Kaman Aerospace Corporation

Kaman Aerospace Corporation, operating through its Kaman Precision Products division and doing business as A Division Of Kaman Aerospace Corporation Kaman Precision Products, manufactures aerospace components, electronic assemblies, and safety and arming devices for the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies as a prime contractor (82% of recent awards) and subcontractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut, and operates as a subsidiary of parent Kaman Aerospace Group Inc.

Kaman Precision Products' capability portfolio centers on aircraft component repair and manufacturing, guided missile subsystems, and electronic assemblies. Recent prime work includes a $11.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the Army Aviation and Missile Command in September 2024 for Safety and Arming devices for 500 Hawk units supporting Building Partner Capacity assistance to Ukraine, with delivery through March 2026. The division also holds recurring purchase orders from Naval Supply Systems Command for repair and maintenance of C-130J Hercules external mass management units ($80,000 awarded October 2025, completion January 2027) and electronic assemblies ($15,000 awarded March 2026, completion June 2027). Additional representative prime work includes a $639,423 definitive contract with Naval Supply Systems Command for disk drive units (January 2022, completed December 2022) and a $207,640 Air Force purchase order for DRM/UDM PCMCIA cards used in the LRU-1 AIDEWS electronic warfare system (September 2023, completed June 2024).

Customer concentration is defense-centric and split between Army missile programs and Navy ship and aircraft sustainment. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 54% of awards, led by Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (61 awards, $528 thousand combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (43 awards, $1.2 million). By potential value, however, the Army Aviation and Missile Command dominates with 7 awards worth $26.9 million combined, followed by Navy Naval Air Warfare Center (16 awards, $9.6 million) and Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (31 awards, $4 million). This divergence signals sustained Army missile work anchoring dollar value while Navy orders cluster as high-volume, lower-ticket component and repair procurements.

Kaman Precision Products operates primarily through indefinite delivery contracts rather than GWACs or agency-wide vehicles. The top parent vehicles are Navy IDCs: N0016405DKC07 (34 task orders, $129 thousand combined potential value) and N0016410DWT70 (28 task orders, $343 thousand combined potential value), alongside an Army DAAH0102D0028 vehicle carrying 3 task orders worth $5.4 million combined. Award volume has accelerated in recent years — three awards in 2022 grew to 23 in 2024 and 22 in 2025 — though the recompete cliff is minimal, with only $95 thousand in awards facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.

As a subcontractor, Kaman Precision Products supplies Safety and Arming devices and electronic assemblies to major defense primes. Raytheon Company is the dominant prime partner, with numerous sub-awards for AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) S&A devices across production lots 34–40 and SM-6 tactical all-up round S&A devices (multiple awards October 2025–May 2025). Lockheed Martin Corporation engages Kaman on C-130J aircraft modernization and ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) life extension work, including performance-based logistics support for MH-60R and MH-60S aircraft WRAs and SRAs (February 2025, January 2025). The Boeing Company contracts Kaman for F-18 production long-lead propulsion items and Ukraine Harpoon air-launch conversion parts (June 2025, September 2025, November 2024).

The vendor's award distribution by product category reflects this supplier posture: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (78 awards), Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (43 awards), and Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing (42 awards) dominate the NAICS footprint. The PSC breakdown reinforces the portfolio: IT Input/Output and Storage Devices (91 awards), Electrical and Electronic Assemblies (47 awards), and Aircraft Environmental Control Equipment (29 awards). Combined obligated dollars ($228.3 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($70.5 million across 421 awards), indicating mature, executed delivery against multiple legacy orders from 1992 forward.
