Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc.

Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc., doing business as KLX Aerospace Solutions, is a subsidiary of The Boeing Company that supplies aerospace fasteners, hardware, and component consumables to the Department of Defense on a full-and-open basis as a prime contractor. The vendor is headquartered in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, with place of performance across Miami Lakes and operates no SBA set-asides; all recent awards carry no set-aside designation and compete in unrestricted federal procurement.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on routine purchase orders and delivery orders for low- to mid-value aerospace components—blind rivets, shear bolts, washers, o-rings, springs, gaskets, preformed packing, seals, fasteners, and mechanical hardware. Representative recent work includes a $156,720 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for 60 units of spark gas igniters (awarded April 8, 2026); a $265,290 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 717 filter element units (awarded March 30, 2026); and a $177,462 purchase order for preformed packing material, 13,303 units (awarded April 2, 2026). A single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation, ceiling $350,000, was awarded March 26, 2026, for collar pin-rivet components with a one-year term; that contract anchors broader access to DLA ordering.

Customer concentration is acute and monolithic: the Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 98% of recent awards (47,667 of 47,938 total), with DLA Aviation alone representing 27,082 awards and $249.8 million in combined potential value. The second-largest customer, DLA Troop Support Hardware, carries 14,845 awards and $108.1 million. DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment round out the top four. This concentration reflects the vendor's core role as a qualified inventory supplier within DLA's supply chain network, not a prime on large systems integrations or development contracts. The Coast Guard awarded one purchase order in May 2026 for 750 blind rivets to support MH-65 aircraft ($12,412.50), the only non-DLA prime award in the source window.

The vendor holds no position on government-wide contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs named in the source); all recent work flows through DLA single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts, with the top vehicle (Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4AX20D9412) carrying 5,963 task orders and $7.8 million combined potential value. The vendor's NAICS concentration skews heavily toward fastener and hardware manufacturing: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (18,864 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (9,471), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (2,071) dominate the portfolio. PSC codes reflect the same pattern—Nuts and Washers (7,471 awards), Screws (7,187), Rivets (7,041), and Bolts (4,389).

Activity has declined materially from 2024 to 2026: the vendor received 5,473 awards in 2024, 3,319 in 2025, and 551 year-to-date in 2026 (through May 27). This trajectory suggests either a sampling artifact in the source data or a contraction in DLA ordering volumes—the vendor's dependent-supplier status on a monolithic customer base creates acute recompete risk. The next twenty-four months expose 350 awards with combined potential value of $3.2 million reaching ultimate completion; most are sub-million individual transactions and routine consumables orders vulnerable to consolidation, source competition, or customer sourcing shifts.

The vendor operates as a sub to Honeywell International on Honeywell defense contracts, with sub-awards for power turbine stator feedback cable assemblies, bearings, and clamps; these three sub-awards (May 2026, May 2026, April 2026) signal secondary access to aerospace prime integrators but do not materially scale the footprint. The vendor's posture is transactional and inventory-focused—no development contracts, no fixed-price system builds, no cost-plus awards, and no classified or advanced-capability work appear in the source—making it a pure supply-chain play within DLA's consumables ecosystem rather than a systems contractor or program partner.
