Projects Unlimited Inc.

Projects Unlimited Inc. NA Division manufactures printed wiring assemblies, electronic components, and aircraft system components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open defense contracts (87% of awards), with concentrated work in Naval Supply Systems Command procurement and subcontract roles under major aerospace primes. The company is a for-profit corporate entity based in Dayton, Ohio, with over fifty years of experience in defense and aerospace electronics manufacturing; it competes without socioeconomic set-asides across all federal award vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme and Navy-centric. Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) accounts for 313 awards with $40.3 million combined potential value across the portfolio—87% of total potential value—making it the dominant funding agency by a wide margin. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places 156 awards ($4.5 million), while Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Naval Air Systems Command, and Air Force Materiel Command account for the remaining material volume. The top five customers represent 100% of combined potential value in the source's coverage. This concentration reflects Projects Unlimited's core business: supplying discrete aircraft system components, printed wiring assemblies (analog input PWAs, motherboards, interconnect PWAs, discrete input/output PWAs), wiring integration assemblies, power supply assemblies, control units, and aircraft processors to naval aviation platforms. Representative NAVSUP prime awards include a $992.4 million definitive contract for AWIRT assembly (April 2025), a $664.7 thousand definitive contract for interface unit data components via single-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 (October 2025), and multiple purchase orders ranging from $6,931 to $509.9 thousand for various interconnect PWAs and wiring assemblies (May–July 2026). A $1.03 million delivery order for wiring assembly integration performed in Amarillo, Texas, runs through January 2027.

Projects Unlimited holds two parent vehicles: a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation valued at $250 thousand (November 2027 expiration) for control and alarm systems, and a Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) executed June 22, 2026, running through June 22, 2031, for non-commercial electronic components and printed wiring assemblies without a specified ceiling. The BOA originated to support recurring naval aviation procurement. Top IDVs from the source include NAVSUP Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038318DP801 (31 task orders, $5.9 million combined potential value) and associated BOAs and DLA IDCs spanning the rest of the vehicle portfolio.

Award volume has grown materially over the past five years: from fourteen in 2022 to sixty-four in 2024, with sixty-three awards in 2025 and twenty-three in the first half of 2026. However, this volume masks a critical exposure: the source reports combined potential value of $46.2 million against combined dollars obligated of $74 million (160% of potential value), indicating substantial over-obligation or milestone-based payment structures on existing contracts. Nineteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $2.5 million—a recompete risk window.

Projects Unlimited subcontracts with major aerospace primes on both rotorcraft and transport aircraft programs. Bell Boeing Joint Project Office is the largest prime partner, with recent sub-awards including wiring integration assemblies, chassis assemblies, control units, and avionics components for the V-22 and CMV-22 production lots (July 2025–July 2026). Bell Textron receives subcontract work on AH-1Z helicopters, including wiring integration assemblies, panels, and sensor assemblies for Foreign Military Sales (Nigerian AH-1ZS program, May–August 2025). GE Aviation Systems and Lockheed Martin round out the major prime relationships, with sub work on circuit card assemblies and C-130J data integration units. The subcontract footprint spans defense contractor product support programs (performance-based logistics), Foreign Military Sales, and aircraft production long-lead-item procurement.

The category concentration data reflects a hybrid business model: 219 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 336413), 85 under Aircraft Manufacturing (336411), and a significant tail in Search, Detection, Navigation guidance systems (334511) and electronic component manufacturing (334419). Top PSC codes include Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (180 awards), Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment (139 awards), and Relays and Solenoids (80 awards). This breadth masks the core positioning: Projects Unlimited is a single-source or limited-source supplier of flight-critical electronic assemblies to naval aircraft, with established source-approval credentials from design control activities and pricing power rooted in technical qualification barriers and long development lead times. The company's Amarillo, Texas performance location on selected NAVSUP and DLA work suggests either a satellite facility or work performed at a partner site on distributed production. Recent awards explicitly cite "source approval documentation" and "stringent technical requirements and limited approved supplier base" as procurement drivers, indicating Projects Unlimited has achieved preferential supplier status that shields it from full-and-open competition on renewal work—despite formal set-aside-free designations in award records.
