Nasco Aircraft Brake, Inc.

Nasco Aircraft Brake, Inc., a subsidiary of Parker-Hannifin Corporation, manufactures specialized aerospace brake components—disc brakes, friction linings, hydraulic pistons, wheel assemblies, thermal fuse plugs, backing plates, stator tubes, and related brake system assemblies—exclusively for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive delivery orders. The company operates from a single manufacturing facility in Gardena, California, performs all work in-house without subcontractor engagement, and competes on firm fixed-price basis across its portfolio with no small business set-asides.

Nasco holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation: a primary vehicle awarded June 16, 2023, carrying a $4.42 million ceiling through June 15, 2028, and a secondary vehicle worth $831,992.48 through February 2026. Both contracts establish frameworks for procurement of aircraft disc brake components and related brake system assemblies supporting Department of Defense rotary and fixed-wing aircraft maintenance, repair, and fleet sustainment. The primary IDV has generated approximately $1.996 million in delivery orders to date across multiple line items. Recent representative work includes a $2.53 million delivery order for friction linings (NSN 8511621579, awarded September 5, 2025), a $1.43 million delivery order for heat stack kits (NSN 8510074355, awarded August 14, 2023), a $1.098 million delivery order for disc brakes (NSN 8509990585, awarded July 3, 2023), a $914.6 thousand delivery order for stator tubes, torque (NSN 8511589999, awarded August 21, 2025), and a $773.5 thousand delivery order for rotor disc brakes (NSN 8511368169, awarded May 8, 2025).

Customer concentration sits entirely with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation—731 awards representing $177.7 million in combined potential value account for 91% of recent awards and 90% of total potential value across the award portfolio. DLA Aviation dominates both volume and dollars; the five largest customer entities (DLA Aviation, DLA Troop Support, Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Complex, and Air Force Sustainment Center) collectively account for 98% of combined potential value. Place of performance is exclusively Gardena, California; all work occurs at the contractor's primary manufacturing facility.

Activity has been volatile over the past five years—ranging from 50 to 82 awards annually (2022: 52, 2023: 82, 2024: 50, 2025: 70, 2026: 12 year-to-date as of April 14, 2026)—with 1,164 total awards in source data spanning from May 15, 1983, through April 14, 2026. Combined potential value across all awards totals $198.4 million, with $123.6 million (62%) obligated to date. Forty-two awards carrying combined potential value of $7.4 million face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. The vendor holds no formal parent contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, agency-wide IDIQs) beyond its two DLA Aviation indefinite delivery contracts. All procurement flows through direct DLA Aviation delivery orders—delivery order awards account for approximately 70% of the portfolio, with the remainder as purchase orders issued under the IDV framework.

Nasco is categorized under NAICS 333613 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) across 861 awards, with secondary concentration in NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) on 49 awards. PSC coding reflects Aircraft Wheel and Brake Systems (891 awards), Hardware Commercial (89 awards), and Rivets (41 awards). The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its entire portfolio. As a subsidiary of Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation (the listed parent vendor in the source), Nasco operates as a specialized aerospace brake component manufacturer serving the U.S. military's aviation sustainment enterprise with no commercial or foreign military sales exposure in the source award data.
