General Aviation Industries, Inc.

General Aviation Industries, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Weatherford, Texas, is a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency and Department of the Air Force, supplying precision-engineered aerospace, automotive, and industrial components through firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories, with woman-owned small business designations appearing across recent awards.

The company's capability portfolio centers on manufacturing discrete mechanical assemblies, aerospace components, and ground support equipment for military logistics and aircraft maintenance. Representative prime work includes a $941,256 delivery order from DLA Aviation for B-52 Stratofortress riser terminal assemblies under a Total Small Business set-aside (Apr 2025), a $480,885 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 141 reciprocating pumps with delivery through June 2027 (Jun 2024), and a $179,730 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for rail assembly cargo components (Jul 2025). Recurring work spans cylinder assemblies, globe valves, adaptors, wheel assemblies, brake components, towbar equipment, maintenance platforms, and conveyors—items predominantly in the 20,000–80,000 NSN range. The company also performs government first article testing and produces specialized aerospace fixtures.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source. DLA divisions account for 82% of award count across three operating commands: DLA Aviation (512 awards, $21.1 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (723 awards, $14 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (549 awards, $11.1 million). The Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Army together account for less than 5% of potential value. DLA Aviation dominates by potential dollars despite placing fewer orders than Land and Maritime, reflecting larger individual delivery orders for specialized components like riser terminal assemblies.

The vendor holds five active indefinite delivery contracts, all single-award: a $350,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for cylinder assemblies (awarded May 2026, runs through May 2027); a $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation for various aerospace components (awarded Apr 2025, runs through Apr 2030); a $250,000 no-set-aside IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for pneumatic wheel assemblies (awarded Mar 2025, runs through Mar 2026); a $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for cylinder assemblies (awarded Nov 2024, runs through Nov 2025); and a $249,999.99 Total Small Business set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation for tube assemblies and related ground support equipment (awarded Jul 2024, runs through Jul 2029). The vendor also places orders under Air Force indefinite delivery contracts FA823221D0004 (26 task orders), FA853206D0008 (15 task orders, $455 thousand combined potential value), and FA851804D0031 (13 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value).

Activity has grown from 67 awards in 2022 to 142 in 2024, though 2025 shows 100 awards year-to-date and 2026 shows 39 awards to date (representing a truncated partial-year count). Across all 2,575 awards in the source, combined potential value is $60.6 million against $96.9 million in obligated dollars (160% of potential value), indicating significant invoicing against prior-year commitments. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is moderate: 47 awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million reach ultimate completion inside that window. Primary NAICS concentration is 336411 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 911 awards), with secondary concentration in 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing, 155 awards) and vehicular and conveyor equipment manufacturing.

In its subcontractor role, General Aviation Industries supplies aerospace support components and fixtures to Boeing (PBL material, F-15 development, KC-46 support equipment, advanced pilot training), BAE Systems (F-16 support equipment for Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Singapore, and Morocco), and Lockheed Martin. Subcontract work includes fixtures, adapters, cradles, fuel tank components, and ladders—typically supporting foreign military sales, aircraft development programs, and maintenance training systems. The vendor has shipped to Federal Supply Schedule sources and performs work worldwide, including overseas locations.

The vendor's award footprint reflects a specialization in producing and supplying low-to-mid-dollar-value discrete military components at scale—roughly 2,500 purchase orders over the past five years—rather than systems integration or large platform work. Customer concentration in DLA is extreme; loss of DLA relationships or recompete challenges on the five IDCs would materially impact the vendor's federal revenue base.
