025 with a ceiling of $46 billion and performance through September 2031. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service places eight awards worth $25.7 million across the company's GSA Schedule GS10F0025J position, which alone represents 36 task orders totaling $7.3 million.

Dayton Aerospace's capability portfolio centers on program management training development and delivery—particularly for the Prime Acquisition Management Academy—and aerospace systems engineering consulting. Representative prime work includes a $193.6 thousand firm-fixed-price delivery order from AFLCMC Wright-Patterson for PM Academy course delivery (awarded May 2026, completing April 2027), a $330.2 thousand purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command for consulting on the Sentinel Acquisition Incident Review (awarded September 2024), and a $470.1 thousand delivery order for application course development for program management training (awarded September 2021). The company also delivers courses for the Air Force Institute of Technology and provides program brain book and CDR playbook materials for the Aeronautical Systems Center. All work is performed at the company's Beavercreek facility.

The vendor holds two prime IDVs: the single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA860121D0022) valued at $3.76 million with the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center (expiring September 2026, with ten task orders generating $1.8 million in combined potential value), and the four-on-ramp EWAAC multiple-award contract at Eglin AFB with no dollar ceiling specified. Activity has grown from six awards in 2022 to thirteen in 2025, though only two awards (combined potential value $282 thousand) face completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

On the subcontractor side, Dayton Aerospace performs aerospace support, engineering services, and technical analysis under primes including HII Mission Technologies Corp (aircraft and weapons systems R&D, F-35 JPO support, propulsion and cyber analyses for AFLCMC), KBR Wyle Services (C-5M reliability and supportability analysis), The Boeing Company (Universal Armament Interface development), HX5 LLC (engineering and professional support at Eglin AFB's Armament Directorate), and others across twenty-plus named prime relationships. The SCI dataset shows minimal sub-engagement: only five SCI records across FY2022–FY2024, spanning 0.9 to 0.2 FTEs, indicating Dayton Aerospace's sub work falls largely below the SCI reporting threshold or operates outside reportable service-contract scope. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans seven senior executive and consultant categories—from Senior Consultant at $159.25 per hour to Senior Executive VI at $482.01 per hour—all requiring master's degrees and targeted security clearance holdings, positioning the company for high-level management and technical advisory roles across federal agencies.
