M.s. Aerospace Inc.

M.S. Aerospace Inc., doing business as MS Aerospace Inc., is a small for-profit manufacturing company headquartered in Sylmar, California, that specializes in the production of precision aerospace fasteners, components, and hardware critical to military aircraft maintenance and logistics operations. Registered in the System for Award Management since February 2002, the company brings over 50 years of manufacturing expertise to the federal contracting landscape. MS Aerospace serves as a prime contractor to federal defense agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and also performs subcontract work for major aerospace and defense corporations. The company has established itself as a key supplier of specialized fastening products essential for maintaining military readiness and operational effectiveness across the Department of Defense.

MS Aerospace has received well over 50 prime federal contract awards and delivery orders since 2020, with contract values ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $850,000, primarily from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime divisions. The company's primary deliverables consist of an extensive variety of aerospace fasteners, including machine bolts, tee head bolts, shear bolts, shoulder bolts, close tolerance bolts, externally relieved bolts, internally relieved bolts, eccentric head bolts, eye bolts, gas turbine bolts, and specialized studs and pins such as shouldered studs, swirl plate studs, recessed studs, and headless shoulder pins. Beyond fasteners, MS Aerospace has also supplied socket head cap screws and close tolerance screws to support DLA requirements. Approximately 40-45% of the company's prime contract awards have been designated as small business set-asides, demonstrating the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in the defense industrial base. The remaining awards have been competitively bid without set-aside restrictions. MS Aerospace has consistently performed work at its Sylmar, California facility and has successfully met completion dates ranging from short turnaround delivery orders to multi-year performance periods extending through 2027. The company's subcontract portfolio includes work with major aerospace and defense primes including Aerojet Rocketdyne, Honeywell International, General Electric, and Northrop Grumman, notably supplying bolts and fastening hardware for the RS-25 rocket engine program and various aviation engine applications, which demonstrates the company's capability to meet exacting quality and performance standards for high-profile aerospace initiatives.

MS Aerospace currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, each valued at $250,000 and collectively representing up to $750,000 in procurement authority. The first IDV, awarded on June 3, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of June 2, 2026, is for the supply of machine bolts without small business set-aside designation and has generated multiple delivery orders totaling over $16,000 to date. The second IDV, awarded on January 27, 2022, with completion through January 26, 2025, is designated as a total small business set-aside and covers the supply of tee head bolts and related aerospace fasteners. The third IDV, awarded on October 31, 2022, with performance through October 30, 2025, is also set aside for small businesses and covers machine bolts and standard aerospace hardware. These indefinite delivery vehicle arrangements allow DLA Aviation to efficiently procure recurring requirements for critical aviation parts and equipment on an as-needed basis, enabling rapid fulfillment of spare parts requirements through delivery orders issued to MS Aerospace as the prime vendor. Collectively, the IDV delivery orders issued to date total well over $61,000, with orders continuing to be placed under these vehicles to support military aircraft maintenance and logistics operations across the Department of Defense.
