NAV Aids LTD

NAV Aids LTD, an Ottawa-based Canadian manufacturer of aviation test equipment and specialized aircraft components, serves the federal government as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) supplying pitot-static testers, pressure adapters, air data accessory kits, and related diagnostic equipment to military aviation programs with no set-aside posture across its portfolio.

The company's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for 82% of recent awards. DLA Aviation alone drives the prime footprint with 332 awards valued at $5.5 million combined potential value, supported by a single-award indefinite delivery contract worth $662,541.53 running through December 2026. The secondary customer tier includes the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (68 awards, $1.5 million), Naval Air Warfare Center (19 awards, $999 thousand), the U.S. Coast Guard (17 awards, $354 thousand), and DLA Land and Maritime (101 awards, $333 thousand). This concentration reflects NAV Aids' role as a specialized supplier of aircraft diagnostic and maintenance equipment rather than a broad-based contractor.

NAV Aids LTD also holds a second strategic vehicle—a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command valued at $118,317.36 through May 2027, focused on pressure adapters and related components for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Recent delivery orders under this Army contract have reached $62,790. The vendor's top parent vehicle, IDC SPE4A622D0057, carries 53 task orders valued at $485 thousand. The company's NAICS footprint centers on aircraft parts manufacturing (285 awards) and aviation system instrumentation (47 awards), with PSC classification skewed heavily toward aircraft maintenance and repair shop specialized equipment (386 awards).

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years, ranging from 31 awards in 2022 to a high of 60 in 2024, with 44 awards recorded in 2025. Combined potential value across the full prime and sub portfolio sits at $9.8 million, though obligated dollars total $10.7 million, indicating the vendor has performed slightly above stated contract ceilings on average. The company's subcontractor footprint is minimal—only ten sub-awards (1% of total) but notable for teaming with Canadian Commercial Corporation on five UH-60 Black Hawk pressure adapter IDIQ contracts (August 2025) and with BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration on F-16 support equipment adapters and pitot-static test kits for Morocco and operational test programs (February through May 2024). NAV Aids LTD competes in full-and-open procurements exclusively; no awards carry small business set-asides. The vendor has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2002 and operates from its primary facility at 2323 Riverside Drive in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with work performed at that location across the contract portfolio.
