Flotron

Flotron, a Vista, California-based small business manufacturer of aerospace and defense support equipment, operates as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) supplying electrical extractors, rotation fixtures, and specialized ground support tooling to the Defense Logistics Agency and NASA. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with occasional Total Small Business set-aside designations; it has been registered with the System for Award Management since 2002 and remains classified as a small business across its federal footprint.

Flotron's customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates the portfolio, accounting for 212 of 230 prime awards (90% of award count) and $2.1 million of the $2.9 million combined potential value across all work. NASA Shared Services Center anchors the secondary revenue stream with 6 awards worth $551 thousand, including a $255,557 Athena test article rotation fixture and a $77,046 rotation/lift dolly for the Mars Sample Return Entry Vehicle project. Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office placed a single $215,646 rotation fixture order in 2024. The remaining 22 customer agencies collectively account for under 1% of dollar value. The top customers by award count and potential value track identically—DLA-LM dominates both metrics. Recent DLA-LM work centers on recurring purchase orders for electrical extractors valued between $800 and $31,500, with unit orders to Defense Logistics Agency distribution depots across CONUS and OCONUS locations. Flotron holds two single-award IDIQs with DLA-LM: a $350,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded March 4, 2026 (completion March 4, 2027) for electrical extractors with a guaranteed minimum of 2 units and estimated 10 orders annually, and a $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded October 28, 2025 (completion October 28, 2026) for electrical extractors and aerospace ground support equipment with a guaranteed minimum of 2 units and estimated 9 orders per year.

Activity declined from 20 awards in 2022 to 5 awards year-to-date in 2026, representing a structural slowdown in DLA-LM purchase-order volume despite the two new IDIQs. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $23 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. Flotron subcontracts to major defense primes on specialized test fixtures and rotation equipment: Raytheon Company for gimbal assembly test fixtures (22 units, June 2025) and hand-tool engineering change proposals (March 2023); Lockheed Martin Corporation for dual-support rotation fixtures supporting NGI AUR development (July 2024); BAE Systems Land & Armaments on early procurement material for M109A7/M992A3 vehicle production (November 2025); Southwest Research Institute for special operations forces dismounted maneuver engagement technologies dual-support rotation fixtures (August 2025); The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for Dragonfly extended Phase B mission aerospace research and development support (May 2025); and The Boeing Company on Ares I upper stage development, test, and evaluation support (June 2023). NAICS classification concentrates in Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (194 awards) and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (18 awards), though the description and actual work product—electrical extractors and ground support equipment—do not align with PCB manufacturing, indicating a classification artifact in federal procurement records. PSC coding centers on Electrical And Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, And Associated Hardware (216 awards), again reflecting government category assignment rather than the vendor's stated capability. Flotron's actual capability footprint spans precision mechanical ground support equipment, engineered aerospace tooling solutions, rotation and lift fixtures, test article support systems, and specialized extraction tooling serving defense and space exploration applications. The company performs all work at its Vista, California headquarters.
