Rockmart Fuel Containment, LLC

Axillon Aerospace (Rockmart), LLC Composites & Fuel Containment Division manufactures specialized aircraft fuel system components and structural aerospace assemblies for the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurement, operating as a subsidiary of Meggitt PLC. The division competes exclusively without set-asides and holds substantial single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Air Force Sustainment Center; the government has determined that Axillon Aerospace and American Fuel Cell and Coated Fabrics Company are the only two qualified sources capable of meeting precise technical specifications for critical military aircraft fuel cells and tanks.

The Composites & Fuel Containment Division's concrete capability portfolio centers on manufacturing aircraft fuel tanks, fuel cells, fuel bladders, structural panels, and related aerospace components for military aviation platforms. Representative prime work includes a $14.2 million sole-source definitive contract awarded by the Air Force Sustainment Center in September 2025 for B-52 fuel cells (five configurations, 115 units total); a $15.4 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command in August 2025 for aircraft fuel tanks with completion through May 2028; and a $3.7 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command in September 2025 for aircraft fuel tanks. The division also holds seven single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Air Force Sustainment Center, awarded April 2025, with combined ceiling values reaching $100.1 million and performance through April 2028, procuring KC-135 fuel cells and related components across multiple configurations and delivery schedules.

Customer concentration is dominated by military logistics and sustainment agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by award count and dollar volume (602 awards, $569.7 million combined potential value), followed closely by the Department of Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (443 awards, $410.9 million), the Air Force Sustainment Center (116 awards, $280.7 million), and the Air Force Materiel Command (42 awards, $122 million and 58 awards at Ogden Air Logistics Complex for $65.1 million). These five customers account for 96% of combined potential value across the broader Axillon Aerospace parent portfolio. The division's prime work flows almost entirely through DLA Aviation, NAVSUP, and Air Force Sustainment Center channels; subcontract activity routes through major airframe primes including Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, The Boeing Company, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, and Bell Textron Inc., supporting V-22, CH-47, AH-64, MH-60, and next-generation vertical lift platforms.

The division operates under a primary vehicle position on Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA115G003X (116 task orders, $185.8 million combined potential value) and holds indefinite delivery contracts SPRPA120D010X (36 task orders, $58.4 million), N0038399D010N (34 task orders), and multiple single-award IDCs with the Air Force Sustainment Center. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months totals 58 awards with combined potential value of $117.9 million, concentrated in fuel cell and fuel tank delivery orders from DLA Aviation, NAVSUP, and Air Force Sustainment Center.

Activity has increased sharply over the past two years, from 37 awards in 2022 to 150 in 2025, reflecting growth in defense aircraft sustainment demand. The division's subcontractor footprint includes relationships with Bell Boeing (V-22 fuel cell systems, fairings, de-ice blankets), The Boeing Company (CH-47 and Apache aircraft components), Sikorsky Aircraft (CH-53K and MH-60T components), and Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA test and qualification work). Recent sub-awards are concentrated in composite structures, thermal management, and fuel containment systems across rotary-wing platforms. The broader Axillon Aerospace parent entity has been registered as a federal contractor since 2001 and operates from its Rockmart, Georgia manufacturing facility, where the Composites & Fuel Containment Division maintains specialized production, testing, and qualification capabilities for source-controlled aerospace components meeting military airworthiness and performance standards.
