Dynamic Defense Industries

Dynamic Defense Industries, doing business as DDI Manufacturing, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Santa Paula, California, that manufactures precision aerospace structural components for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation as a sole proprietor and 100% prime contractor, competing entirely outside set-asides on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates without subcontractors and has delivered more than 177 purchase orders totaling roughly $1.5 million to a single federal customer since 2017.

DDI Manufacturing's capability portfolio centers on production of airframe structural components for military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. The component mix includes angles, ribs, plates, frames, intercostals, brackets, clips, guards, covers, doublers, closures, formers, and seal assemblies — all designated by National Stock Numbers and delivered to DLA Distribution San Diego. Representative recent work includes a $21,000 purchase order awarded June 10, 2026, for eight units of precision angle components (NSN 1560LN0032993); a $23,840 order from March 5, 2025, for a mix of ribs, angles, plates, and frames; and a $27,000 order from July 12, 2023, for five rib components. Across its footprint, DDI Manufacturing has logged 158 awards categorized under airframe structural components (PSC), 15 awards for miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, and 4 awards across other aviation-related manufacturing categories.

Customer concentration is absolute: DLA Aviation accounts for all 177 awards and 100% of the $1.5 million combined potential value. The awards are structured as routine purchase orders with no parent vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs — each award is a standalone firm fixed-price transaction. Most awards carry no set-aside designation, though a subset — including the $22,500 order from May 9, 2024, the $19,480 order from May 10, 2024, the $19,000 order from November 17, 2023, and the $14,379 order from March 2, 2023 — were set aside for total small business participation.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years: 20 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and only 1 award to date in 2026. The near-term recompete exposure is minimal — only one award with an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $21,000. The vendor's obligation rate is high; $1.4 million of the $1.5 million combined potential value has been obligated, reflecting 95% execution against contracted values.
