Eldec Aerospace Corp

Eldec Aerospace Corp, operating as Crane Aerospace & Electronics, manufactures precision aerospace and electronics components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) and subcontractor. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open, non-set-aside markets across defense logistics and sustainment programs. Eldec Aerospace is a division of Crane Co., a diversified industrial manufacturer headquartered outside the federal space.

Eldec's capability portfolio centers on mission-critical electronic components and repair services for military platforms. The vendor manufactures and repairs proximity switches (the single largest component class across the award footprint), battery chargers, power supplies, sensors, circuit card assemblies, transducers, and control/alarm systems. Representative prime work includes a $1,725,526 definitive contract from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (April 2025) for tire sensor supply; a $758,100 definitive contract from the Air Force Sustainment Center (November 2025) for F-15 power supply units; a $678,750 definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (June 2024) for battery chargers; and a $1,275,110 indefinite-delivery contract (June 2023) for B-52 battery charger repairs under the Air Force Sustainment Center. The company operates primarily as a direct vendor to federal procurement agencies rather than through parent-company contract vehicles.

Customer concentration is sharp and defense-dominated. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime commands 68% of the top-five customer base by count, with 995 awards valued at $50.5 million combined potential value; the Air Force Sustainment Center follows with 179 awards valued at $30.7 million; Naval Supply Systems Command holds 189 awards valued at $20.2 million. Together, these three customers account for 83% of combined potential value across all awards. DLA's dominance reflects Eldec's role as a primary supplier of electronic components through DLA distribution channels supporting sustainment of legacy platforms (B-2, B-52, F-15).

Eldec Aerospace holds multiple indefinite-delivery contracts across Air Force and Navy logistics organizations. The most recent IDV, awarded March 2026, carries a $779,756 ceiling for B-2 alarm controller, B-52 battery charger, and F-15 battery charger repair services at the Air Force Sustainment Center. Other active IDVs include a $343,556 Naval Supply Systems Command vehicle (January 2026) for V-22 and H-60 repair logistics, a $418,480 Air Force Sustainment Center contract (June 2023) for F-15 power supply repairs, and a $750,000 DLA Aviation contract (August 2023) for tire sensor supply. These vehicles allow the government to issue task orders as maintenance needs arise, anchoring a steady flow of repair and component-supply work.

Recent activity has declined year over year (99 awards in 2022 to 14 in 2026 to date), though the source captures only the first four months of 2026. Thirty-eight awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.2 million and face recompete exposure. The vendor's subcontract footprint, though only 2% of recent awards by count, includes work as a supplier to Boeing (F-15 and MQ-25 programs, multiple material and systems orders), Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA capability set), Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (CMV-22 production long-lead items), Northrop Grumman (Advanced Technology Support Program microelectronic obsolescence resolution), and Sikorsky Aircraft (component and service work). The subcontract work reflects the company's position within the broader aerospace industrial base, supplying electronic components to major primes building fighters, transport rotorcraft, and unmanned systems.

By category, Eldec's award footprint reflects its core competency in electronic component manufacturing and repair: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (515 awards), Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (243 awards), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (242 awards) dominate. The PSC distribution mirrors this profile—Switches (943 awards), Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (325 awards), and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (144 awards) anchor the vendor's recurring business. Obligated dollars ($281 million) exceed combined potential value ($142.1 million) by 98 percent, indicating substantial prior-year work now in performance phase or completion, typical of long-running repair and supply contracts with military services.
