Safran Ventilation Systems Usa, LLC

Safran Ventilation Systems Usa, LLC, a foreign-owned manufacturer of aircraft ventilation systems and engine fans, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) providing repair, overhaul, and component manufacturing services to federal defense and maritime agencies on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The company is headquartered in Everett, Washington, and is a subsidiary of French aerospace conglomerate Safran Power USA LLC (parent: Safran SA). Across recent awards spanning 2022 to 2026, Safran has delivered $13.6 million in combined potential value with $6.4 million obligated, across 122 total awards split among five distinct federal agencies.

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversifiable. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard represents 114 awards (93% of volume) and $13 million in combined potential value (95.6% of dollars), leaving the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, Department of the Air Force, and Department of the Army as minor actors. Coast Guard work centers on a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDV) valued at $6,027,416 running through December 31, 2027, for overhaul of engine cooling fans on MH-65 helicopters and repair of fans on HC-144 aircraft, performed in Everett. Representative prime awards include a $166,166.58 delivery order (January 23, 2026, ultimate completion April 10, 2026) for engine fan overhaul under the MH-65 IDV; a $148,344 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (July 28, 2025, ultimate completion January 26, 2026) for fan assembly components; and a $270,198 purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center (January 10, 2024, ultimate completion September 30, 2024) for environmental control system fans, designated as a total small business set-aside — the only set-aside in the footprint. This naval award carried a base order of 26 fans with an option for 25 additional fans.

Activity has accelerated sharply over the past three years, climbing from 4 awards in 2022 to a peak of 19 in 2024, before dropping to 8 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. The top three parent vehicles span three separate Coast Guard IDVs: HSCG3810D202049 (31 task orders, $587 thousand combined potential value), 70Z03823DB2000003 (22 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), and HSCG3815D202050 (15 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value), plus an Air Force vehicle (FA863722DB001) carrying 2 task orders. Work under these vehicles ranges from $10,000 to $166,000 per delivery order, with cumulative task-order activity well above $1 million. Capability framing splits across NAICS 333912 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 60 awards) and NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, 57 awards), with PSC concentration in Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Aircraft Components and Accessories (104 awards) and Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment (6 awards).

Safran holds only three subcontract awards in the source data, placing it as a sub to Bell Textron Inc. on the Future Vertical Lift FLRAA Capability Set Three program (September 11, 2025) and to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. on Armed Overwatch delivery orders (October 9, 2024, and November 21, 2024) for industrial and commercial fan and blower air-pressure work. The L3Harris relationship spans at least two separate delivery orders against the same IDIQ base.

The recompete cliff is acute. The $6,027,416 Coast Guard MH-65 IDV, which anchors the entire footprint, expires December 31, 2027, placing it approximately eighteen months from the 2026-07-15 snapshot date. Loss of this vehicle would eliminate approximately 95% of potential revenue in the source portfolio. Obligated dollars ($6.4 million against $13.6 million potential) suggest roughly half of the Coast Guard contract ceiling has been drawn to date, with substantial remaining runway under the current vehicle through its expiration.
