Eaton Aeroquip LLC

Eaton Aeroquip LLC Fluid And Electrical Distribution Division, doing business as Jackson North 1, manufactures fluid transfer and electrical distribution components for aerospace and defense applications as a prime contractor and subcontractor. The company is a foreign-owned subsidiary of Eaton Corporation (Dublin, Ireland) and competes without set-aside restrictions across the Defense Logistics Agency supply base, with a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $3,837,502.96 effective through November 18, 2026.

Eaton Aeroquip's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely on the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA LM), which accounts for 21,016 of the company's 24,591 recent awards and $681.5 million of its $910.9 million combined potential value across all awards since 1999. The vendor holds a commercial-item supplier position under FAR Part 13.5 Simplified Procedures, procuring precision fluid transfer components—coupling halves (self-sealing and quick-disconnect), nonmetallic hose assemblies, tube couplings, elbows, valves, adapters, and filter assemblies—across 13 named NAICS categories led by Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing and All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing. DLA Aviation (1,356 awards, $59.9 million) and the Department of the Army Materiel Command (120 awards, $15.3 million) provide secondary but minor customer exposure. Recent representative prime work includes a $337,779 filter assembly delivery order (DLA LM, October 1, 2025), a $306.5 thousand coupling assembly delivery order (DLA LM, October 1, 2025), a $302 thousand coupling halves delivery order (DLA LM, August 22, 2025), and a $184,280 coupling half self-sealing delivery order (DLA LM, November 26, 2025). All prime awards are issued as delivery orders under the single-award IDC with DLA LM, with no set-aside designation and firm fixed pricing.

Eaton Aeroquip places task orders under five named indefinite delivery contracts with DLA LM; the largest parent vehicles carry between 1,407 and 2,105 task orders and $7.9 million to $19.6 million in combined potential value. Award activity has declined materially—from 1,405 awards in 2022 to 79 in the first five months of 2026—though this reflects the source's limited coverage window and does not signal contract loss. The recompete cliff shows 28 awards valued at $1.4 million completing in the next twenty-four months, posing minimal recompete risk.

In its subcontractor role, Eaton Aeroquip supplies fluid transfer and structural aerospace components to The Boeing Company (C-17 Virtual Fleet Material Requirements, F-15EX production lots, KC-X Modernization), Sikorsky Aircraft (CH-53K long-lead items, FY24 Delta Spares), Bell Textron and Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (V-22 coupling half and swivel assembly repair and production), Moog Military Aircraft (MH-60T helicopter servocylinder overhaul supporting USCG), and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (aircraft control panels and auxiliary equipment). Sub work clusters around commercial aerospace commodities and aircraft parts sustainment across multiple military rotorcraft, transport, and fighter programs.

Eaton Aeroquip operates from Jackson, Michigan, with place-of-performance at that facility for domestic orders and at Mexico City, Mexico for select coupling and clamp components. The company specializes in manufacturing, not engineering or integration services. Recent activity—consistent high-volume delivery-order placement under a single mature DLA LM vehicle with no movement toward GWACs, schedules, or other vehicles—positions Eaton Aeroquip as an established commodity supplier within the defense supply chain rather than a growth-stage competitor seeking new contract vehicles or customer diversification.
