Llamas Plastics Inc.

Llamas Plastics Inc., Llamas Plastics, Inc. Division, a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business and Woman-Owned Small Business, manufactures precision aerospace transparency and structural components including canopies, window panels, windshield panels, and panel systems for military aircraft, operating as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) to the Department of Defense. Based in Sylmar, California, Llamas Plastics is a for-profit manufacturer of goods classified under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 4610 (Airframe Structural Components), competing predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements rather than set-asides—only five of 1,439 total awards carry set-aside designations (Total Small Business or Woman-Owned Small Business designations).

Llamas Plastics' federal work concentrates heavily on Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) supply chain contracts. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count. DLA Aviation dominates by volume with 725 awards valued at $174.4 million combined potential value, while NAVSUP leads in dollar concentration with 57 awards totaling $225.7 million combined potential value. The Air Force and broader Department of the Navy round out the customer set. Recent representative work includes a $533,803.06 delivery order from DLA Aviation awarded December 2, 2025, for V-22 aircraft transparency canopies under a newly established IDC; a $12.1 million definitive contract from NAVSUP awarded June 17, 2025, for windshield panel components with completion through August 31, 2027; an $11.55 million definitive contract from NAVSUP also awarded June 17, 2025, for windshield panel replacement parts through August 31, 2027; and a $3.43 million definitive contract from DLA Aviation awarded March 7, 2024, for aircraft window panels through May 1, 2027.

Llamas Plastics holds an extensive portfolio of single-award IDCs with DLA Aviation and NAVSUP, with ceiling values ranging from $750 thousand to $30.8 million. The $30.8 million NAVSUP IDC, awarded September 22, 2022, covers repair, overhaul, and delivery of V-22 windshield assemblies and parts through September 22, 2027. Recent DLA Aviation IDCs include a $6.03 million contract awarded September 26, 2025, for V-22 aircraft components; a $7 million contract awarded May 23, 2025, for V-22 window panels through May 22, 2030; a $2 million contract awarded March 31, 2025, for transparency canopies; a $2 million contract awarded December 5, 2023, for movable canopies; and a $3.63 million contract awarded September 7, 2023, for transparency canopies and components. Llamas Plastics also maintains older IDCs with ceilings of $1 million to $2 million each, awarded between 2021 and 2023 and expiring between 2026 and 2028. Task orders and delivery orders flow regularly against these vehicles; the top five parent IDCs generated 98 combined task orders.

Activity has remained steady—averaging 30 to 38 awards per year from 2022 through 2025—with four awards recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Fourteen awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $30.4 million, presenting recompete exposure. Llamas Plastics subcontracts minimally; six sub-awards dating 2023 to 2024 flow to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for fixed and movable canopy work, with dollar values not specified in the source.
