Vecco Wichita, Inc.

Vecco Wichita, Inc., operating as the Kaman Composites-Wichita, Inc. Division, manufactures composite materials and precision components for military vehicles and aircraft as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency, competing predominantly under full-and-open (non-set-aside) contracts. The company is a for-profit manufacturing subsidiary of Vital Engineered Components Company, Inc., headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, with primary NAICS concentration in motor vehicle seating and interior trim manufacturing (NAICS 336360) and aircraft parts manufacturing (NAICS 336413).

Vecco Wichita's federal footprint centers on Defense Logistics Agency logistics and sustainment contracts. The top five customer agencies account for 77% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Land and Maritime (80 awards, $4.3 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (79 awards, $4.6 million combined potential value), with secondary exposure to general DLA, Air Force, and Navy Supply Systems Command. The two rankings are nearly identical—both DLA units anchor volume and dollars in near-equal measure. Representative prime work includes a January 2026 purchase order from DLA Aviation for government first article testing valued at $109,259.74 under a Total Small Business set-aside, a December 2025 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for vehicle seat cushions valued at $40,740, and an April 2026 purchase order from DLA Construction and Equipment for observation windows valued at $44,764. The company's product portfolio spans vehicle interior components (seat cushions, seat back cushions, dust and moisture boots for military ground vehicles), aircraft observation windows, and ground shield components for aircraft.

Vecco Wichita operates across eleven active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 to $350,000, established at various intervals from August 2021 through December 2025. These IDCs collectively account for multiple delivery orders spanning seat back cushions, vehicle seat cushions, dust and moisture boots, and observation windows. The company places task orders under five named IDV vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM4A711D0108 (13 task orders, $314 thousand combined potential value), SPM40706D0428 (10 task orders, $672 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L123D60KX (7 task orders, $45 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L322D61FB (6 task orders, $48 thousand combined potential value), and SP047502D0390 (5 task orders, $482 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has remained stable, ranging from 11 to 18 awards annually over the past five years, with 4 awards recorded in 2026 through May. The recompete cliff is minimal—only 2 awards (combined potential value $118 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, Vecco Wichita provides composite aerospace components and common aerospace commodities to Boeing on CH-47F helicopter procurement programs, to Northrop Grumman on E-2D Advanced Hawkeye production, and to the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office on CMV-22 Osprey long lead-time items, with awards spanning February 2025 through May 2026. The subcontract footprint represents 3% of recent awards and carries dollar obligation roughly three times the combined potential value of prime work, indicating historical invoice value concentration in aerospace sub-tier supply. Vecco Wichita does not hold a federal contract vehicle or GWAC position; all prime work flows through single-award DLA IDCs issued via requests for quotation under full-and-open competition.
