Hyatt Die Cast And Engineering Corporation - South

Hyatt Die Cast and Engineering Corporation - South, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Cypress, California, supplies precision-engineered aluminum, zinc, and die-cast aerospace components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Boeing and Northrop Grumman on munitions and radar systems programs.

Hyatt Die Cast operates as a Subchapter S corporation under primary NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 39 (Airframe Structural Components), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, though several of its Indefinite Delivery Contracts carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. The vendor holds woman-owned small business (WOSB) status and has maintained federal contract eligibility since 2002 per SAM registration.

Customer concentration is extreme and defense-focused. DLA Aviation dominates the portfolio with 226 awards carrying $36.1 million in combined potential value — representing 94% of recent awards and 73% of all combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime and other DLA offices account for another $7.4 million, leaving negligible exposure to civilian agencies or the broader DoD. The vendor's footprint sits entirely within the DLA supply chain for aircraft access doors, access covers, and related configuration-controlled hardware supporting KC-135, various military transport and tactical aircraft, and logistics maintenance requirements. Over the past five years, annual award volume has grown from nine awards in 2021 to twenty-four in 2025, with combined obligated dollars reaching $26.5 million (54% of potential value), reflecting steady demand for aircraft spares.

Hyatt Die Cast holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation: a $5 million non-set-aside single-award IDC (through October 2028) for aircraft access doors; a $3.1 million Total Small Business set-aside single-award IDC for KC-135 aircraft access doors (through May 2030); a $250 thousand small business set-aside single-award IDC for aircraft access doors (through May 2029); and a $1.78 million Total Small Business set-aside single-award IDC for access covers awarded December 2025 (through December 2030). The top five parent IDCs across the portfolio carry combined potential value of $9.45 million. Recent prime awards include a $711 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order from DLA Aviation for aircraft access doors (June 2025), a $252 thousand delivery order for the same commodity (October 2023), a $150 thousand delivery order (December 2025), and a $25 thousand purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for access cover units under Total Small Business set-aside (September 2025). Task orders flow steadily across these vehicles at typical magnitudes ranging from $3,900 to $250 thousand per order.

In its subcontractor role, Hyatt Die Cast supplies die-cast components to Boeing on Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail kits and related common aerospace commodities under multiple supplemental agreements and delivery orders (most recent June 2025) and to Northrop Grumman on repairs, spares, and engineering services for APY-1/2 radar systems (most recent April 2025). Subcontract work represents only 5% of the recent award count but demonstrates access to major prime channels outside the DLA monopoly.

Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $434 thousand, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The vendor's 186 awards under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing NAICS reflect specialization in a narrow, stable commodity class where DLA Aviation maintains steady demand for inventory replenishment and aircraft sustainment.

Hyatt Die Cast provides aluminum and zinc die castings and has capability to provide secondary services, such as machining, plating, painting, hardware assembly for aerospace and defense business sectors.
