Reliance Aeroproducts International, L.l.c

Reliance Aeroproducts International, L.L.C., doing business as Reliance Aeroproducts International LP, manufactures aircraft fuel tanks and fuel cells for military aviation platforms as a prime contractor exclusively in open-market (non-set-aside) federal procurements. The company is a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in Mansfield, Texas, competing across full-and-open federal markets without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides.

Reliance Aeroproducts' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in aerospace and defense manufacturing. The company specializes in the production and repair of aircraft fuel system components, with particular emphasis on F/A-18 fighter jet fuel cells and Navy and Marine Corps aviation supply. Over the past several years, Reliance Aeroproducts has received over 1,900 total awards with $41.7 million in combined potential value. However, the award portfolio exhibits a dual structure: the vendor holds two indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) valued at $7.34 million (multiple-award, through March 2027) and $1.5 million (single-award, through June 2024), which anchor most recent task order activity, while a separate large-volume stream of small-dollar orders flows through General Services Administration blanket purchase agreements, primarily for adhesives and coatings manufacturing (not aerospace-specific). The aerospace footprint is substantially narrower than the headline award count suggests: 270 NAVSUP awards account for $26.1 million in potential value—63% of total—while the next-largest customer, Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, placed 53 awards worth $9.3 million primarily for non-aerospace supplies. The Air Force Materiel Command, Army, and Army Materiel Command together account for 556 awards but only $240 thousand in combined value, reflecting transactional small-dollar buys.

Customer concentration in aerospace defense centers entirely on the Department of the Navy. NAVSUP's 270 awards represent 46% of the vendor's total award count and 62% of its aerospace potential value. Recent representative delivery orders under the March 2024 NAVSUP multiple-award IDV include a $1.14 million order for aircraft fuel tank procurement (completion June 2027), an $810 thousand order for fuel tanks (completion July 2028), a $244 thousand order for fuel tanks (completion March 2027), and an $8.17 thousand order for fuel cells (completion April 2026). NAVSUP has issued approximately 27 task orders totaling $3.7 million against the primary IDV since its March 2024 award, with individual order values ranging from $1,150 to $1.14 million and completion dates extending through June 2027. The vendor also received a $2.84 thousand purchase order from the Air Force Air Education and Training Command for T-38 fuel tank repair services (September 2023), demonstrating limited non-Navy defense work. The recompete cliff presents moderate pressure: ten awards with combined potential value of $3.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing approximately 8% of the vendor's current contract portfolio.

All work is performed at Reliance Aeroproducts' facility in Mansfield, Texas. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2002 and competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no visible subcontract footprint. A named subsidiary, Reliance Coated Fabrics, Inc., signals diversification into coating and adhesive manufacturing—consistent with the large volume of non-aerospace task orders under GSA BPAs for preservative compounds, adhesives, and paints—though aerospace fuel system work remains the core defense capability. The vendor's ability to sustain task orders in open-market competition without set-aside protection, combined with NAVSUP's pattern of increasing individual order values, reflects strong performance reliability in a specialized, sole-source or limited-competition aerospace niche.
