Industrial Automation Inc.

Industrial Automation Inc., a Seattle-based Boeing-licensed original equipment manufacturer, produces aircraft maintenance tooling and ground support equipment for military aviation platforms as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly under small business set-asides on Naval Air Systems Command and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center programs.

The company is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with headquarters at 1421 S 93rd Street, Seattle, Washington 98108. Industrial Automation competes across total small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles; recent awards split between small business set-asides (roughly 45% of prime awards) and unrestricted competition. Primary NAICS categories include 333924 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 46 awards) and related tooling and manufacturing codes; PSC codes center on Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (57 awards) and Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (17 awards).

The Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center dominates the customer footprint, accounting for 77 of 92 recent prime awards (95% coverage by count) and $66.3 million in combined potential value across a portfolio of purchase orders, delivery orders, and indefinite-delivery contracts for specialized components and test equipment supporting the P-8A Poseidon, CH-53K King Stallion, F/A-18 Hornet, and MQ-25 Stingray platforms. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, though representing only four awards by count, anchors $485.3 million in combined potential value through the KC-46 Support Equipment multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (awarded June 2023, running through June 2033). Naval Supply Systems Command places a secondary volume of small purchase orders ($191 thousand combined value across seven awards). The Naval Air Systems Command and Defense Logistics Agency account for the remainder.

Industrial Automation holds three primary parent vehicles. The $485 million KC-46 Support Equipment IDV with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center has generated three task orders for Phase 4 industrial automation support ($257 thousand), foreign military sales equipment for Israel ($47.4 thousand), and administrative work ($1 value). The single-award $235,458 MQ-25 ARC-210 Cables IDC with Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded May 2022, running through April 2027, small business set-aside) has drawn five delivery orders valued at $56.5 thousand, $37.7 thousand, $9.4 thousand, and smaller amounts. The single-award $168,638 MQ-4C Triton test-equipment IDC (awarded August 2025, small business set-aside, running through August 2027) procures oil pressure and air pressure service sets. Industrial Automation also places work under a $58,259 indefinite-delivery contract for cable assemblies and several other smaller IDVs.

Representative prime work includes a $5.94 million definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for protective equipment, antennas, parking, and I/O components (October 2025), a $1.99 million definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for miscellaneous Boeing P-8A parts (January 2023), a $460 thousand small business set-aside definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for F/A-18 Horizontal Stabilator Freeplay Inspection Sets (April 2022), a $268 thousand P-8A support equipment contract (March 2023), and a $257 thousand KC-46 delivery order (May 2025). Smaller purchase orders populate the remainder of the footprint: $166.6 thousand for P-8A LAPS scoop adapters and plug sets, $197.6 thousand for P-8A gantry access hatch equipment, $123.7 thousand for CH-53K signal generator adapter sets, and dozens of orders below $100 thousand for aircraft slings, tools, cable assemblies, and test equipment.

Activity has grown modestly year over year — nine awards in 2022 to fourteen in 2025 — with five awards in the first half of 2026 suggesting continued momentum. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $6.1 million and face recompete. Industrial Automation subcontracts minimally; one sub-award to The Boeing Company in December 2023 for a non-production aircraft sling represents the only documented sub engagement in the recent record.

Industrial Automation's capability footprint spans slings, adapters, cable assemblies, test equipment, tool sets, and handling gear for rotary-wing and fixed-wing naval and Air Force aircraft. The vendor's Boeing licensing and established role as a precision manufacturer for military aviation platforms position it as a repeat supplier to Naval Air Warfare Center and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, with $552 million in combined potential value across 97 awards since at least 2005 and $42.2 million in obligated dollars to date.
