About the company
General Electrodynamics Corporation, doing business as NSD Scale, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Arlington, Texas, supplies precision weighing instruments, load cells, force-weighing equipment, circuit testers, and specialized measurement devices to defense logistics and aviation customers as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business) and full-and-open categories, with set-asides appearing on approximately 15–20% of individual awards in the recent portfolio, though the vendor's core vehicle positioning and customer concentration sit with DLA Aviation, where both set-aside and open awards predominate.
NSD Scale's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense supply and maintenance operations. The top five customers account for 63% of recent awards by count, led overwhelmingly by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (278 awards, $13.3 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (27 awards, $12.9 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (27 awards, $1.2 million), the Department of the Air Force (21 awards, $2.6 million), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (16 awards, $5.4 million). DLA Aviation accounts for roughly 27% of combined potential value across the entire prime footprint; when Army Materiel Command's Apache-focused work is included, rotorcraft and aviation logistics represent the largest capability concentration. The vendor holds three single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $332,008 DLA Aviation load-cell IDC running through March 2029 (with $127,225 of $332,008 ceiling consumed through delivery orders as of September 2025), a $2.23 million Army Materiel Command contract for AH-64 Apache searchlight maintenance and overhaul running through June 2027, and a $1.06 million DLA Aviation scales-and-weighing IDC that completed in June 2023. In February 2025, NSD Scale was awarded a Federal Supply Schedule contract (GSA Multiple Award Schedule) with a $3.32 million ceiling and a five-year completion date (February 2030), opening a vehicle for ordering by civilian and defense agencies across the federal government; the U.S. Air National Guard issued a $16,221.66 delivery order against this FSS in September 2025 for an aero load cell kit.
Representative prime work includes a $272,137 delivery order from Army Materiel Command (January 2024) for AH-64 Apache searchlight maintenance and overhaul, a $133,988 electrical test set purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (July 2022), a $61,000 small-business-set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for 50 weighing scales (November 2023), and multiple DLA Aviation load-cell and force-weighing delivery orders ranging from $3,067 to $52,500. The company manufactures products domestically with 25–30 percent discounts from list prices on the GSA FSS, delivers within 45 days on most orders to domestic and select international locations, and specializes in National Stock Numbers for load cells, scales, circuit testers, and related measurement equipment.
Award activity has declined year over year—25 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 10 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 2 year-to-date in 2026—reflecting the small-order transactional nature of DLA Aviation's purchase-order profile against the vendor's IDC vehicles. Only one award (combined potential value $14,000) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure; the three large IDC vehicles carrying the bulk of the dollar value ($2.23 million, $1.06 million, and $332,008 in ceilings) have completion dates extending through June 2027 and March 2029, anchoring longer-term customer relationships. NSD Scale is a child entity of General Elctrodynamics Corpora, identified in the corporate structure block as the parent vendor; the parent entity also holds federal contract vehicles and prime-awardee status.
