Exito Manufacturing LLC

Exito Manufacturing LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Beavercreek, Ohio, manufactures precision-engineered aviation components and ground support equipment for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company competes on a full-and-open basis, without set-aside designation on the majority of its awards, though it holds Total Small Business set-aside awards on approximately one-third of its contract portfolio.

Exito's customer concentration is narrow and deep within DLA's aviation logistics ecosystem. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates the award portfolio with 79 awards carrying $708 thousand combined potential value, representing 72% of all awards and 59% of total dollars. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 18 awards and $416 thousand, while DLA Land and Maritime represents 13 awards and $80 thousand. All 110 awards in the source span three DLA divisions; the company has no work outside the defense logistics supply chain. The top NAICS concentrations are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (52 awards) and Machine Shops (43 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (76 awards) and Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (17 awards).

Exito's capability footprint centers on manufacturing discrete aviation components and equipment supporting military aircraft maintenance. Representative work includes a $49.9 thousand total small business set-aside for fuel sample sets awarded in November 2022, a $26.9 thousand total small business set-aside for aircraft fixtures awarded in January 2023, a $38 thousand total small business set-aside for aircraft ground locks awarded in August 2021, and numerous sub-$10 thousand awards for brackets, adapters, probe assemblies, brake vent bodies, locking-tape nuts, aircraft links, and aircraft fixtures across 2023 through 2026. The company's federal registration dates to April 2004; all work is performed in-house at the Beavercreek facility.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year, averaging 15 to 20 awards annually over 2022 through 2025, with only two awards recorded in the 2026 portion of the source. The recompete cliff is minimal—only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $15 thousand. Exito has no subcontractor footprint and does not sit on parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs; all work flows as standalone DLA purchase orders. The combined potential value across all 110 awards is $1.2 million, with 100% of that amount already obligated, reflecting the pay-as-you-go nature of DLA purchase order contracts. Exito Manufacturing operates as a pure-play DLA supplier with no diversification into other federal agencies or commercial work.
