About the company
MD Helicopters, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Mesa, Arizona, manufactures and supports light utility helicopters (MD 500, MD 530, MD 530F, MD 600N series) and supplies aviation components and repair services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (28% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Boeing and Lockheed Martin (72% of recent awards). The company competes full-and-open on most prime work; no set-asides characterize its footprint, though two recent prime awards were explicitly labeled small disadvantaged business awards.
MD Helicopters' customer base is heavily concentrated in Department of Defense aviation programs. The top customer by both award count and dollar value is the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation, which accounts for 25 of 39 total awards and the full $1.46 billion in combined potential value. United States Special Operations Command contributes 10 awards (dollar magnitude not separately itemized in the top-customer block). The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services and the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center round out the federal customer set with two and one award respectively. This concentration is extreme — a single Army program effectively represents the entire prime dollar footprint, while sub work is dispersed across multiple primes.
On the prime side, MD Helicopters delivers complete aircraft and postproduction sustainment. Representative work includes a $13.555 million firm fixed-price contract awarded April 1, 2024, to provide postproduction sustainment support, integrated product support, spares, and component repair for 12 MD 530F aircraft in Saudi Arabia through a Foreign Military Sales arrangement; an $5.8 million delivery order for procurement of one MD 530 and one MD 530F aircraft with transportation, also FMS, awarded August 29, 2023; a $2.85 million purchase order from USDA Wildlife Services for delivery of one MD 530F utility helicopter to support feral swine damage management, awarded December 7, 2023 as a total small business set-aside; and a $4.882 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded April 25, 2026, for aviation spares, parts, and service for Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Lebanon. Most prime awards flow through indefinite delivery contracts: 10 task orders under H9225417D0001 and 3 task orders under W58RGZ17D0089 ($38.4 million combined potential value).
Activity has grown substantially year over year — one award in 2019, six in 2023, then fourteen each in 2024 and 2025 — before dropping to one award in 2026 year-to-date, though the April 25, 2026 award carries a ceiling through April 2029. As a subcontractor, MD Helicopters supplies component assemblies (vertical stabilizer assemblies, tail boom assemblies, engine doors, production follower assemblies, co-pilot collective assemblies, duct assemblies) and postproduction support services to Boeing and Lockheed Martin in support of Saudi Arabia Ministry of National Guard aircraft and Army Aviation Training Program operations; recent Boeing-routed sub work spans common aerospace commodities under PPSS for the Saudi fleet, while Lockheed Martin subs focus on MELB 6R helicopter component production and TAPO logistical support. One sub award from Defense Systems and Solutions involves application of APKWS and anti-jamming GPS capabilities on MD 530F helicopters. Combined obligated dollars stand at $453.4 million (31% of the $1.46 billion potential value), signaling that most of the recent award base remains in execution or pending task order burn.
