Patlon Aircraft & Industries LTD

Patlon Aircraft & Industries LTD, a Canadian for-profit defense contractor based in Halton Hills, Ontario, supplies protective equipment and military logistics components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing under full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The company has held federal contractor registration since October 2001 and maintains three active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and authorizing approximately 12 annual delivery orders.

Patlon's customer footprint is heavily concentrated within Defense Logistics Agency divisions. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 81 awards and $2.5 million in combined potential value, while DLA Aviation represents 67 awards and $1.1 million; these two divisions together represent 98% of recent awards and 92% of combined potential value. The DLA's Troop Support Construction and Equipment and Hardware divisions account for the remaining measurable activity. The vendor holds no material exposure to civilian agencies or Army prime activity beyond DLA ordering.

Patlon's capability portfolio is anchored in tarpaulin supply across multiple National Stock Numbers (8510920511, 8510870283, 8510550182, 8510330115, and variants). Recent representative awards include a $147.9 million delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for tarpaulin equipment (awarded December 2023), a $53.9 million delivery order for tarpaulins (August 2025), and a $44.8 million firm fixed-price purchase order for 73 units of tarpaulin to DLA Distribution Red River (January 2026). Beyond tarpaulins, Patlon supplies electrical components (electromagnet relays, panel lights, LED lamps), vehicular lighting and fixtures, terminal assemblies, circuit card assemblies, and miscellaneous hardware. NAICS concentration splits across Textile Bag and Canvas Mills (40 awards) and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (35 awards), with PSC concentration in Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (47 awards) and Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies (29 awards).

Activity has declined substantially. The vendor received 14 awards in 2022, dropping to 2 in 2023, 4 in 2024, and 5 in 2025, with 2 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 185 awards stands at $4.3 million, with $3.2 million already obligated (76% realization). Two subcontract awards with General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. (awarded April 2025) cover Maneuver Short Range Air Defense System and Stryker DVH A1 ECP vehicle procurement, representing less than 1% of Patlon's footprint. The three active DLA IDCs expire between October 2025 and January 2027, with the most recent IDC awarded January 2, 2026, indicating ongoing renewal cycles but a deteriorating trajectory in annual order volume.
