L&E Engineering, LLC

L&E Engineering, LLC (doing business as L & E Engineering Co), a subsidiary of Novaria Holdings LLC, manufactures aircraft engine components and related hardware for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (84% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on F135 engine control unit risk reduction design programs. Based in Greenwood, Indiana, L&E Engineering is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods with a forty-year award history anchored to defense aviation platforms.

L&E Engineering's customer base concentrates within Department of Defense air platforms and supply-chain programs. The Department of the Air Force leads by award count with twelve awards; the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command holds six awards; and the Defense Logistics Agency and its aviation subordinate component together account for nine awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation branch carries the only quantified potential value in the recent portfolio — three awards valued at $449 thousand combined — indicating that the bulk of L&E Engineering's listed awards are legacy or nominal-value contract vehicles. The obligated dollars across all awards ($1.7 million) exceed combined potential value by 382%, a pattern typical of long-running supply contracts where annual task orders or delivery orders reset potential value while cumulative invoicing accumulates across the contract term.

L&E Engineering operates under five distinct Air Force indefinite delivery contracts (F3460182C0665, F3460183C2624, F3460183C3244, F3460184C0410, F3460185C1290), each carrying one task order. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing — eleven awards carry primary NAICS 541512 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) — with twenty-nine awards classified under PSC Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components. Recent subcontract work with RTX Corporation spans six awards issued between September and December 2025 for F135 engine control unit risk reduction design activities, indicating active engagement on engine development and qualification work for defense aviation platforms. The award trajectory shows episodic volume — two awards each in 2001–2002 and 2008–2009, then a six-award spike in 2025 — consistent with project-driven aerospace manufacturing and qualification cycles rather than sustained operations.
