Parts Life Inc.

Parts Life Inc., a minority-owned Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey, manufactures reverse-engineered and obsolescence-managed aviation and aerospace components for defense platforms including F-16 fighters, V-22 Ospreys, and naval aviation systems, operating almost entirely as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) on full-and-open and set-aside basis across the Department of Defense.

The vendor competes across both full-and-open and set-aside procurement categories—total small business set-asides recur across roughly 40% of the prime footprint, with the remainder issued on unrestricted basis. Parts Life Inc. holds minority-owned and Subchapter S corporation designations; a named subsidiary, Deval Life Cycle Support LLC, is also minority-owned.

Parts Life Inc. delivers concrete aviation and aerospace component capabilities anchored in reverse engineering, rapid obsolescence management, and customized parts manufacturing. Representative work spans turbine plug assemblies, spring wire support components, engine block assemblies, inlet fittings, constant speed drives, wiring harnesses, metallic aircraft seals, and specialized electronic components for military aircraft platforms. Three representative prime contracts illustrate the scope: a $4.63 million delivery order from the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center (May 2026) for CSU harness kits under the F-16 Harness IDIQ through December 2027; a $12.578 million definitive contract from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (September 2025) for LET fixture stand kits through February 2028; and a $3.26 million definitive contract from the U.S. Air Force (October 2025) for roller chain links through September 2027.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 86% of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by volume (107 awards, $16.6 million), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (84 awards, $9.8 million), Naval Air Warfare Center (72 awards, $74.2 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (32 awards, $3 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (25 awards, $41.4 million). However, the dollars rankings diverge sharply: Naval Sea Systems Command dominates by potential value ($82.62 billion across 23 awards), followed by Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex ($1.8 billion across 5 awards), then Naval Air Warfare Center ($74.2 million). The Naval Sea Systems Command concentration reflects a single large Indefinite Delivery Contract placeholder vehicle (SPE4A222D0003) with multiple task orders; the actual obligated value across all awards is $97.6 million, representing less than 0.2% of the combined potential value figure.

Parts Life Inc. holds or sits on multiple parent vehicle platforms. The F-16 Harness IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex carries a $1.8 billion ceiling through December 2030 under total small business set-aside, with approximately $2.33 million in delivery orders issued to date. The Naval Air Warfare Center Blanket Purchase Agreement (awarded December 2024, modified from the January 2023 BPA) carries a $9 million ceiling through December 2029 on unrestricted basis. A second Naval Air Warfare Center BPA from January 2023 holds $5 million ceiling through January 2028. The Naval Supply Systems Command established a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (July 2023 through July 2028, $0 ceiling). The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command holds a $7.5 million multiple-award BPA through December 2027. Parts Life Inc. also holds indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($1.459 billion ceiling through December 2026, total small business set-aside) and appears on Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime IDCs. An Army Contracting Command Warren Basic Ordering Agreement (April 2026) covers Class IX supplies through August 2031 under no set-aside. Recent task orders under the top parent vehicles cluster around Naval Sea Systems Command IDC N6833519D0256 (11 task orders, $7.6 million), Naval Sea Systems Command IDC N6833518D0071 (11 task orders, $1.1 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation IDC SPE4A222D0003 (29 task orders, $105 thousand).

Activity has grown year over year from 40 awards in 2022 to 62 in 2023, declined to 34 in 2024, rebounded to 57 in 2025, with 27 awards issued in 2026 to date. Thirty-four awards carrying combined potential value of $39.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a material recompete cliff for the vendor and a competitive opportunity signal for rivals.

In its subcontractor role, Parts Life Inc. engages with V2X Aerospace LLC (three sub-awards for F-5 aircraft maintenance as of October 2025) and The Boeing Company (two recent subs for aerospace support in August 2025). The subcontract footprint is minimal—only six sub-awards across the entire award history, representing 2% of total activity—indicating Parts Life operates predominantly as a direct prime to federal buyers rather than as a sub.

Capability portfolio concentration by NAICS and PSC reflects the vendor's core strength in specialized components: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing leads at 77 awards, followed by Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (33 awards), Bolt/Nut/Screw/Rivet/Washer Manufacturing (21 awards), Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (21 awards), and Gasket/Packing/Sealing Device Manufacturing (19 awards). PSC concentration mirrors this distribution, with Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (29 awards), Hose/Pipe/Tube/Lubrication/Railing Fittings (21 awards), and Packing and Gasket Materials (20 awards) anchoring the vendor's service profile.
