ILC Astrospace LLC

ILC Astrospace LLC, a Delaware-based aerospace manufacturing subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand Industrial U.S., Inc., designs and manufactures specialized spacesuit components, thermal management systems, and space vehicle hardware as a prime contractor (23% of recent awards) and predominantly as a subcontractor (77%) to major aerospace primes. The company competes in full and open competition with no set-aside designations across its recent footprint.

ILC Astrospace's capability portfolio centers on extravehicular activity suit systems, including helmets, glove assemblies, thermal management garments, pressure bladders, wrist disconnects, and related softgoods and hard goods. Representative prime work includes a $284,349.50 firm fixed-price repair and restoration contract with NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded February 9, 2026) for REI and WEZI spacesuit prototypes, a $3.137 million definitive contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded November 5, 2025) for underwater balloon work, and a $25,000 purchase order from NASA Shared Services Center (awarded July 28, 2025) for 16 CBA regular-size neckdam assemblies. Most recent prime activity includes a $35,000 initial assessment contract with NASA Shared Services Center (awarded August 12, 2026) for high-vacuum welding glove refurbishment evaluation.

NASA Johnson Space Center dominates the customer set, accounting for 14 awards across the recent footprint; the top five customer agencies account for 100% of awards. However, customer concentration by potential value diverges sharply: Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection anchors $30 million in single-award potential value, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command's $3.1 million underwater balloon contract and NASA Shared Services Center's $344,000 in combined potential value across three smaller awards. The company has worked with NASA Johnson Space Center, NASA Shared Services Center, Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Customs and Border Protection.

ILC Astrospace's primary footprint is as a subcontractor to Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International under the Extravehicular Space Operations Contract (ESOC), where it performs spacesuit component manufacturing, repatterning, cost and fee sustainment, flocking adhesive tasks, and modular assembly work across multiple fiscal-year increments extending through 2027. Seventeen sub awards reflect ongoing engagement on ESOC since at least 2024, with recent tasks spanning upper-arm and lower-arm assemblies, helmets, boots, glove systems, thermal garments, and related protective hardware. Combined potential value across all awards is $33.5 million, though combined dollars obligated stand at $111 million, reflecting heavy invoicing against committed ceiling. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $3.2 million and representing near-term recompete exposure. The company's top NAICS categories are Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (14 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (4 awards), reflecting its specialization in aerospace hardware production.
