Russell Plastics Technology Co Inc.

Russell Plastics Technology Co Inc. manufactures aircraft components and helicopter rotor blades as a subcontractor (49% of 154 recent awards) and prime contractor (51%) on defense rotorcraft and Army aviation programs, with a self-certified small disadvantaged business profile. The company, a child of parent Vaupell Industrial Plastics, Inc. (a foreign-owned manufacturer based in Everett, Washington), operates from Lindenhurst, New York, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside vehicles — its two recent prime purchase orders from the Department of Defense (March 2026, $23,250 for plain seals; July 2021, $33,740 for sump body lubricants) carry no set-aside designation.

Russell Plastics' customer base concentrates heavily on Navy and Army aviation. The top five customer organizations account for 55% of recent awards by count, led by the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (24 awards) and Naval Supply Systems Command (18 awards), followed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (16 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army (15 awards, $586 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (12 awards, $192 thousand). By potential value, the Army and its subordinate commands anchor the portfolio, accounting for 97% of the combined potential value across all awards. The category concentration reflects this rotorcraft specialization: 62 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing NAICS, and 26 awards span helicopter rotor blades, drive mechanisms, and components PSC codes; 43 awards span Aircraft Manufacturing NAICS, with additional exposure in airframe structural components and guided missile remote control systems.

Recent activity has accelerated markedly — one award in 2021, three in 2023, seventeen in 2024, and forty-nine in 2025, with seven through May 2026 — though combined potential value ($2.9 million) sits low relative to combined dollars obligated ($27.4 million), indicating a high volume of lower-dollar task orders and modifications. Russell Plastics places work under five named Navy and Army IDCs and BOAs: the Navy's Basic Ordering Agreement N0038320GX901 (14 task orders), the Navy's Indefinite Delivery Contract N0016404D8719 (7 task orders, $197 thousand), the Army's Indefinite Delivery Contract W58RGZ18D0082 (7 task orders), the Army's H-60 contract 70Z02321DAMH00400 (6 task orders), and the Army's contract DAAH2302D0068 (5 task orders, $586 thousand). Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

Russell Plastics' subcontractor footprint is dominated by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the primary helicopter airframe integrator, where the vendor supplies main rotor blades, rotary rudder blades, and blade assemblies for the CH-53K, H-60M Black Hawk, and CH-53 programs across dozens of sub-awards (May 2026, April 2026, October 2025, July 2025, and earlier); the vendor also subcontracts to Boeing and Lockheed Martin on CH-47F Chinook, V-22 Osprey, and rotorcraft modernization work, and to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office on V-22 long-lead items and component manufacturing. The concrete capability stack is blade and rotor assembly fabrication, aircraft interior and exterior composite components, antenna and waveguide components, and airframe structural parts — work that sits entirely within the rotorcraft supply chain rather than the commercial aviation or defense systems integration markets.

Custom(build-to-print)manufacturer of aircraft parts and assemblies which utilize composite materials. Includes non-structural, structural and flight crtical applications. Markets include the U.S. military helicopter and fixed wing aircraft industries
