Lee Air Company, Inc.

Lee Air Company, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Sun Valley, California, supplies aviation spare parts and aerospace components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations across nearly all of its federal award portfolio. The company brings over sixty years of operational history and specializes in delivering National Stock Number (NSN)-designated components—valves, bearings, seals, assemblies, and mechanical parts—that support aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations across military services.

Lee Air's customer base concentrates heavily within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA Aviation accounts for 2,744 awards valued at $9.8 million combined potential value, representing roughly 60% of total awards and 70% of total potential value. DLA Land and Maritime follows with 1,004 awards at $2.8 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, and related Air Force commands round out the top five, together accounting for roughly 8% of award count and 6% of value. The concentration reflects Lee Air's core positioning as a routine DLA Aviation supplier of small-to-moderate-value purchase orders for aircraft components.

Recent award activity shows consistent volume: 210 awards in 2022, climbing to 296 in 2024, and 278 in 2025. The company holds seats on a handful of IDIQs, though vehicle participation is modest—indefinite delivery contract SPE4A614D5909 carries nine task orders valued at $4 thousand combined. Award values typically range from under $1 thousand to around $135 thousand, with representative recent contracts including a $60 thousand position transmitter (October 2025, DLA Aviation), a $43 thousand rod piston linear assembly (December 2025, DLA Aviation), a $30 thousand electrohydraulic amplifier (July 2025, Naval Supply Systems Command), and numerous orders for valves, bearings, sleeves, gaskets, and control components in the $1 thousand to $10 thousand range. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, minimizing near-term recompete exposure.

Lee Air competes in the full-and-open market and does not hold SBA set-asides. Across its portfolio, NAICS concentration clusters in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (1,080 awards), Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (440 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (280 awards). PSC coding reflects this specialization: Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components (411 awards), Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment (310 awards), and Valves Nonpowered (262 awards) dominate. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor—it holds no subcontract awards in the source data—and maintains its sole facility in Sun Valley, California, where all work is performed. Lee Air has been registered in SAM since September 2001 and has maintained continuous federal contracting engagement for over four decades, establishing itself as a stable, if specialized, supplier of maintenance-critical aerospace components to the military logistics enterprise.
