Goodrich Lighting Systems Inc.

Goodrich Lighting Systems Inc., a division of RTX Corporation (parent company listed in SAM as Goodrich Corporation), manufactures and supplies aviation lighting systems, components, and electro-hydro-mechanical (EHM) assemblies to the Defense Department as a large-business prime contractor, with 95% of recent awards as prime and 5% as subcontractor work across predominantly non-set-aside federal procurements.

Goodrich Lighting Systems operates from Phoenix, Arizona, where it manufactures navigational lights, indicator lights, landing lights, warning lights, light domes, lenses, housings, bezels, lamp assemblies, and related electrical and mechanical components for rotorcraft, transport, fighter, and trainer aircraft platforms. The company also supplies electro-hydro-mechanical components, battery and relay assemblies, capacitors, and power supplies supporting multiple defense platforms. Across its 878 recent federal awards (first award dating to 2002), the company has generated $170.3 million in combined potential value, with $52.6 million obligated (31% of ceiling). Award volume has grown from 45 in 2022 to 104 in 2024, with 43 awards in 2025 and 1 award visible in the 2026 data window. The company competes exclusively in the full-and-open market, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Customer concentration is acute and heavily weighted to Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. DLA Aviation accounts for 546 awards (92% of top-customer coverage by count) and $53 million in combined potential value. The next three customers by dollar value—the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command ($8.2 million across 50 awards), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($5.6 million across 123 awards), and DLA Land and Maritime ($1.7 million across 62 awards)—together represent a fraction of DLA Aviation's footprint. Goodrich's work is dominated by small-dollar, high-frequency purchase orders and delivery orders under Indefinite Delivery Contracts held with DLA Aviation, primarily the single-award IDC valued at $1,938,060.78 running through November 2026. Within the top parent vehicles, Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4AX18D9411 carries 152 task orders ($4 million combined potential value), followed by SPE4AX14D9412 with 51 task orders ($2.1 million), and SPE4A614D0241 with 14 task orders ($1.1 million). Award ceiling values typically range from $1,100 to $750,000, with the largest single award at $901,944.60 (April 2023, power supply components from Defense Contract Management Agency).

Goodrich's subcontractor footprint is material. The company performs electro-hydro-mechanical work for The Boeing Company under multiple Apache AH-64 airframe, CH-47 Chinook, and foreign military sales programs; supplies components to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office under CMV-22 Osprey long-lead-item and performance-based logistics contracts; and delivers lighting assemblies to Lockheed Martin on C-130J platforms. The subcontract awards span aircraft component manufacturing, advanced procurement for production lots, performance-based logistics, and foreign military sales support, with Boeing accounting for the majority of visible sub-awards.

NAICS concentration reflects Goodrich's lighting-centric portfolio: Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing dominates at 262 awards, followed by Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (96 awards) and Vehicular Lighting Equipment Manufacturing (79 awards). PSC concentration mirrors this — Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures accounts for 522 awards, and electric-related categories (converters, capacitors, lamps, fixtures) comprise the next tier. The recompete cliff window (next 24 months) exposes only 19 awards worth $905 thousand in combined potential value to ultimate completion and recompete, suggesting Goodrich has pushed most task orders under the DLA IDC beyond the two-year horizon. As a division of RTX Corporation, Goodrich leverages parent-company scale, quality certifications (including AS9100 Revision D), and established prime contractor relationships with major aerospace primes, positioning itself as a stable, large-business supplier of specialized lighting and electro-mechanical components within the defense industrial base.
