Sifco Industries Inc.

Sifco Industries Inc., based in Cleveland, Ohio, manufactures highly engineered precision forgings and aerospace components, operating as a prime contractor on small-value purchase orders and as a subcontractor on aircraft platforms and defense systems to major primes including Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, Bell Textron, Sikorsky Aircraft, and Boeing. The company competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Sifco's capability portfolio centers on hot cogging forging, press forging dies, and nickel-titanium (NiTi) and nickel-titanium-hafnium (NiTiHf) cast ingot processing for aerospace thermal applications. Recent prime work includes a $25,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Shared Services Center for press forging V-dies for cogging NiTiHf ingots to bar (completed September 2024), a $12,146.70 order from NASA's Shared Services Center for hot cogging forging trials on 5-inch NiTi and NiTiHf cast ingots (completed July 2024), and a $15,216.67 order from the Shared Services Center for hot cogging forging trials on 5-inch NiTi and NiTiHf cast ingots (completion March 2025). The company operates two subsidiaries: Sifco Applied Surface Concepts, LLC and Quality Aluminum Forge, LLC.

Sifco's revenue concentration is heavily weighted to defense platforms through its subcontractor role. The company holds 428 total awards, 83% as prime and 17% as sub. The top five customers by award count account for 73% of awards: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (91 awards, $701 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (83 awards, $243 thousand), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (50 awards, $153 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (49 awards, $76 thousand), and the Department of the Army (39 awards, $44 thousand). The two rankings align closely — the Army and Navy dominate both volume and dollars — with the potential-value top five accounting for 80% of combined potential value. Award activity shows significant acceleration: two awards in 2018 to thirty-one in 2024, with sixteen awards in 2025 and nine in 2026 year-to-date.

Sifco's primary federal revenue derives from subcontractor work on helicopter and tilt-rotor platforms. The company supplies forgings, gearbox components, gimbal rings, pillow blocks, and retainer assemblies to Bell Boeing for V-22 and CMV-22 production and performance-based logistics programs, to Bell Textron for AH-1Z, UH-1Y, and Future Vertical Lift (FLRAA) programs including gimbal rings, pilot-block forgings, and drag-brace assemblies, to Sikorsky for CH-53K, UH-60 Black Hawk, and Combat Rescue Helicopter production, and to Boeing and Northrop Grumman on fixed-wing aerospace commodities and forgings. Sub awards span 2023 through July 2026, with Bell Boeing and Bell Textron driving the majority of recent volume. The company also subcontracts forging and machining support to ES3 Prime Logistics Group and supplies aircraft parts and repair services through Sikorsky platforms.

Sifco's award portfolio is characterized by high transaction volume at low individual values. Combined potential value across 428 awards is $1.6 million, while combined dollars obligated stand at $24 million — indicating the company invoices substantially above stated potential values, typical of long-standing vendor relationships with recurring replenishment and repair orders. The top five parent vehicles are Army and Navy indefinite delivery contracts focused on maintenance, repair, and procurement (SPM40605D1376 with 11 task orders; N0038322DZV01 with 8; SP040605D1376 with 8; SPRPA120D9401 with 6; N0038319DU501 with 3), all carrying low individual ceilings consistent with Sifco's spot-procurement and commodity-supply role. NAICS concentration reflects the company's surface-treatment and chemical-specialties work: electroplating, plating, and anodizing (100 awards), miscellaneous chemical manufacturing (98 awards), and aircraft manufacturing and components (87 awards combined). Most awards are coded to PSC 23 (Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties), indicating Sifco functions as a specialized supplier of surface-treated and finished components rather than a systems integrator.
