Dupont Specialty Products Usa, LLC

Dupont Specialty Products Usa, LLC, a subsidiary of Dupont De Nemours, Inc., supplies specialized chemical and material products to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force, operating almost exclusively as a subcontractor (96% of recent awards) to RTX Corporation on defense propulsion and airframe programs. The vendor is a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, classified primarily under Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (NAICS 333611, 54 of 57 recent awards) and Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing.

Dupont Specialty Products' federal work concentrates almost entirely with the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, which accounts for 54 of 57 awards in the source portfolio. Work flows through RTX Corporation as the prime contractor on F-35 and F/A-18 propulsion platforms and related sustainment activities. Representative subcontract work includes engine control unit risk-reduction design support for the F135 engine, propulsion spares provisioning under Initial Propulsion Spares IDIQs, performance-based logistics (PBL) sustainment for fiscal 2021 aircraft sustainment, and line replaceable unit and component tooling support across multiple F-35 and F/A-18 lots. Most recent sub awards cluster around LOT 18 PNR/TOOLING line items, F135 ECU design tasks, and recurring F119 and F135 engine sustainment deliveries to RTX, with award dates spanning May 2025 through January 2026.

The activity profile shows a sharp concentration in 2025: one award each in 2009 and 2019, then 53 awards in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. The combined potential value across all 57 awards is $38 thousand, which reflects that most sub awards carry minimal individual ceiling amounts; obligated dollars across the portfolio total $10.8 million, indicating substantial actual invoiced performance volume relative to stated ceilings. The vendor's customer footprint is narrow — the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command funds 95% of awards, with the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center and Ogden Air Logistics Complex accounting for the remaining volume. Dupont Specialty Products operates entirely within the RTX subcontractor ecosystem on these programs; no prime contract vehicles or independent task orders appear in the source data. The parent, Dupont De Nemours, Inc., also holds federal prime awards and grant recipient status, but the subsidiary's federal footprint remains confined to defense propulsion and airframe material supply through RTX.
