MP Aero LLC

MP Aero LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Lake Balboa, California, manufactures precision aviation and aerospace components for the Department of Defense supply chain as a prime contractor, specializing in cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, electrical leads, structural brackets, and mounting plates sold primarily under total small business set-asides through Defense Logistics Agency indefinite delivery contracts.

MP Aero is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods registered in SAM since March 2014. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor—all 673 awards in the source are prime contracts and IDCs, with no sub-award footprint. Approximately 60 percent of recent prime contract awards carry total small business set-aside designations; the remainder compete full-and-open. The company's small disadvantaged business certification anchors its federal posture to set-aside vehicles held by DLA and Army Contracting Command.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with Defense Logistics Agency divisions. DLA Aviation accounts for 588 awards ($16.5 million combined potential value), and DLA Land and Maritime for 72 awards ($2.6 million). Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment account for the remaining eleven awards and account for under $840 thousand combined. The top two customers represent approximately 100 percent of the award footprint by both count and dollar value. Recent work examples include a $426.2 million total small business set-aside purchase order for special-purpose cable assemblies awarded May 29, 2024; a $206.6 million total small business set-aside purchase order for structural support equipment awarded October 15, 2024; a $280.7 million full-and-open purchase order for engine main fixtures awarded July 9, 2025; and a $159.7 million total small business set-aside purchase order for branched wiring harnesses for Army M1A2 tank platform awarded September 26, 2025 by Army Contracting Command Warren.

MP Aero holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA, all designated total small business set-asides, with individual ceiling values ranging from approximately $159 thousand to $480 thousand and performance periods extending through 2030. The five highest-volume parent vehicles by task order count are DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime IDCs issued between 2023 and 2024, collectively carrying approximately $327 thousand in combined potential value across 44 task orders. Additional IDCs awarded in 2025 include a $350 thousand single-award IDC for bus conductor components (DLA Aviation, awarded December 12, 2025), a $250 thousand single-award IDC for power cable assemblies (DLA Aviation, awarded July 23, 2025), a $250 thousand single-award IDC for resilient mounting plates (DLA Land and Maritime, awarded August 18, 2025), a $250 thousand single-award IDC for shouldered shafts (DLA Land and Maritime, awarded August 7, 2025), a $250 thousand single-award IDC for cable assemblies (DLA Aviation, awarded September 15, 2025), a $159.3 thousand single-award IDC for branched wiring harnesses (Army Contracting Command Warren, awarded September 24, 2025), and a basic ordering agreement for Class IX supplies with Army Contracting Command Warren effective April 3, 2026 through April 1, 2031 carrying no stated ceiling.

Activity has fluctuated year-over-year, with 177 awards in 2023, declining to 105 in 2024, recovering to 120 in 2025, and 19 visible in 2026 year-to-date through mid-April. The company faces recompete exposure: 48 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.6 million. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $12.7 million against $20 million combined potential value (64 percent obligation rate), suggesting the vendor has invoiced roughly two-thirds of contracted value to date. The source contains no subcontractor relationships or formal teaming arrangements; MP Aero operates as an independent prime manufacturer and supplier to DLA and Army programs. Capability work spans electrical and mechanical components—cable assemblies (power, radio frequency, special-purpose), wiring harnesses and branched electrical assemblies, electrical leads and connectors, structural brackets and mounting plates, resilient mounting plates, shouldered shafts, and specialized aviation hardware including fixtures, maintenance kits, and housings. Award denominations range from under $2 thousand to over $426 million, with the vast majority of individual task orders and purchase orders valued between $5 thousand and $100 thousand.
