General Aviation Industries, Inc.

General Aviation Industries, Inc. operates as a woman-owned small business manufacturer in Weatherford, Texas, supplying precision-engineered aerospace, automotive, and industrial components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across 2,503 prime awards (98% of recent activity) and serves as a subcontractor to Boeing and BAE Systems on defense aerospace programs. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business and Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides, with recurring designations across its prime portfolio.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on ground support equipment, aircraft maintenance platforms, mechanical power transmission equipment, and vehicular components. Representative prime work includes a $4.248 million indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation for B-52 Stratofortress riser terminal assemblies running through July 2029, a $480 thousand DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for reciprocating pumps (141 units, 365-day delivery), and a $263 thousand DLA Land and Maritime order for reciprocating pumps under NAICS 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing). Smaller routine procurements span globe valves, cylinder assemblies, wheel hubs, brake shoes, adapters, and tie-down ring assemblies across DLA's Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Construction and Equipment divisions.

Customer concentration is extreme and DLA-dominated. The top three funding agencies—DLA Aviation ($21 million across 505 awards), DLA Land and Maritime ($13.6 million across 717 awards), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($10.9 million across 544 awards)—account for the vast majority of the vendor's activity and represent 82% of all awards by count and 86% of combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force ranks fourth with 196 awards ($1.2 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Army Materiel Command's Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command carries 14 awards ($3.2 million potential value). This concentration reflects a supply-chain vendor model: General Aviation supplies commodities and assemblies through DLA's stock management system rather than building complex systems.

The vendor holds five named indefinite delivery contracts as prime: a $4.248 million DLA Aviation IDC for B-52 riser terminal assemblies (July 2029 completion), a $250 thousand DLA Aviation IDC for maintenance platforms and ground support equipment (April 2030 completion), a $250 thousand DLA Land and Maritime IDC for pneumatic wheel assemblies (March 2026 completion), a $250 thousand DLA Land and Maritime IDC for cylinder assemblies (November 2025 completion), and a $250 thousand DLA Aviation IDC for tube assemblies and lubricants (July 2029 completion). These vehicles anchor task order placement across the vendor's DLA divisions. Beyond IDCs, the vendor receives routine purchase orders and delivery orders from DLA solicitations, many set aside for small business or woman-owned small business, with completion dates spanning 2025–2030.

Activity has grown year over year, rising from 67 awards in 2022 to 142 in 2024, then declining to 96 in 2025 and 21 in early 2026 (year-to-date through mid-July). The vendor faces 46 awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across multiple small-business-set-aside DLA vehicle categories.

In its subcontractor role—which represents only 2% of recent activity by count—General Aviation supplies aerospace support components to Boeing on F-15EX, F-15 FMS, KC-46, and advanced pilot training programs, and to BAE Systems on F-16 support equipment for Romania and Morocco. The sub work spans fixtures, assemblies, retainers, and maintenance platforms for foreign military sales and domestic defense programs.

The vendor's award portfolio reflects NAICS concentration in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (901 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (153 awards), and Industrial Truck and Conveyor Equipment Manufacturing (97 and 65 awards respectively). PSC concentration follows: Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (659 awards), Parachutes and Cargo Tie Down Equipment (271 awards), and Nonpowered Valves (196 awards). The vendor manufactures and stocks parts rather than delivering engineering-led services, with firm fixed-price purchase orders dominating the award mix. General Aviation Industries has maintained SAM.gov vendor status since 2001 and demonstrated consistent delivery capability across DLA's multi-division supply chain over the past two decades.
