Marvel Aero International, Inc.

Marvel Aero International, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Phoenix, Arizona, manufactures and sells aircraft battery maintenance automation equipment to the Department of Defense and related federal agencies as a prime contractor on 95% of recent awards. The company is a small business that competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open contract vehicles, with set-asides appearing on roughly 40% of its recent prime footprint.

Marvel Aero's core capability is the design and manufacture of battery charging, discharging, and analysis equipment for military aircraft platforms. The company produces specialized products including the CASP 2500H battery charger/analyzer (used on F-22 and other platforms), the RF80-M aircraft battery charger/analyzer (a Christie Electric model that Marvel stocks and services), the ABMS-10X automated battery management system, and battery discharge boosters used across rotorcraft and fixed-wing fleets. Representative work includes a $141,075 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Air Force in January 2026 for battery chargers (NSN 6130015238651) with completion in June 2026; a $131,965 purchase order from U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa in April 2024 for electric battery charging systems; a $218,010 purchase order from Air Education and Training Command in February 2024 for an ABMS-10X system with nine Christie RF80-M chargers; and a $231,836 purchase order from Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in August 2022 for U-2 breakout program battery equipment. Beyond purchase orders, Marvel holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $595,077.47 IDC with Air Force Sustainment Center (awarded May 2022, running through September 2026) for repair and maintenance of battery charging and analysis equipment, and a $250,000 IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (awarded August 2024, running through August 2025) for battery discharger procurement.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense logistics and Air Force supply chain organizations. The top five customer agencies account for 61% of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by volume with 96 awards ($1.9 million combined potential value), followed by U.S. Coast Guard (29 awards, $482 thousand), Air Force Sustainment Center (28 awards, $2 million), Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (26 awards, $2.2 million), and DLA Aviation (14 awards, $516 thousand). When ranked by potential dollar value, Air Force Materiel Command and Air Force Sustainment Center together account for $4.2 million (35% of the company's $12 million total portfolio). The company serves 48 distinct federal agencies across Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and NASA, but the Air Force and Defense Logistics Agency together represent the overwhelming majority of dollars and volume.

Marvel's subcontract footprint is limited (5% of awards), but carries significant scale in rotorcraft programs. The company subcontracts to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems on MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-9B production, delivering discharge booster units (CDC-65 model) and battery chargers in support of both U.S. Navy and foreign military sales; recent sub awards include a December 2025 undefinitized contract action for CDC-65 discharge boosters, a September 2025 award for ground control stations support, and a February 2025 award for MQ-9 Reaper Italy Foreign Military Sales mid-life modernization. Marvel also subcontracts to BAE Systems on F-16 support equipment (battery charger-analyzer work in May 2025) and to Lockheed Martin on MQ-9 programs (October 2024). Smaller sub engagements include work to Torch Technologies on Army simulation facilities and to Mriglobal on biocontainment unit support.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years (20 awards in 2022, declining to 14 in 2023, rising to 29 in 2024, then declining to 15 in 2025, with only 2 awards dated into 2026 in the source). The company's $595,077.47 Air Force Sustainment Center IDC and $250,000 DLA Land and Maritime IDC are the primary work vehicles; Marvel also operates under multiple Air Force IDIQs (FA810306D0094, FA811911D0020, FA811716D0027, FA811711D0012) with 11, 11, 7, and 5 task orders respectively. The recompete cliff is minimal — only one award ($45 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Marvel's product footprint centers on converters and electrical power distribution equipment (132 awards across PSC 6115—Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating) and miscellaneous electrical assemblies, reflecting the battery automation and charging system character of its work. The company has maintained a federal contracting presence since at least 2003 and demonstrates deep supplier relationships across Air Force logistics centers, DLA depots, and Coast Guard aviation operations.
