Defense & Development Enterprises LLC

Defense & Development Enterprises LLC, doing business as D & D Enterprises, L.L.C., is a small-business aviation parts supplier based in Weston, Florida that furnishes aircraft components, mechanical fasteners, electronic assemblies, and repair services to the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security as a prime contractor on 306 federal awards (96% of recent activity) and as a subcontractor on specialized aircraft modification and repair work.

The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company with no stated SBA designations across most of its prime footprint, though it competes successfully under total small business set-asides on a fraction of awards. Defense & Development Enterprises maintains a working inventory exceeding 100,000 parts and positions itself as a division of Wright Aero Industries LLC. The company's capability portfolio centers on supplying aviation structural components—aircraft frames, fairings, panels, skins, and duct assemblies—along with mechanical fasteners, electrical connectors, bearings, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and electronic modules to support military aircraft maintenance and sustainment. Representative prime contracts include a $220.5 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for 67 stator generators (awarded April 2024), a $673.3 million semiconductor device order under total small business set-aside (May 2022), a $598,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract for terminal boards with DLA Aviation (March 2024), and an $69,190 firm fixed-price order from Air Education and Training Command to relocate an F-16C aircraft from Sheppard to Holloman Air Force Base (October 2025). The company also performs repair and overhaul services; recent work includes generator control unit repairs for the U.S. Coast Guard ($17,320, September 2025) and pump overhauls for Coast Guard long-range surveillance aircraft ($60,800 with options, July 2023).

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count: DLA Aviation leads with 208 awards carrying $3 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime with 56 awards totaling $4.5 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Army Materiel Command's Security Assistance Command rounding out the active set. However, the value ranking diverges: by potential dollars, DLA Land and Maritime edges DLA Aviation due to larger per-order values on semiconductor and electronics procurements, though DLA Aviation maintains volume dominance. The company has also served the Department of the Air Force, Naval Air Warfare Center, and (via subcontracts) the Army for foreign military sales and modification support.

Activity has grown from 29 awards annually in 2022 to 52 in 2024, with 51 awards in 2025, though the 2026 count reflects year-to-date awards only. Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Defense & Development Enterprises delivers aircraft components, repair services, and logistics support to Defense Systems and Solutions on UH-60M aircraft modification kits and materials for foreign military sales to Jordan, Greece, and Austria (multiple awards 2023–2026); to S & K Federal Services on repair of flight control computers, display units, and APU control units for Army Security Assistance Enterprise foreign military sales (May 2024–March 2026); to J.F. Taylor on CH-53K airframe movement and training device logistics (September 2025); and to Battelle Memorial Institute on F-16 airfield protection and movement support (July 2025). The subcontract footprint accounts for roughly 4% of total awards and centers on specialized aircraft modification, repair, and logistics enablement rather than component supply.

The company holds three active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA: the $598,000 terminal boards IDC with DLA Aviation (expires March 2025), a $250,000 cover and access items IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (set-aside, expired November 2023 but likely extended via delivery orders), and a $250,000 resistors IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (expired September 2022). Defense & Development Enterprises also places task orders under Army IDCs for foreign military sales and modification work (W91CRB23D0023, six task orders; W58RGZ18D0001, four task orders). The vendor's federal work concentrates in aircraft parts manufacturing (NAICS 336411 and related codes accounting for 90 awards), hardware manufacturing (28 awards), and fastener production (16 awards). Product Service Code concentration tracks components: airframe structural items (42 awards), miscellaneous aircraft accessories (23 awards), commercial hardware (16 awards), and air conditioning and pressurization equipment (14 awards). Nearly all recent procurement has been purchase orders and delivery orders, with firm fixed-price terms and rapid delivery cycles (many orders complete within seven to thirty days).
