About the company
Howe Machine & Tool Corp., a SBA-certified veteran-owned small business based in Bethpage, New York with a secondary facility in Valencia, California, manufactures precision machined aerospace and defense components—planetary gears, valve assemblies, switches, motors, actuators, cable assemblies, and related aircraft parts—as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Naval Supply Systems Command. The company is a manufacturer of goods (NAICS 336412, related to aircraft engine parts and aircraft auxiliary equipment) competing predominantly full-and-open across DLA purchase orders and delivery orders, with roughly 99% prime awards and 1% subcontractor work.
DLA dominates the customer concentration dramatically. The top two customers—DLA Land and Maritime (3,226 awards, $88.5 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (2,247 awards, $78.8 million)—account for 94% of all awards and 93% of combined potential value across the vendor's recent portfolio. The split between them tracks nearly even by dollar volume, with Land and Maritime slightly ahead. The Department of Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Air Force Sustainment Center round out a five-customer footprint serving 24 distinct agencies overall, but DLA is the overwhelming anchor.
Howe's primary contract vehicle posture centers on DLA single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs), each valued at $250,000 ceiling. The top five parent vehicles are unnamed DLA IDVs (SP040005AAD10 with 199 task orders; SP040006AAD10 with 89 task orders; SPE7MX20D0093 with 61 task orders generating $666 thousand; SPE7MX19D0062 with 26 task orders generating $1.2 million; and SPE4A714D0059 with 18 task orders generating $889 thousand). Task orders under these IDCs cover thermostatic switches, pressure switches, flow switches, seals, direct current motors, alternating current motors, fuel shutoff valves, fuel pressurization valves, solenoid assemblies, and miscellaneous structural aircraft parts. Places of performance split between Bethpage (New York headquarters for most switches and structural items) and Valencia (California facility for motors and valve assemblies).
Award activity has declined substantially. Howe received 264 awards in 2022, 126 in 2023, 68 in 2024, 51 in 2025, and 20 in 2026 year-to-date—a sharp contraction. Combined potential value sits at $199 million with $155.5 million already obligated (78% realization). The recompete cliff is minimal: only 9 awards totaling $181 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
The vendor's subcontractor footprint is limited but consistent. Howe supplies precision turned parts and manufacturing to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation as a subcontractor, delivering components for E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft programs, ailerons, proximity switches, and aerial refueling retrofit kits. Recent sub awards (November 2025, October 2025, September 2025) cluster around Northrop Grumman and precision-turned product manufacturing for naval aircraft applications.
Set-aside posture is selective: the majority of DLA purchase orders and delivery orders carry no set-aside designation (full-and-open), but Howe also holds several total small business set-aside IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded December 2022, January 2023, January 2024), allowing the company to compete set-aside delivery orders alongside its open market work. Howe's veteran-owned certification (valid through April 2028) anchors this dual posture.
Capability concentration skews toward electromechanical and fluid-system components: the top NAICS categories are Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (780 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (613), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (590). By PSC code, Switches (1,518 awards) dominate, followed by Engine Fuel System Components (798), Valves Nonpowered (315), Valves Powered (314), and Motors Electrical (264). Representative work includes $99 thousand for 68 cable assemblies to DLA Aviation, $91.5 thousand for lifting bar assemblies to DLA Land and Maritime set-aside, $86.2 thousand for fuel tank engine components to DLA Aviation, and recurring motor and switch delivery orders in the $40–90 thousand range. Recent awards (July 2026, May 2026) remain sub-$15 thousand in ceiling value, reflecting the shift to smaller purchase orders and the overall activity decline.
