Eaton Aerospace, LLC

Eaton Aerospace, LLC, doing business as Jackson South, manufactures and supplies specialized hydraulic pumps, motors, engine starters, and electro-hydra-mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, operating as a foreign-owned subsidiary of multinational Eaton Corporation PLC and competing in full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements across defense agencies.

Eaton Aerospace is a large business subsidiary of Dublin-based Eaton Corporation PLC, classified as foreign-owned, and competes exclusively in unrestricted, full-and-open procurements with no utilization of SBA set-asides. The company is headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, where its manufacturing and repair facility serves as the place of performance for virtually all prime contract work. Primary work centers on NAICS 333911 (Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 4320 (Power and Hand Pumps) and 4690 (Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components), reflecting its core mission as a supplier of hydraulic systems and components for military aviation platforms.

Eaton Aerospace holds a substantial prime footprint—97% of its recent awards are direct prime contracts and IDVs, with only 3% subcontract activity. Recent prime work includes a $5.2 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for axial piston pumps (March 2026), a $4.5 million Army Aviation and Missile Command award for MLRS spares procurement (September 2025), a $3.7 million Army award for CH-47D Chinook hydraulic pump units (August 2025), and a $3.4 million Army award for hydraulic motor assemblies supporting MLRS (September 2025). Additional significant work includes a $2.8 million single-award IDV with the Air Force Sustainment Center for KC-135 Stratotanker weapon system spare parts (January 2026) and a $1.7 million single-award IDV with DLA Aviation for hydraulic motors (September 2023). The company also holds a $1.1 million single-award IDV with the Air Force Sustainment Center for F-15 engine hydraulic pump remanufacturing (March 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward logistics and sustainment agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 73% of all prime awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (2,751 awards, $187.7 million potential value), Department of Army Aviation and Missile Command (137 awards, $175.4 million), DLA Land and Maritime (931 awards, $131.9 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (563 awards, $92.8 million). The split between logistics volume and dollars reflects the company's role in both routine component ordering through DLA and major development-and-production awards through Army and Navy supply commands.

Eaton Aerospace places the majority of its task orders against two foundational vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreement SPM4A110G0002 (1,225 task orders, $51.2 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038303G044B (1,150 task orders, $11.3 million). Additional vehicles include IDC SPE4AX18D9417 (391 task orders, $14.3 million), IDC N0038300G025B (249 task orders), and IDC F3460198G0009 (225 task orders). These vehicles are the primary vehicles through which DLA and Navy components are procured and allow standing orders for pump and hydraulic motor components across multiple military platforms.

Recent activity shows substantial growth. Awards per year increased from 55 in 2023 to 177 in 2025, with 8 awards recorded in 2026 as of March. Within the next twenty-four months, 47 awards with combined potential value of $45.6 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure.

Eaton Aerospace operates as a subcontractor to major aerospace primes on electro-hydra-mechanical (EHM) and fluid power system components. Named primes include The Boeing Company (C-17 Globemaster III sustainment, CH-47F advanced procurement, Apache advanced procurement), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CH-53K helicopter spare parts and long-lead items), Lockheed Martin Corporation (CH-53K and blade assembly work), Bell Textron Inc. (H-1 and Future Vertical Lift programs), Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (CMV-22 production), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (E-2D Advanced Hawkeye servo motors and hydraulic motors, E-2D engine parts), and General Electric Company (F-110 engines, F-15EX propulsion system). The vendor delivers pumps, hydraulic motors, control motors, and specialized electro-mechanical components under these programs, with a recurring pattern of sub-awards to support both production and sustainment requirements across the fixed-wing and rotary-wing fleet.

SCI data shows minimal reporting under the federal service contract inventory threshold; the vendor carries one SCI-reportable record as a named subcontractor in FY2024 representing 0.1 FTEs. This reflects Eaton Aerospace's profile as primarily a goods manufacturer rather than a services provider and indicates that the vast majority of its federal revenue flows through product-based IDVs and delivery orders rather than time-and-materials or cost-plus service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold.

Eaton Aerospace's federal footprint anchors on pump and hydraulic motor supply to sustain U.S. military aviation platforms across Army, Navy, and Air Force inventories. The company's subsidiary relationship to a large multinational parent, absence of set-aside participation, and concentration on specialized components with limited alternate sources position it as an established incumbent supplier within the defense industrial base for electrohydra-mechanical systems and fluid power equipment.
