Eltee Tool & Die LLC

Eltee Tool & Die LLC, doing business as Eltee Tool & Die Co, manufactures precision aerospace components and structural elements for military aircraft as a veteran-owned small business prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, with over 1,500 federal contract awards predominantly in the last five years. The company holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation valued between $250 thousand and $2 million, with ceiling dates extending through 2030, and competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open contract vehicles.

Based in Johnson City, New York, Eltee Tool & Die LLC is a limited liability partnership and manufacturer of goods operating under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 15 (Airframe Structural Components). The company manufactures aircraft skins, access doors, fairings, firewalls, floors, ribs, airfoils, turbine parts kits, trailing edges, sliding door tracks, structural panels, and related airframe support assemblies. Recent representative work includes a $44.1 million aircraft skin components order awarded by DLA Aviation on September 11, 2025, under a firm fixed-price structure; a $56.25 million aircraft skin procurement from June 30, 2025; a $53.12 million aircraft skin delivery from December 10, 2025; and a $49.8 million aircraft fairing manufacturing contract from March 18, 2026. A single sub-award under Boeing Company for PBL material aerospace support (May 8, 2024) rounds out a footprint dominated by prime contracting.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation — 1,389 awards carrying $32.4 million in combined potential value represents 98 percent of the award count and 94 percent of all dollars. DLA Aviation's total across all divisions accounts for 99 percent of combined potential value, with the remaining 1 percent split among the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex (four awards, $757 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime (18 awards, $620 thousand), and scattered activity with DLA Troop Support and other agencies. Eltee Tool & Die holds positions on multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime. Named vehicles include seven active IDCs ranging from $250 thousand to $2 million ceiling, with task orders visible under IDC SPE4A722D5713 (13 task orders, $245 thousand combined), IDC SPE4A722D5732 (10 task orders, $157 thousand combined), IDC SPM47504D1370 (10 task orders, $357 thousand combined), IDC SPE4A617D6718 (9 task orders, $85 thousand combined), and IDC SPE4A718D5272 (7 task orders, $64 thousand combined).

Activity trajectory shows sustained but moderating volume — 95 awards in 2022 down to 35 in the first half of 2026 (annualized trend suggests a slower 2026), with a combined potential value of $34.5 million across all 1,576 awards and $22 million obligated. Fifty-three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $990 thousand and face recompete exposure. Award posture splits between total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with the vendor competing under both at parity. The company's single identifiable subcontract (Boeing, May 2024) represents less than 0.1 percent of the footprint; Eltee Tool & Die operates almost entirely as a prime contractor to DLA. Category concentration is narrow: 1,473 of 1,567 prime awards (94 percent) fall under PSC 15 (Airframe Structural Components), with aircraft skins, doors, fairings, panels, and related assemblies forming the core portfolio. Place of performance is Johnson City, New York, with occasional alternate delivery locations including Liverpool, New York.
