Delta-Ray Industries, Inc.

Delta-Ray Industries Inc., a woman-owned, HUBZone-certified small business based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, manufactures aircraft parts and rotorcraft spare components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (76% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The company operates predominantly in total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with recent prime work anchored to Army Aviation and Missile Command and Defense Logistics Agency platforms.

Delta-Ray's capability portfolio centers on aircraft spare parts manufacturing for military rotorcraft, with particular depth in UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter components and landing gear assemblies. Representative prime work includes a $4.84 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from Army Aviation and Missile Command (awarded March 9, 2023, ultimate completion March 9, 2027) for UH-60M spare parts including adjuster assemblies and related components; a $2.5 million single-award IDC from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (awarded December 9, 2025, ultimate completion December 7, 2028) for yoke assembly landing gear components and spare parts; and two recent delivery orders valued at $429,381 (February 19, 2026) and $434,000 (December 30, 2025) for adjuster assembly and landing gear yoke components under the Army Aviation and Missile Command contract, both completing November 1, 2027.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward DLA and Army Aviation platforms. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of awards by count. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates both volume and dollars (26 awards, $11.8 million combined potential value), followed by Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (6 awards, $8.8 million). By potential value, the concentration is even sharper — DLA Aviation and Army Aviation together account for approximately 96% of the $21.2 million combined potential value across all awards. Delta-Ray's top parent vehicles are three DLA Aviation IDCs and two Army Aviation IDCs, which collectively carry task order authority across DLA supply lines and Army rotorcraft logistics.

The subcontractor footprint is dominated by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (16 named sub-awards from May 2023 through May 2026), with work covering gearbox and transmission components, rotor wing assemblies, CH-53K and Combat Rescue Helicopter long-lead items, and swashplate assemblies. Lockheed Martin accounts for two additional sub-awards on ECP implementation and part number updates. Activity accelerated in 2024 (14 awards) before moderating in 2025 and 2026, though the source reflects only the most recent two-plus months of 2026. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $863 thousand face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. The company's NAICS distribution reflects specialized manufacturing: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing dominates (34 awards), followed by Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (21 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (16 awards), with top PSC categories centered on aircraft landing gear components (20 awards) and hose, pipe, and tube fittings (25 awards).
