Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc.

Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc., doing business as KLX Aerospace Solutions, supplies aerospace fasteners, hardware, and component consumables to the Department of Defense as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, competing on a full-and-open basis without SBA set-asides across routine purchase orders and delivery orders. Headquartered in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, the vendor operates as a qualified inventory supplier within the Defense Logistics Agency's supply-chain ecosystem rather than as a systems integrator or prime contractor on major programs.

The vendor's federal footprint is hyperconcentrated in DLA purchasing. Of 48,733 total awards across the source dataset spanning 1991 to August 2026, 48,446 (99%) are prime awards, with 287 subcontract awards (1%). The top five DLA customer divisions account for 98% of all awards by count and 68% by combined potential value: DLA Aviation leads at 27,808 awards and $254.3 million combined potential value; DLA Troop Support Hardware follows at 14,845 awards and $108.1 million; DLA Land and Maritime holds 2,639 awards and $25.4 million; DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment carries 2,207 awards and $23.2 million; and general DLA accounts for 490 awards and $3.2 million. This concentration reflects the vendor's transactional role: individual awards cluster in the low- to mid-thousands-of-dollars range, with a combined potential value across all 48,733 awards of $610.6 million and obligated value of $194.7 million (32% of potential). The source explicitly notes 98 percent of recent awards flow through DLA.

Recent awards exemplify the vendor's core offering. Representative purchase orders from June and July 2026 include a $718,707 Parts Kit, Regulator order (July 16, 2026, DLA Aviation, delivery to DLA Distribution Cherry Point within 475 days); a $147,462.12 Seal Assembly order (July 9, 2026, DLA Aviation, 704 units across four line items, 177-day delivery); a $61,036.80 Ball Annular Bearings order (June 29, 2026, DLA Aviation, 340 units, 164-day delivery); a $52,027.20 Annular Ball Bearings order (June 23, 2026, DLA Aviation); and dozens of sub-$20,000 orders for screws, bolts, rivets, washers, studs, pins, springs, gaskets, seals, bearings, and related components. All carry no set-aside designation and firm fixed pricing. Work is performed in Miami Lakes, Florida.

The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (4610135578, ceiling $350,000, awarded April 23, 2026, completion April 23, 2027) for blind rivets and related fasteners under PSC 53 (Hardware and Abrasives), with a guaranteed minimum of 76 units and an estimated four orders per year. The top parent vehicles in the source reflect DLA's internal indefinite delivery infrastructure: IDC SPE4AX20D9412 carries 6,014 task orders and $8.3 million combined potential value; IDC SPM4AX13D9402 holds 1,418 task orders and $9.3 million; IDC SPE4A517D0015 contains 506 task orders and $2.2 million. These vehicles serve as the transactional conduit for the vendor's routine consumables ordering rather than as competitive GWACs or agency-wide blanket purchase agreements open to broader market competition.

NAICS and PSC coding confirms the product scope. The top NAICS categories are Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722, 19,236 awards), Hardware Manufacturing (9,633 awards), Sign Manufacturing (6,063 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (2,094 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (2,055 awards). The top PSC codes are Nuts and Washers (7,542 awards), Screws (7,381 awards), Rivets (7,118 awards), Bolts (4,542 awards), and Packing and Gasket Materials (3,474 awards). The vendor's product portfolio mirrors standard inventory items in military aerospace supply chains: fasteners, seals, bearings, springs, gaskets, and mechanical hardware.

Activity has declined from a 2024 peak. Awards per year totaled 5,473 in 2024, dropped to 3,324 in 2025, and further to 1,341 through August 2026. The vendor faces a recompete cliff of 446 awards (combined potential value $4.5 million) completing in the next twenty-four months. The vendor also holds a subcontractor footprint under Honeywell International Inc., performing supply of aircraft engine components and helicopter subsystems (TIGER III PDO 17 CAP Assembly, TIGER III PDO 16 Pressure Switch, and CH-47 engine cooler kits in support of Germany and Spain operations, awards dated August 8–27, 2026). The subcontract work aligns with the vendor's hardware and component supply capability but remains negligible relative to the prime DLA footprint (1% of total awards).
