Millennium Aerospace And Defense

Millennium Aerospace And Defense, doing business as Blodgett Professional Engineering, manufactures precision-engineered aerospace and aviation components for military aircraft logistics and sustainment as a small business prime contractor, with 564 federal awards spanning purchase orders and two indefinite delivery contracts totaling $17.3 million in combined potential value since 2017.

The vendor is a Subchapter S Corporation and small business manufacturer based in Cameron Park, California, competing predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designation on approximately 50 to 60 percent of awards) alongside set-aside work (40 to 50 percent carry total small business set-asides). The company manufactures structural supports, ring assemblies, cylinder assemblies, hydraulic components, landing gear parts, aircraft fairings, shock absorber components, retainer plates, fasteners, pistons, brackets, channels, fittings, covers, hinges, and other mission-critical spare parts. Recent representative work includes a $102.3 million Government First Article Test for DLA Aviation awarded January 15, 2026; a $189.97 million Government First Article Test also for DLA Aviation awarded August 27, 2025; a $177.8 million total small business set-aside purchase order for airflow baffles from DLA Land and Maritime awarded November 7, 2025; and a $125.6 million first article test from DLA Aviation awarded August 9, 2025. The company also holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation—one valued at $250 thousand with an ultimate completion date of September 9, 2029, and a second valued at $2.5 million with a completion date of October 30, 2030, both set aside for total small business participation and covering diverse aircraft parts and assemblies.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Defense Logistics Agency (across all divisions) accounts for all 564 awards and 100 percent of combined potential value. Within DLA, Aviation dominates with 449 awards and $13.8 million in combined potential value; DLA Land and Maritime places 87 awards valued at $2.8 million; Troop Support Construction and Equipment places 20 awards valued at $630 thousand; and Troop Support Hardware places 8 awards valued at $100 thousand. The vendor has no diversification beyond DLA and no work with any other federal agency.

Activity has grown significantly year-over-year—53 awards in 2022 to 137 in 2025—with 56 awards posted in the first quarter of 2026 alone. Awards per year accelerated 174 percent from 2022 to 2025. However, 147 awards with combined potential value of $5.9 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and will recompete in that window, representing material recompete exposure for the vendor and significant opportunity for competitors already holding or pursuing DLA relationships.

The company performs all manufacturing and delivery activities directly at its Cameron Park facility with no identified subcontractors across the full award portfolio, indicating full vertical integration and direct accountability for quality and schedule. Approximately 73 percent of awards are purchase orders ranging from $2,500 to $189,971; the remainder span Government First Article Tests, Contractor First Article Tests, and Definitive Contracts, all priced firm fixed-price. Category concentration reflects the vendor's narrow focus: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 336413) accounts for 411 awards, with Airframe Structural Components (PSC) dominating at 283 awards.

Millennium Aerospace And Defense competes exclusively within DLA's small business and full-and-open procurement channels, leveraging its small business status and manufacturing footprint to supply high-volume, discrete aerospace hardware to sustain U.S. military aircraft fleet readiness. The vendor's competitive posture hinges on DLA relationship depth, manufacturing speed and quality on firm fixed-price terms, and ability to manage rapid procurement velocity—the company processed 137 awards in 2025 alone, averaging roughly one purchase order every three days. Growth trajectory and recompete cliff exposure make the vendor an active and visible player in DLA's aircraft parts supply base.
