Boeing Distribution Services, Inc.

Boeing Distribution Services, Inc., operating as KLX Aerospace Solutions, is a subsidiary of The Boeing Company that supplies aerospace fasteners, hardware, and specialized components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no small-business set-asides across its federal footprint. The vendor is headquartered in O'Fallon, Missouri, with performance executed from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri.

KLX Aerospace Solutions' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Defense Logistics Agency's three supply chains. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads with 12,728 awards carrying $57.4 million in combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime with 3,710 awards and $55.2 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware with 7,607 awards and $34.1 million. The Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command rounds out the active set with 14 awards and $15.6 million. These five customers account for 100% of recent awards. The vendor competes entirely under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations.

The capability portfolio centers on specialized aerospace fastening hardware and components. Concrete recent examples include a $68,125 purchase order from DLA Aviation in January 2026 for 1,090 units of blind rivets with a May 2028 completion date; a $53,599 purchase order from DLA Aviation in March 2026 for blind rivets completing September 2026; a $52,325.60 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in December 2025 for a pressure switch component; and a $35,991 purchase order from DLA Aviation in March 2026 for blind rivets with a February 2028 completion. The vendor also supplies screws, bolts, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, grommets, bushings, electrical connectors, tube components, and specialized assemblies. Top PSC categories include screws (5,826 awards), bolts (3,573 awards), rivets (2,695 awards), nuts and washers (2,537 awards), and fastening devices (1,568 awards). Top NAICS categories are bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (11,515 awards) and hardware manufacturing (5,643 awards).

The vendor holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA, each valued at $250,000. Recent IDC awards include a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for specialized electrical contact components (awarded October 2025, completion October 2026); a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for electrical plug-in sockets (awarded September 2025, completion September 2026); and a $250,000 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation for shear bolts (awarded August 2025, completion August 2026). These vehicles enable flexible, on-demand ordering with estimated order frequencies ranging from four to twelve orders per year and guaranteed minimum quantities per vehicle. Top parent vehicles across the portfolio include IDC SPE4A521D0004 (475 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), IDC SPE5EY19D0558 (407 task orders, $1.1 million), and IDC SPE5EY19D0545 (110 task orders, $50 thousand).

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor received 3,869 awards in 2022, 3,483 in 2023, 2,119 in 2024, 1,740 in 2025, and only 146 awards through mid-2026—a year-over-year decline of nearly 92% from 2022 to 2026. Combined potential value across all 24,083 prime awards totals $162.6 million, with $71 million obligated (44% of potential). In the next twenty-four months, 259 awards carrying $2.3 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion and face recompete risk.

The vendor operates as a 100% prime footprint with minimal sub-award activity—only six sub-awards identified, with one to Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation for a turbine cover assembly under a prime awarded by The Boeing Company. Corporate structure shows The Boeing Company as the parent entity.
