LKD Aerospace, LLC

LKD Aerospace, LLC, a small disadvantaged, woman-owned aerospace components manufacturer and distributor based in Snoqualmie, Washington, operates as a subsidiary of Krismark Group, Inc. and delivers thermostatic switches, inertial measurement units (IMUs), sensor assemblies, and related electronic components to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor. The company competes predominantly under full-and-open procurements, though it leverages its small disadvantaged, woman-owned business (SDWOB) status to capture total small business set-asides; recent awards split roughly 50/50 between set-aside and unrestricted competitions.

LKD Aerospace has built a dominant footprint with the Defense Logistics Agency. The DLA Land and Maritime division accounts for 315 awards worth $12.5 million in combined potential value (87% of the award portfolio by count and 47% by dollars), with most work consisting of individual purchase orders for thermostatic switches under a single indefinite delivery contract established in March 2021 with a $250,000 potential value. Representative prime awards include a $160,056 purchase order for 57 thermostatic switches issued April 9, 2026; a $151,250 purchase order for 55 units issued December 11, 2025; a $228,000 switch assembly order for 19 units issued December 23, 2024; and a $297,120 award for 96 sensor assembly skin test units issued August 19, 2021. The DLA Aviation division contributes 33 awards worth $3.1 million, including a $161,200 purchase order for 31 sensor assemblies issued April 4, 2025. LKD Aerospace also serves the Naval Sea Systems Command (15 awards, $5.8 million), the Air Force Materiel Command (4 awards, $2.8 million), and the Naval Air Warfare Center with IMU and electronic component deliveries. The top five customer agencies account for 87% of recent awards and 92% of combined potential value.

Activity has grown over the past four years — 18 awards in 2022 to 34 in 2025 — though volume in 2026 remains light (one award through early April). Eleven awards worth $969,000 in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. LKD Aerospace' capability footprint centers on thermostatic switches (287 awards), miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components (28 awards), resistors (19 awards), circuit breakers (13 awards), and commercial hardware. The primary NAICS coding reflects automatic environmental control manufacturing, other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, current-carrying wiring device manufacturing, and switchgear manufacturing.

In its subcontractor role, LKD Aerospace supplies thermostatic switches, IMUs, and accelerometers to Lockheed Martin (M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System production and Multi-Slit Solar Explorer mission development), BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems (GEOXO Ocean Color Instrument implementation), The Boeing Company (Commercial Crew Program crew transportation system certification), The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission and related aerospace research), and L3Harris Technologies (operation and sustainment). Recent sub work also includes IMU delivery to Cubic Defense Applications for instrumentation training system sustainment at Misawa, Osan, Kadena, and Kunsan; thermal switch supply to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing for National Security Campus operations; and accelerometer supply to Science Applications International Corporation for Navy hypersonics research and development. Sub work represents roughly 5% of total awards (20 of 442 over the source period) and routes LKD Aerospace into space, missile, and advanced technology programs beyond its core DLA supply-chain position.

The company operates within a tightly focused supply niche: DLA dominates customer concentration, thermostatic switches dominate the commodity focus, and the majority of work flows through repetitive purchase orders for inventory replenishment rather than development or integration projects. This posture limits recompete risk (the single $250,000 IDC is the only parent vehicle of significant scale in the top vehicles list) but also anchors revenue to transactional, price-driven volume. LKD Aerospace' broader parent, Krismark Group, Inc., carries the SDWOB and woman-owned business certifications; the subsidiary relationship appears to be a legal and operational structure that preserves small business status across both entities.

Since 1983, LKD Aerospace has been a manufacturer, repair and distributor of aircraft & engine components, parts and services. Supplier to the world's airlines, MRO's and OEM's.
