Eaton Aerospace LLC

Eaton Aerospace LLC, doing business as Eaton Aerospace Jackson, is a Los Angeles-based subsidiary of Dublin-headquartered Eaton Corporation PLC that manufactures specialized aerospace components—principally hydraulic and pneumatic valves, servovalves, linear directional control valves, and related fluid control systems—for military aircraft sustainment and production programs. The vendor operates as a prime contractor (95% of awards) and subcontractor on full-and-open procurements with no set-aside footprint; all named prime awards carry no small business set-aside designation.

Eaton Aerospace's customer concentration sits heavily with defense supply and logistics entities. The top five funding agencies by award count—Naval Supply Systems Command (707 awards, $122.8 million), Defense Logistics Agency across all segments (1,926 awards combined), and Department of the Army Aviation and Missile Command ($43 million)—account for 78% of the vendor's recent prime award activity. By potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command dominates at $122.8 million, followed by the Army's Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command at $43 million and DLA Aviation at $31.1 million. The dollar rankings diverge slightly from volume; NAVSUP anchors both metrics, while the Army program represents concentrated large-dollar work despite lower award frequency.

Eaton Aerospace holds a multi-year Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded September 2022, ceiling $7,577,627, ultimate completion September 2024) for V-22 aircraft valves and related components, which has generated multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for regulating valves, switching modules, servovalves, and brake pneumatics. Recent representative prime work includes a $9.7 million definitive contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command (July 2023) for UH-60 Black Hawk hydraulic servovalves; a $1.32 million Ogden Air Logistics Complex spares-buy contract (September 2024) for F-15 flow control valves; a $2.44 million NAVSUP definitive contract (December 2025) for linear direct-acting valves; a $647,854.74 Air Force Sustainment Center contract (January 2026) for F-15 temperature regulating valves; and a $1.925 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Coast Guard (January 2026, ceiling through December 2027) for MH-60T hydraulic servovalves with an initial delivery order of $93,360 in July 2026. A second IDC with the Air Force Sustainment Center for C-5 directional control linear valves carries a ceiling of $435,512.68 and extends through July 2030.

The vendor's broader IDV portfolio centers on single-award vehicles with Navy and Air Force supply commands—the source names SPM7AX07D9003 (334 task orders, $9.1 million) as the top-used parent vehicle—enabling repetitive procurement of specialized valve assemblies and hydraulic system components. Work is performed in Los Angeles, California, with a secondary facility noted in Clarksburg, Maryland and a third in Knoxville, Tennessee, supporting the geographical diversity of defense sustainment operations.

Eaton Aerospace subcontracts to major defense primes, including The Boeing Company (C-17 Globemaster III sustainment, F-15EX advanced procurement, CH-47F helicopters, Apache helicopters, F/A-18E, MQ-25), Bell Textron and Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (V-22/CMV-22 and Future Vertical Lift programs), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (MQ-4C Triton long-lead items and hydraulic reservoirs), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (S-70 Black Hawk engineering change proposals), Vertex Aerospace (T-45 aircraft maintenance materials), Lockheed Martin (C-130J valve assemblies), and Raytheon Company (Patriot and Romanian UCA hydraulic assemblies and adapters). The sub footprint spans production long-lead items, sustainment material support, engineering change proposals, and spare parts for fighter aircraft, rotorcraft, and cargo platforms.

Activity has grown consistently—from 40 awards in 2022 to 115 in 2025—reflecting sustained demand for the vendor's valve manufacturing expertise across legacy and next-generation military aircraft. Forty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $25.3 million in combined potential value and face recompete. The vendor's NAICS concentration (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing: 1,120 awards; Carburetor, Piston, Piston Ring, and Valve Manufacturing: 405 awards) and PSC concentration (Valves, Nonpowered: 863 awards; Valves, Powered: 724 awards; Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, And De-Icing System Components: 593 awards) reflect its specialization as a precision fluid control component supplier to defense logistics and sustainment operations.
