Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry, Inc.

Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry, Inc., doing business as Barry Wright Corp, is a foreign-owned manufacturer of specialized aerospace components operating as a subsidiary of Total SA and delivering resilient mounts, vibration isolators, bushings, sleeves, snubbers, and weapon system mounting hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (97% of awards). The company competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside posture, holding its headquarters in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

Hutchinson's customer base concentrates overwhelmingly on the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which accounts for 1,157 awards and $94 million in combined potential value—60% of total award count and 90% of total potential value across the recent footprint. The top five funding agencies by award count cover 77% of recent awards: DLA Aviation dominates, followed distantly by DLA (wider organization), the Department of the Air Force, DLA Land and Maritime, and the Department of the Navy. The rankings by potential value track this concentration tightly, confirming DLA Aviation's role as the anchor customer.

Hutchinson's capability portfolio centers on precision-engineered aerospace components for military aircraft and weapons platform maintenance, repair, and upgrade. Recent representative work includes a $3.047 million delivery order from DLA Aviation in May 2025 for isolation mounts, a $3.848 million delivery order from DLA Aviation for isolation mounts (also May 2025), and a $780,000 purchase order from DLA Aviation in February 2025 for isolation mounts. Smaller transactional work includes resilient weapon system mounts, snubbers, bushings and sleeves, and base mounting converters, the bulk issued as task orders under standing indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime.

The vendor holds multiple active IDVs anchoring its DLA relationship. The largest is a $20.725 million single-award contract awarded May 27, 2025, for isolation mounts extending through May 26, 2030 (three delivery orders totaling approximately $8.2 million have been issued to date). A $699,534.90 single-award IDV for resilient weapon system mounts extends through July 2, 2030. Additional vehicles include a $350,000 single-award IDV for general aerospace components (March 2031 expiration) and a $250,000 single-award vehicle for bushings and sleeves through December 9, 2029. These vehicles enable flexible procurement of standardized parts across defense platforms and maintenance cycles, with recent task order values ranging from under $400 to over $3 million.

Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years—93 awards in 2022, declining to 71 in 2025—with only 6 awards recorded in 2026 through April. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next two years, carrying combined potential value of $19,000.

In its subcontractor role, Hutchinson supplies vibration mounts and precision-turned products to major defense primes. Named sub relationships include Raytheon Company (CIWS production, TOW missile production, vibe mounts), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (precision turned product manufacturing for Royal Australian Air Force C-130J-30 program), BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. (canister production, material support), Oshkosh Defense LLC (Israel Defense Forces tactical vehicle composites), and Boeing, General Dynamics Land Systems, and others across aviation, ordnance, and platform programs. The subcontract work reflects the same precision mounting and vibration isolation specialty as the prime footprint.

Hutchinson's product concentration is extreme: Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing accounts for 536 awards; Other Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing for 291; and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing for 117. The PSC distribution reinforces this focus—Hardware, Weapon System dominates with 1,018 awards, followed by Hardware, Commercial (376 awards). This NAICS and PSC pattern reflects Hutchinson's role as a deep supplier of small, standardized aerospace fasteners and mounts consumed at scale across the defense logistics network rather than as a systems integrator or platform-level contractor.
