Meggitt Aerospace LIMITED

Meggitt Aerospace LIMITED, operating as Meggitt Control Systems Coventry, is a foreign-owned manufacturer of specialized aerospace components that supplies the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders, with no set-asides available due to its ownership by UK-based Meggitt PLC (a subsidiary of Parker-Hannifin Corporation, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio).

The vendor's footprint centers on a single dominant parent vehicle: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A124G0001, valued at $9.999 million and valid through February 28, 2029. Meggitt holds 33 task orders under this BOA for a combined potential value of $903 thousand, placing delivery orders for landing gear wheels, brake components, hydraulic servovalves, valves, heat pack assemblies, fasteners (washers, bolts, rivets, pins), and packing materials. Beyond the primary BOA, the vendor also places work under three legacy DLA indefinite-delivery vehicles (SPE4AX13D9420, SPE4AX19D0009, and SPE4A119G0002), which collectively account for 282 task orders. Representative recent awards include a $797,093 delivery order for landing gear wheels (May 2022, DLA Aviation), a $438,740 order for landing gear wheels (June 2022), a $281,427 order for half landing gear wheels (June 2024), a $146,193 order from the Coast Guard for fusible plug sensor assemblies (May 2025), and an $81,487 order for a sleeve assembly (November 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation alone represents 405 of 531 total prime awards (76% of the footprint) and $1.06 billion of the $1.07 billion combined potential value (99% of dollars). The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard accounts for 17 awards valued at $1.6 million combined, and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command holds 5 awards worth $2.5 million combined. DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Troop Support Hardware round out the active set with 57 and 27 awards respectively, but carry minimal dollar value. This degree of customer concentration—with a single customer providing 76% of awards and 99% of potential value—signals substantial recompete risk if the vendor's DLA Aviation BOA position faces challenge. The vendor faces 11 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months and a combined recompete exposure of $176 thousand.

Meggitt's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on high-precision aerospace components manufactured to military specifications. The top NAICS categories are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (291 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (138 awards). By procurement classification (PSC), Aircraft Wheel and Brake Systems dominate at 248 awards, followed by Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components (48 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (28 awards), and fasteners such as nuts, washers, bolts, and shims (aggregating 44 awards). The vendor supplies landing gear wheels, brake backing plates, disc valves, hydraulic components, heat pack assemblies, valve inlet seats, cylinder assemblies, fasteners, and electrical solenoids. Activity has declined from a peak of 31 awards in 2022 to 4 awards in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting either a contraction in order volume under the primary BOA or a shift in how delivery orders are being recorded. The vendor has maintained an active federal contracting presence since 2005 and is a subsidiary of Parker-Hannifin Corporation, a global motion and control technologies manufacturer with extensive federal contracting operations. Meggitt received one recent subcontract award under Rolls-Royce Corporation (May 2025) for maintenance and related services under the CNATRA program, but subcontracting represents less than 1% of the vendor's footprint. The source notes that Meggitt has also historically supported Vertex Aerospace in defense programs.
