Ruag, LLC

Ruag, LLC (doing business as Ruag Inc.), a foreign-owned for-profit corporation headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a subcontractor on Department of Defense aircraft maintenance and parts supply programs, with 92% of recent awards flowing through subcontracts under the prime contractor Vertex Aerospace LLC. The vendor holds one prime contract award (8% of recent activity) but does not hold a federal contract vehicle.

Ruag's federal footprint concentrates entirely on F-5 aircraft maintenance and other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. All twelve subcontracts under Vertex Aerospace target the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center and flow through Indefinite Delivery Contract N0042124D0003, with sub awards dating from November 2024 through October 2025. The single prime award, valued at $3.6 million, sits with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base. Work is categorized across NAICS Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (all 13 awards). Recent subcontract activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2017, one in 2024, and eleven sub awards in 2025 through October — reflecting what appears to be a ramp-up in F-5 sustainment work under the Vertex Aerospace relationship. Combined potential value across all thirteen awards totals $3.6 million, with $639 thousand obligated to date (18% of combined potential value), indicating early execution on recent sub awards.

The vendor's operational posture is entirely Navy and Air Force focused, with no civilian agency exposure or GSA vehicle participation. Customer concentration by award count reads 100% across two agencies — the Navy accounting for 12 awards (all sub work) and the Air Force accounting for 1 award (the prime contract). The concentration by potential value inverts slightly; the Air Force prime award anchors the dollar magnitude. Ruag operates exclusively as a Vertex Aerospace subcontractor on Navy programs and carries no named GWAC, BPA, or government-wide vehicle seats of its own.
