Leda Corporation

Leda Corporation, doing business as Leda Corp, is a woman-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Huntington Beach, California, that manufactures aerospace and defense components and test equipment for federal agencies as both a prime contractor (42% of recent awards) and subcontractor (58%), competing predominantly through small-business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business with primary NAICS categories in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (334611) and fire control and navigation equipment (334511).

Leda's prime work centers on direct DLA procurement of specialized test equipment and common aerospace commodities. Representative prime awards include two $43.1 thousand firm fixed-price purchase orders from DLA Land and Maritime for TEST BOX units (NSN 1287012791788) under Total Small Business and full-and-open set-asides, both awarded in 2025. The company's subcontract footprint is substantially larger and more concentrated. Leda subcontracts primarily to Boeing on Space Launch System (SLS) Stages Production, Ares I Upper Stage Manufacturing, and Missile Defense Agency Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) sustainment contracts, supplying common aerospace commodities, cable assemblies, circuit card assemblies, and structural components. Recent Boeing sub-awards span SLS stages work (awarded February through January 2024), GMD continuation contracts (February 2024 through July 2024), and Ares I upper stage manufacturing and development (April 2023, November 2023, and December 2025). Leda also subcontracts to Aerojet Rocketdyne on RS-25 engine production restart for the Space Launch System, providing cable assemblies and wire ropes (awards December 2023 and September 2024). These subcontract relationships route the company's work through NASA (Space Launch System, Ares I) and DoD (Missile Defense Agency) missions via prime contractors rather than through direct agency awards.

Customer concentration by award count is distributed across multiple DLA logistics organizations and NASA, with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center accounting for 15 awards and DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime each placing 8 awards; these three entities represent 82% of recent award volume. DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime also dominate the potential-value ranking, holding $332 thousand and $291 thousand respectively in combined potential value. The discrepancy between award count and dollar value reflects the small purchase-order size characteristic of DLA procurement and the reliance on subcontract work whose value flows through Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne rather than appearing as direct agency potential value. Leda's principal parent vehicles are older IDIQs, including DAAH0186D0187 (2 task orders) and NASA contract NNK14MA75C (1 task order), alongside BOA agreements with DLA.

Activity has grown from four awards in 2019 to a peak of seventeen in 2024, with six awards in 2025 and one award in 2026 year-to-date; the recent slowdown likely reflects the commodity nature of the procurement base and typical DLA purchase-order seasonality. Combined potential value across all fifty awards (prime and sub) stands at $650 thousand, significantly below combined dollars obligated ($4.5 million), indicating that many awards have been fulfilled and obligated at values exceeding their initial potential ceiling — typical for small purchase orders where additional orders or modifications increase the obligated total. The source does not identify imminent recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months. Leda's work is rooted in component-level manufacturing and test equipment supply rather than systems integration or services, positioning the company as a second-tier supplier within large aerospace and defense primes' supply chains.
