Eaton-Aeroquip Inc.

Eaton-Aeroquip Inc., a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation PLC, is a major supplier of fluid distribution components and systems to the U.S. federal government, particularly the Department of Defense. The company specializes in manufacturing hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, and electrical components for aerospace and defense applications. These include coupling halves, quick connectors, hose assemblies, manifolds, valves, and other fluid transfer parts. Eaton-Aeroquip's primary facility for fulfilling federal contracts is located in Jackson, Michigan, where it produces a wide range of critical components that support military logistics and sustainment programs across all branches of the armed forces.

The majority of Eaton-Aeroquip's federal contract awards come from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, with additional business from DLA Aviation and the Naval Air Systems Command. The company provides a vast array of fluid transfer components, including self-sealing coupling halves, quick disconnect couplings, nonmetallic hose assemblies, tube fittings, elbows, adapters, and fuel system parts. These items are essential for maintaining and repairing military aircraft, vehicles, and other equipment. Eaton-Aeroquip has received numerous delivery orders for these components, with individual contract values ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $200,000. The contracts are typically awarded without set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. Eaton-Aeroquip's role as a prime contractor in these awards underscores its importance in the defense supply chain.

This single-award contract allows DLA Aviation to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for fuel-main manifolds and other fluid system components for military aircraft and vehicles. Another significant IDC is with DLA Land and Maritime, valued at $1,379,377, which runs through August 2024.
