Meggitt Safety Systems Inc.

Meggitt Safety Systems Inc., a division of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and a manufacturer of aerospace and defense electro-mechanical components, operates as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) supplying safety-critical detection systems, actuators, and cable assemblies to the Department of Defense and related logistics agencies. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open contracts with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Meggitt Safety Systems is headquartered in Simi Valley, California, with performance locations including Santa Susana, California, and operates under primary NAICS 336413 (Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and supporting NAICS categories covering detection systems, electronic components, and communications equipment.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex and the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customer agencies by award count coverage account for 87% of recent awards, with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominating volume at 1,141 awards (combined potential value $93.3 million) and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex commanding the dollar ranking with 44 awards carrying $119.9 million in combined potential value — a pronounced split between volume and dollars that reflects the mix of high-value aircraft actuator programs with the Ogden complex alongside numerous smaller-dollar detection and component procurements through DLA Aviation. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (76 awards, $4.1 million) and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (162 awards, $5 million) round out the active set.

Meggitt Safety Systems' capability portfolio centers on fire detection systems, smoke alarms, bleed air detectors, F-16 and canopy actuators, and specialized cable assemblies. Recent representative prime awards include a $4.96 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Defense Aviation for automated smoke alarm systems (awarded February 5, 2026, performing through September 3, 2027), a $3.4 million definitive contract from the Ogden Air Logistics Complex for F-16 actuators awarded September 19, 2025, a $1.53 million delivery order for canopy actuators from Ogden awarded June 8, 2022, and a $1.02 million definitive contract for F-16 actuators from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded July 1, 2024. Smaller purchase orders from Naval Supply Systems Command include $79.2 thousand for a fire detection trainer system (September 10, 2025), $28.6 thousand for fire/overheat detection components (September 9, 2025), and $21.8 thousand for a bleed air detector (September 9, 2025). Top prime contract PSC categories reflect this focus: 444 awards carry PSC codes for aircraft alarm and signal systems, 370 for miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, and 268 for cable and wire assemblies.

Activity has grown sharply in recent years — three awards in 2022 to 133 in 2024, with 24 in 2025 and one in 2026 — though the 2024 spike appears to reflect a wave of smaller-dollar DLA Aviation purchase orders rather than sustained high volume. Five awards (combined potential value $9.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. Meggitt Safety Systems operates under multiple Defense Logistics Agency and Air Force indefinite delivery vehicles, with the most active being Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRHA409D0004 (14 task orders, $18.2 million combined potential value) and SPE4A715D0371 (18 task orders, $923 thousand).

In its subcontractor role, Meggitt Safety Systems delivers electro-mechanical actuators, fire detectors, and cable assemblies to major defense primes. Named subcontract relationships include Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (fire detectors on V-22 Nacelle Improvements and CMV-22 production and performance-based logistics; multiple awards from March 2025 through December 2025), Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (electrical penetrations and cable assemblies on CVN 80/81 carrier detailed design and construction, with extensive March through May 2024 awards), The Boeing Company (electro-mechanical and hydraulic components on F-15EX lots 4–7, Apache full-rate production, and performance-based logistics; awards from February through August 2025), Lockheed Martin Corporation (RF transmission line cable assemblies on THAAD interceptor production for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, MK21A reentry vehicle engineering and production, and Trident missile systems; awards from January 2023 through September 2024), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (metallic and welded assemblies, fabricated structural metal, and aircraft engine parts for E-2D Advanced Hawkeye; awards from March through October 2025), and Raytheon Company (delay lines for AN/TPY-2 radar and RF cable assemblies for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia radar production; awards from March through November 2025). Sub-awards span both commercial and foreign military sales programs.

Meggitt Safety Systems brings more than two decades of established federal contractor status since 2002, with a track record supplying the Air Force Materiel Command, Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command. As a division of Parker-Hannifin Corporation, the vendor operates within a larger aerospace and defense manufacturing ecosystem with access to parent-company capabilities in hydraulics, electro-mechanical systems, and component fabrication. The vendor does not hold SBA certifications visible in the source and competes on open-market contracts across its prime footprint; however, the sub-award footprint demonstrates substantial participation in large-scale defense platform production and support.
