Dixie Air Parts Supply, Inc.

Dixie Air Parts Supply, Inc., doing business as Dixie Air Parts, supplies specialized aviation and ground vehicle spare parts and components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor through high-volume, low-dollar purchase orders on a firm fixed-price basis, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The San Antonio, Texas-based for-profit corporation operates a 120,000 square-foot warehouse maintaining over 250,000 line items of fasteners, mechanical assemblies, electrical components, hydraulic and pneumatic devices, and structural parts supporting military aircraft and equipment maintenance. Dixie Air Parts has been registered in the System for Award Management since August 2001 and has supplied the federal government for over two decades.

The vendor's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in DLA. The top five funding agencies account for 93% of awards by count and 94% of combined potential value, dominated entirely by DLA divisions: DLA Aviation leads with 2,793 awards totaling $8.8 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime with 1,877 awards worth $4.2 million, DLA Troop Support Hardware with 884 awards worth $892 thousand, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment with 194 awards worth $679 thousand, and DLA (undifferentiated) with 133 awards worth $63 thousand. The two rankings track identically—DLA Aviation dominates both volume and dollars—reflecting the vendor's singular focus on DLA's logistics operations.

Dixie Air Parts operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); no subcontract work is present in the award footprint. Representative recent prime work includes a $49,920 DLA Aviation purchase order for flange attachment components awarded April 8, 2026, a $18,290 DLA Aviation order for housing and light components awarded December 17, 2025, a $17,860 DLA Land and Maritime firm fixed-price order for plain seals awarded December 11, 2025, and a $15,450 DLA Aviation order for electric control components awarded January 12, 2026. The vendor also holds a single Total Small Business set-aside purchase order: a $17,475 DLA Land and Maritime award for a valve body component issued November 6, 2025, and a $16,500 DLA Land and Maritime Total Small Business order for a regulating valve issued March 26, 2026. All other awards carry no set-aside designation.

The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on hardware and fastener manufacturing: the top category, Hardware Manufacturing, accounts for 906 awards; Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing follows with 796 awards; Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing comprises 624 awards; Other Electronic Component Manufacturing accounts for 377 awards; and Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing covers 244 awards. PSC concentration mirrors this commodity posture: Hardware, Commercial leads with 412 awards, followed by Nuts and Washers (339 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (271 awards), Screws (264 awards), and Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (245 awards).

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years—ranging from 376 awards in 2024 to 439 in 2023, with 401 awards in 2025 and 100 recorded in the first four months of 2026. Combined potential value across all 6,323 awards stands at $15.8 million, with combined obligated dollars at $21.6 million (137% of potential value), indicating the vendor regularly receives incremental task orders and modifications that exceed original estimates. The vendor's award footprint spans from February 1981 to April 15, 2026, demonstrating four decades of continuous federal contracting activity.

Dixie Air Parts holds positions on several indefinite delivery and basic ordering vehicles, though order volume per vehicle remains modest: Indefinite Delivery Contract SP059905D5153 carries 4 task orders; Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM40605D2015 holds 4 task orders worth $191 thousand in combined potential value; Basic Ordering Agreement F0460681D0092 shows 3 task orders; Indefinite Delivery Contract F4160887CC122 and Indefinite Delivery Contract SP050005D5198 each carry 2 task orders. The vendor's posture reflects a high-velocity, high-frequency small-dollar procurement model typical of DLA's routine spare-parts supply chain, with individual purchase orders ranging from under $300 to moderately complex assemblies in the $50,000 range, all executed as firm fixed-price commercial orders at the contractor's San Antonio facility.
